Yes We Can. Yes We Will. Let’s Unite, America!
My support for Barack Obama is BACK ON!
I have been observing his speeches, reading “in between the lines” and I now believe that our desires are fairly similar. Whether or not he demolishes the Federal Reserve and IRS remains to be seen, however, he is in a great position to unite this very much divided country.
I believe Barack, like myself, craves for moving this country beyond irrelevant, old and outdated beliefs. For too long, our country has been sliced like stale bread, while being forced to feast from the inside out. It’s time to cut out the cancer of divisive politics and social policies. It’s time to unify and demolish these old ideas (hint: “Race”) and everything else which has been designed to separate human beings.
However, keep one thing in mind: I am not waiting for any one individual to speak on my behalf or change this country, but I do believe that Barack is an amazing position to encourage great inspiration and change. It’s a position that any person who truly desires to unify this country wishes to be in and that person is Barack.
It’s time to unfiy, America. Yes, we can defeat and overcome our country’s past. Yes, we will finally unite and put behind us ideas which tell us we’re different, when we’re so much alike.
Finally, America, let’s not wait on Obama to lead the change. We are a nation of more than 300 Million people. If we so desire, we can be the real point of change. We can come together and demolish old ideas which separate human beings. We can come together and deal the final blow to social ideas which have reigned control of our unconscious minds for far too long.
Yes we can realize a race-free society within 100 years.

EC2 Consulting: Referral program for Amazon EC2
To help accelerate my Amazon EC2 consulting goals (at least 10 clients per month to start), I am considering a referral program which will pay $50-$100 per paying referral. This is a great and easy way for someone to make extra money referring potential clients to my services.
If you’re not aware of Amazon EC2, there’s a lot of information available here. In a nutshell, it’s a phenomenal, mass utility computing platform which utilizes Amazon’s multi-billion dollar IT infrastructure to power web applications and more.
EC2 Consulting: Asterisk PBX and Amazon EC2
For a few months now, I’ve evaluated, tested and deployed various images (virtual servers) and applications on Amazon’s robust EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) platform. I not only host various websites on the service, but also databases, files and even Digium’s Asterisk PBX!
Two months ago, I installed the Asterisk PBX (I like to compile the code, rather than using packages) to one of my EC2 servers for testing. Everything worked flawlessly, except an annoying SIP over NAT issue which prevented the passing of audio between clients and the server. Now that I’ve corrected it, I recently transitioned my Asterisk configuration away form home to Amazon EC2.
The result? Success! I couldn’t be happier with the performance of my PBX on Amazon EC2 when compared to my Dell PowerEdge 2400 server at home. Now, I can add even more phone lines and features thanks to the increase in processing power and bandwidth.
This is telephony on steroids!
