Targeted Individual

    Its a term I've seen in recent months through a particular social site which I hadn't previously seen used, and generally one in which I would have thought in the context of isolated, or what I mean to say here is that often times someone identified in this manner would generally be in a small minority relative to a larger population set, and generally as far as I could tell this maybe as likely true, although any clear criminology analytic information on this maybe harder to come by?!

First I'd mention that socially orchestrated phenomenon such as rallying, organizing for social events, such as protesting to be heard, for instance, at or near governmental buildings, commercial, and otherwise, are quite known, or that any known group (publicized by media) would act to stage a socially directed protest at the funerals of deceased soldiers (see Westboro Baptist Church), and that this form of 'protest' itself actually in many ways seems to be modeled on a form of psychological warfare tactic.  The problem often that I've seen related, in so far as the descriptions of events concerning those self identified potentially as targeted individuals is that the type of social behaviors often experienced, seem out of sync with the common place experience of any other individual that would neither describe themselves as invariably targeted, while one couldn't claim that social targeting by criminally organized groups of individuals have not possible (e.g., no further then looking to the history of civil rights struggle).  A modern context of this struggle, however, might not be delineated by the more conspicuous attributes of any individual representing such group (e.g., wearing certain types of clothing, or having some conspicuous manner of appearance), that instead they could look more like any individual from any given background, and that the tactics used in staging any organized behavior were more likely guerrilla  style tactics (e.g., a group of protesters that show up out of the blue at a governmental building only to have that much more time in gaining an illegal entrance).  Then coupling this with the other problematic half, if such events were likely taking place domestically, "who would exactly believe that it were possible?"  And how many should be included in on the conspiracy?   And what motive?

     I'd first potentially start with motive on the claim that much violence orchestrated is owing to much other then political motivation, or this could be the most likely suspect cause as for any.  For instance, I'd read yesterday, that hate crimes were dramatically on the incline in the past few months in the UK, attributed to activities of known extreme right groups (or those likely with certain political motivations).  While there could be differences between activities arising domestically here versus there, it seems to me more suspect that some political motivation should exist somewhere for some reason.  Part of this question, however, remains unclear to me, with respect to the some of the readings on this subject matter that I have done.  Firstly that a given victim, offered that mostly that he weren't on the outs in society (e.g., real estate agent) and that generally he hadn't discussed much politics period, although he mentioned he had spoke of a slightly disparaging remark at one particular social event to a coworker about a former president, but generally as he recalled the remark weren't a significant one, more like a joke, or very light in passing.  He himself, felt as thought, his case were almost as if having been randomly picked out of a phone book, or something to this effect, or in other words, if it were like a very sick social experiment, part of a control group.

    Then relatively speaking other accounts, should seem a bit different, while having by definition patterned similarities with respect to the nature of how victimization were taking place.  Gang stalking, illegal surveillance/eavesdropping, forced entry, as some examples.  Then others describe symptoms as exceeding such as suffering bodily pains, sensations, mental/neurological impairment issues (basically things that could run the nebulous gambit of fibromyalgia (pain suffering disorders), clinical depression, schizophrenia, and the list goes on.  Likely I'd simply make the distinction between one social set of suffers, and honestly I could say that potentially fit into both such classes, but for the sake of ease in discussion.  I'd mention the first class as non harassed "electronically" as has been stated versus another class that has claimed otherwise.  Personally, since I hadn't the clear evidence of what clearly should be the cause and/or that my feeling were an arousal of suspicion that any of the 'electronic' tools supposedly mentioned should meet necessary benchmarks for viability of producing any number of symptoms that victims have described.  This is to say mere making the brain as if it were possible with today's radio transmissions technologies, as receptive and producing high level neurological phenomenon as has been suggested seems amiss to me, or that there at least should be something more of sophistication here then has been suggested otherwise of these given potential technologies.  As to the first class of suffers, those that have felt themselves victims of non bodily invasive forms of electronic harassment (e.g., surveillance/eavesdropping) the good news is that such claim is certainly a more viably defended one.  Off the shelf technology readily exists is cheap enough, and detection equipment may be thought less commonplace used in any given home (as a counter measure).  This is to say, socially we may be more likely to put up cameras, then to think ourselves the victims culturally of surveillance/eavesdropping or at least knowing what to do in these circumstances to protect ourselves.  Digital storage is only cheaper, and that camera technologies could be fashioned in the way of design that were found in top notched spy surveillance equipment of the past decades means that the probabilities of increased use by non governmental s alike could be a reality (i.e., to say people have more then mean then ever to spy on each other and have little if anything to do with government).  The second part of this argument has a segway likewise.  Given that we can spy on each other more readily has darker implications here, and this is, that we can logistically mobilize more readily and easily in terms of behavioral pattern identifications.  If we've secretly attached a GPS transmitter to a given victims car, or that we've somehow made use in accessing their coordinate position through a given smartphone, one might now where to do the stalking or make predictive guessing as to where someone might be headed, whom they might be meeting with.  Whereas before, the educated guessing might require a bit more dirty work, such as having someone privately on the ground monitoring someone's whereabouts, and figuring where they might be headed, requiring both stationary and moving forms of surveillance (e.g., following with car or being stationed in a nearby house/apartment for surveillance) costs time and money.  On the other hand where private surveillance means, neither having to live in proximity to an individual, means less cost, and adds to the predictive staging element of social theater when and where it may occur.  This means if a group can know where you might be and when you might be, the weekend warriors (yes, some of these individuals should likely one should guess have some sort of place in life, or a disparaging ratio of 120:1 is very large orchestration for an assembled task of accomplish exactly what...hard to imagine except in the most rare circumstance that any large group of individuals would be paid for exactly the lifestyle to harass just one individual...so you might suspect that they were making rounds in social theater) that they generally might be or easier to co opt for a given social commune at a given time using the sorts of technologies that have allowed them to make predictive guessing as to your whereabouts more likely known.

