AntiHubris.com is happy to announce several new
resources. We've been working quintuple overtime to put
together a resource to Get to Know and Know How to Contact
Your Elected Representative Betterer Than
Elsewhere, which includes an RSS reader to
help you stay up to date with other useful
resources, e.g. recent decisions of the U.S.
Supreme Court, the most recent political news,
etc.
We also put together a resource to help you Get to Know and Know How to Contact a US Senator, which includes contact information of the 100 U.S. Senators. To help keep you up to date with the latest Senatorial news, we've also included a RSS stream from the Senators that use RSS.
For our third new resource, we've made e-mail subscriptions to our own RSS feeds as easy as apple pie. Enjoy!

Ramblin' On or What's in a Location?

We thought all was well, well we were wrong. The
AntiHubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department (sometimes
it seems they are slower than us, what with the
computer problems we had for 15 years and all),
realized that if we continued along the lines of
their suggestion #1 of the
last post (A Place For Ramblin' and Random Recordin') -
our beloved home-page would never load in even the most
super-highspeed-ultra-hyper-fast internet connection:
even w/ archivin' et all, we'd just babble on too much.
Ergo, our Ramblin' and Recordin' Ramblings were
randomly relocated to this comfy spot (the view is
extraordinary! - and it's the location that was
random).
Well, this spot is our permanent musing local, we've done gone and heard that too much relocatin' can break the web - and we don't want all our hard pontificatin' and erudition to go to waste (we fired our old architect... what?... don't worry about the cannon smoke, it'll clear in just a sec).
What's in a location anyway? We like this new permanent place, it was too much pressure being out front and center, the limelight was causing a bit of vertigo, and we can't well ramble on when we can't tell up from down.
Anyway, carry on & enjoy AntiHubris.com in all its splendor!

A Place For Ramblin' and Random Recordin'

We have spent quite a lot of time (way, way too much!)
trying to figure out a proper location for jotting down
and posting our random thoughts on Hubris and
Anti-Hubris - So many thoughts (as dumb as they may be)
quickly come and go.
We really, really wanted a place to post our thoughts before they float off into the ether, esp. given the ubiquity and intensity of hubris in every area of our modern world. There wasn’t anyplace in our site that seemed just right.
Then, a stroke of luck! We were musing on the subject when a squadron of the AntiHubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department happened upon us.
They told us that they would stop interrupting our wonderful diatribes in some of our favorite areas of the site (we think they want us to focus more on the Hubrometer), if two things occurred: 1. We change our outdated homepage & put our ramblings there; and 2. Redo the site’s layout – it looked very nice but the css and graphics made each page take a very long time to load, even with many of the types of broadband.
We really didn’t mind the first ultimatum of the Antihubris.com Stop the Diatribe Department, but their second demand… We spent so long on making the site look so very, very cool. Our first though was to simply purchase a super-hyper-ultra-high-speed Internet connection for everyone in the world.
When we proposed our brilliant idea to our treasurer, she passed out on the spot. After she explained the economics of our idea, we then proposed to redo the entire structure of the Internet to super-hyper-ultra-high-speed connections via tin cans & twine. Our treasurer told us that this idea was fine, but the expenses had to come out of our petty cash.
Everything from there on out seemed to be going very smooth, and then we hit a snag. It turns out that $3.67 doesn’t buy near enough tin cans or twine. What’s worse was that no “Computer Guru” or “Super Techie” could figure out how to get computers to utilize our new infrastructure.
Alas! We finally gave in to the Antihubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department’s second demand, and redid the site’s layout (the current one is just a momentary placeholder).
Besides these two alterations, the site is otherwise unaffected, so go & enjoy!
