Things That Drive Me Crazy :: Top Ten

These are not in specific order.

People talk on their cell phone in public :: As if I care about their conversation or as if I don’t care that they are in a serious conversation. Seriously people…



People over explain a simple concept :: Explaining to me in a slooooooow process and over detailed concept, as if I can’t grasp it :: Most people’s minds move and process 3x’s faster than spoken word. Pick it up people, I can’t get back wasted time.



People eat fast and chew or talk with their mouths filled ::
Etiquette is a dying form of civility. Slow down and don’t inhale your food.




I am on a cell call and call waiting beeps in :: Then a moment later I am prompted that I have message. Then the person texts…Three interruptions.

I am on a cell call and it drops due to bad reception ::

My house phone rings :: Seriously, if my wife were OK with it our home phone would be disconnected by years ago.

When a TV show goes to commercial and the volume cranks :: Without any change in volume, the commercial blares at 30 more decibels. The creators record the commercial louder that an average show so you and I can hear in when we walk into the other room.

People are late :: If you are early, you are on time. If you are on time, your late.


When the people are taken advantage of :: Implement justice for those who can’t for themselves.

When I have to spend time around judgmental people :: Really, ironically and quite hypocritically, I am judgmental towards judgmental people.




What bugs you?

I am working on it...

We've Been Hacked...Or So I Have Been Told

I knew the Triad Broadcast had traction. A few months ago I was told it was a featured podcast on Itunes. A waiter at a diner told me that he had seen it. I didn't check. Regardless, if it was or wasn't, we have had some good traffic and great conversations.

The Back Story
Last week I read that a CA Political figure wanted to propose lifting the ban on weed, dank, bud...call it what you want. It was intriguing to me. So last week we talked on air about it. Within 12 hours of posting it, the website with the MP3 player at www.jasonharper.cc crashed. What was odd is that the main page loaded but the Broadcast Player crashed.

I called the computer network team. They recognized some "weird" script but nothing for sure. They forwarded it to the Design Team. I called them too. The Design Team at Hydrate Studios pulled the files and examined them. Nothing was there that they could explain. His only assessment was that we had been hacked. I not a computer guy... I have no clue.

If We Were Hacked
The only thing I can think is someone could not get past the title. Maybe they dove in and were livid at dialog. Maybe they wanted dogma, rules, more regulations within religion. The bud smokers didn't blast it.

I am not one to dodge a conflict. Most of the time I don't seek it either. However, I have 2 questions, if it is accurate.

1) How hard up is someone to hack our site, only to melt down our player and contact page?

2) Were we really hacked? If so, by which group. Over zealous do-gooders who are a religious form of the Taliban?

It may not be a surprise to you, but some people despise open dialog. The religionist (not Christians) but rule mongers, can't stand liberty and an open mic in the hands of a person with the ability to formulate an original thought.

But we are smarter. Its on Itunes. Its on mirror sites. Its still out there.

So, I present to you, hacked, but not silenced:

Episode 195: Legalized Weed For Greed?

A Glimpse Into My IN:sanity:: JHARP

When looking at me from the outside, inward, I am difficult to understand. When looking from the inside, outward…I am difficult to explain.
Complexity and contradiction abounds for those at arms length...
Clarity for those close.

After last years run, I started talking to a shrink. To make it more palpable, I call it a therapist. The question I asked was why do I compete in everything I do? Why do I not have an "off" switch. The hole I had to climb down in to in order to finish was dark, very dark. I have flashbacks. Why do I want to go there again? She helps me get it. I seem simple to me, not to others.

My goal and direction is pretty simple:

"To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of my children
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
to endure the betrayal of false friends
to appreciate beauty
to find the best in others
to speak kindness of all people. (that is the toughest)!"

Invest in people. Invite others closer. Include all.
