The American dollar. How low will it go?

Just how poor is the dollar?

I’m amazed at how much this currency has dropped in value over the years… even months. It wasn’t too long ago that Canada’s dollar surpassed the US dollar. With a 9 trillion dollar debt I am shocked the US dollar has any value to it. Many of the commenter’s for this video stated they were experiencing some of the same problems in other countries when exchanging the US dollar for the local currency. In the video it talks about a $4.00 orange juicefor what looked to be 20oz. Is orange juice that valuable to you?

MooJooBee.com introduces theme version 5.0 for the highly anticipated update of Wordpress

As noted in a previous entry, Worpress has about released (update: They have released RC1) version 2.5. The current theme we were using was too *busy* and actually noted a decrease of traffic with that theme. Not so much because there was a lack of content, but because it wasn’t a good theme at all. WP_Premium 1.0 by R.Bhavesh has provided the perfect base for a new theme. One that is compliant with most all current web standards as noted with the WaSP group. I also have more control with my sidebar content over there on the right hand side of this page. Soon I’ll be implementing interactive content for GUI (Graphical User Interface) such as AJAX comments, real time visitor status, the pages you’ve visited on my site and how long you’ve been on each page. This is actually good for both of us, you and me, as I’ll be able to target material to your interest as this software helps me.

Since the creation of Mark and Heather’s gallery I was inspired to redo ours. I know what you’re thinking, “Is he ever going to be satisfied with his creations?” Simply, no. I have always wanted for a very long time to implement this gallery software from ZenPhoto which has given me nothing but trouble over the past few years until this past winter they basically reworked their code from the ground up. “Darren, why not use a free image hosting niche like Photoucket?” Because I don’t like the limitations they have. MooJooBee.com has decent traffic and images hosted with a site like Photobucket would eventually not show with that annoying *bandwidth exceed* stamp where the image should be. ZenPhoto in my opinion is better than Coppermine (our current gallery code) and MUCH easier to customize to the demands of MooJooBee.com. ZenPhoto loads faster, preserves a seemingly more accurate EXIF data for each image, and I just overall am pleased with it now that I have it working. Now don’t get me wrong… Coppermine is POWERFUL and that is really the reason I am eliminating it from our site as the main gallery program. In many ways Coppermine is better than ZenPhoto, just not for MooJooBee.com. Keep checking back for updates with the release of our new gallery.

Middle McEathron boy gets married.

Mark and Heather had their wedding. Here is the photo album (www.moojoobee.com/markandheather/wedding/) (one of about three albums, me thinks) that I currently have uploaded. I didn’t bother going through removing bad images since there were so many photos. I’ll leave that up to Mark and Heather.

What I learned last evening.

I learned what it meant to truly be hurt.
I learned what it meant to truly be deceived.
I learned what it meant to truly be cast to the curb.
I learned what it meant to truly be forgotten.
I learned what it meant to truly be the victim.
I learned what it meant to truly be lonely.
I learned what it meant to truly want what I no longer can have.I learned that deception destroys lives, and… love.
That word has no value to it right now. That word no longer belongs in my ears or heart.

I learned what true friends are.
- the ones that don’t matter mean the most
- the ones that do matter mean the least.
- the ones that stand in your face and tell you you’re wrong are the wisest.
- the ones that are there only to validate feelings are only thinking about themselves.\
- the ones that sit and seek true wisdom on their knees with you are wisest.
No longer do I have to feel guilt and shame for my own deception in my circle of family and friends. No, not even now do I sit and point the finger because it is beyond my conviction.

I know what endurance means. And I know what forgiveness is. I love feeling of humbleness because of the appreciation that grows from it. Before us is right and wrong. And if you do wrong, a true wise friend will see that and intercede on your behalf. If you do wrong, KNOW that forgiveness is available where guilt does not reside.

I learned something last evening, learned what it meant to truly be hurt by love.
