	<description><![CDATA[<p>I know it makes little sense to be redecorating while your house is on fire, but we simply can&#39;t wait on the US government to right itself before we create our own systems of survival. While we can&#39;t forget to fix the original failing systems, creating those secondary systems of survival for folks is my current focus. &nbsp;Our first project is to create good, stable, and high-paying jobs for our most vulnerable - so I&#39;m focusing first on the LGBT and immigrant communities. But, we&#39;re sharing everything we do - so our hope is other groups will emulate our work and spread into all the other communities that we won&#39;t have the resources to serve.&nbsp;</p><p>Geeks are going to rule the world, and right now security folks can name their price. The best jobs are going to be technology related, but there are some tech jobs that can be done by people with little tech skills. &nbsp;I&#39;ll be writing more about Virtual Greeters in a few months, but anyone with high-speed Internet and a VR headset can already get an awesome job working from home (or anywhere with Internet access) in a four hour work shift. &nbsp;A &quot;Virtual Greeter&quot; is like the <em>Wal-Mart</em> Door Greeter, you virtually stand on the front page of a web site and greet customers and answer questions. These are AWESOME jobs for the physically disabled!</p><p>I&#39;ve always been about sharing my code with the world, but the problem with open-source is that it is driven mostly by self-interest. This means the harder, less-interesting parts of code never get tackled. To fix this, we&#39;re creating a hybrid approach. The code is still open-source, but we let developers bid on those projects so they can actually get paid to do that boring but critical work. One person has made over $60K just doing a bunch of little jobs. If we get creative, the community can do what the failing government can&#39;t accomplish!</p><p>Here&#39;s a look at what this new economy looks like, and although <em>High Fidelity</em> is looking for mostly geeks - non-geeks should still check out their site and click on the project and team buttons. I have a feeling the majority of the best jobs are going to be found through sites and new economies like this one:<br /><a href="https://worklist.net/">https://worklist.net/</a></p>]]></description>

I wrote a script to automate my renewals, and then I just check to make sure it completes successfully. Note: regardless of your expiration date, you want to run your CRON at least weekly, if not daily, just to check if there was a revocation issued by the CA!</span></div><div style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Here&#39;s a link to a free Certificate Authority: </span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://letsencrypt.org" style="font-size: 14px;">letsencrypt.org</a></span></div></div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 6px; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>America: The Rebuild</strong></span> - I want everyone to please read this, because it will take EVERYONE to help solve it! I&#39;ll try to remain brief, and fill in more details over time.</p><p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">My secret missions at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/hoodarmy?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=10154756701322921" style="color: rgb(54, 88, 153); cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: rgb(66, 103, 178);">#</span>HoodArmy</a>&nbsp;have been completed, and I&#39;m going to start slowly releasing the details to the public. I will go into those later, but for now I can only say I wish I could take credit for everything we&#39;re getting blamed for! If you add up the time involved for my verified projects, you&#39;ll see it isn&#39;t evenly humanly possible to accomplish much of the stupid stuff I sometimes get accused of. LOL</p><div style="color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><p style="margin-bottom: 6px;">Today, I am finally back to the working point where I was pre-election. We had organized secret groups all over the country who were already working to rebuild from the damage done from Trump and his followers just during the campaign. His winning the election forced us all further underground, and delayed that vital work six months and counting! Now that he has power, our secret groups can&#39;t accomplish much more without the support of the public. That&#39;s where y&#39;all come in! The entire world NEEDS YOUR HELP!</p><p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px;">Actor <strong>Michael K. Williams</strong> has a series on VICE called &quot;<em>Black Market</em>&quot; that examines the problems of society. One of the opening tag lines is: <em>&quot;When the system fails you.... you create your own system.&quot;</em></p><p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px;">That simple statement explains all of the banes of mankind! Many, as I first did, mistook that as an excuse to create your own system. While that is necessary for survival - that is the explanation of the problem, and not the solution to the problem. Yes, we immediately have to create those systems for survival - but we must also work to fix the original systems that failed. There is a big difference in treating the symptoms, and curing the disease.</p><p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px;">So, for now this is what I ask: everyone has unique talents and interests. PLEASE go out into your community and think about ways to use those talents to not only help improve the lives of those who have been forced to create their own systems of survival, but help us think of ways to fix those original failing systems. Check sites like <strong>MeetUp</strong> for like-minded people and activities. I&#39;ll be posting more info on this soon!</p><p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px;">To my activists: <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>all other work and discussions will be futile until we restore the right and integrity of the vote</em></span>. THAT must be our starting point! THINK! FOCUS! ACT!!! &hearts;</p></div>]]></description>