    Of course, the elements which have conspired against any victim self admittedly, the most populated of social theater that I had witnessed were likely handfuls of individuals (when walking in a more predictive manner everyday or thereabouts in a given locality when I had done that).  When I removed some sort of social predicative element out of this equation and resumed walking in that same given locality, I noticed little or none activity, and I generally remained unresponsive to social behaviors of this type.  Secondly if it weren't electronic surveillance in the house, keeping private information private means neither yielding it readily on social networking sites where guess work could be provided (as stated in a posting before), a recent social theater drop tried to suggest something but likely were yielded from information revealed through social networking sites (someone somewhere that I knew likely said something...or it didn't have to come through surveillance or "mind reading" to make such an inference).   Thirdly, and while I wouldn't suffer saying this as I never attend larger scale social events, like sporting, musical, and so forth, it maybe the impetus of any groups such as these to form a collective in a way at events such as these primarily because of having for that reason alone logistical mobilization, manpower, show of strength, and so forth, to tout in engaging in psych ops style tactics.  Keep in mind while 120 persons sounds like a lot, there are 300 million in this country alone, and that the vast majority in many areas are not engaged in this sort of behavior, but collectively it takes a very small fraction of well organized groups of individuals to do the sorts of behaviors which create the illusion of numbers, creates the illusion of commanding something larger scale then it potentially may be in reality.   A few guards to control a prison, a camp, and/so forth.  The biggest problems that remain, however, are where do any of such persons belong:  what sort of walk in life, and how potentially any should have a given power that effects the outcome of legal recourse, one should imagine.

    The bad news in the way, is that when political operandi appears to be in sway (e.g., lame duck president that is taking heat for past policy making) and opportunism is sensed by it, it seems more plausible to me that the risk assessments and motivations move accordingly for all the political stunts and charades that are presently happening...did I say that the UK were seeing an increase in hate crimes (and that is overseas)?!  Supposedly the pretense is the implicit green light that may be yielded.  If a death of a legally immigrated Ecuadoran in a small New York town, created some manner of mobilization as a backlash to any given hate crime, it seems that it takes hopefully people standing up and saying something about it...which incidentally is what apparently did happen in the New York case (see the PBS documentary Not in our Town).

   In the future, if concern and awareness of surveillance and eavesdropping is on the incline, it may be acknowledged more mainstream, the possibility that people self described as "targeted individuals" receive the recognition deserved legally for what they are as victims.  Part of the problem is in my opinion a crime of an organized social nature, it is also likely a complex sociological problem as well.  I'd mention there have been large cities having past scandals, by the way, with crooked cops involved with organized crime outfits, and someday if proven, hopefully any law enforcement involved are removed.  I was thinking of the film American Gangster where the role of a given detective played by Russell Crowe appears to be hopelessly doomed with respect to any headway given in gaining ground on detective work on a mob boss case.  Here the big issues being corruption and influence so saturated in a given local police force that the detective's work appears next to impossible, but somehow in the plot he manages to keep going.  It seems that while the stories derivative were given to real events and people, likely a lot of fiction to be served, not that real life examples don't already exist today or having existed in the past, or in other words, there is likely truth at times, when potential corruption is so high that juries may be hooded, or that courts are operated with higher levels of secrecy and shielding anonymity to combat social retributions and fear that could be pervasive when organized crime systems have become widely pervasive and strongly influential to inhibiting legal justice systems.  Eventually things change in legal systems, despite money, power, and social influences.  Something to hope for at least.  Leaving off on a bit of the informal ramble on this one, and returning to the subject matter, while in many ways the type of social crime suggested as with Gang stalking may in essence not be entirely new, the morphology of the social crime characteristics themselves may be entirely different relative to the types of crimes having been found in the past.  Of course, when new types of social crimes arise, it may take time for legal systems to acknowledge and catch up likewise in providing new laws in dealing with such offenses and also providing proper training to law enforcement officials in handling cases such as these.  If laws don't, on the other hand, exist in properly addressing it potentially means in appropriate potential handling of those victimized (in so far as legal recourse) as well as poorer handling in so far as prosecution of criminal cases.  A recent small segment documentary in a small town in Illinois, I remember, covered the issue of poor police handling over the course of decades of crime in general, where, for instance, any number of rape cases where left as cold ones.  Much of this likely due to budgetary problems, not enough law enforcement officials trained, or improperly trained in general handling and followup.  Something to keep in mind here likewise.

Who and what may be behind targeting people here in America?  Unfortunately I return to what could only seem more unsettling as speculation.  For the examples that I've mentioned of hate crimes above, one's sense of who and exactly groups of people are defined in this context, parallels more likely how a former vice president Dick Cheney viewed in his own words a known terrorist group, namely, using the words, 'Assymetrical' threat.  Groups of individuals such as these might not be directed in clear organizational patterns, or that is the sense that one might have if following reports of incident, however, more episodic and prominent that these appear given to general popular media.  But as I've posted briefly in mentioning, for instance prominent religious right in the context of recent influences in the passing of legislation in Africa pertaining to anti homosexual laws (to the extent of making a given crime punishable by life in prison....more shocking to see these same 'Christian' advocating for the death penalty for homosexuals over there), we'd know that tangibly social movements are there.    While it may be difficult to link for all we know more isolated groups of individuals, to much else, the pattern and behavioral rise, I argue may not be happenstance, as had been suggested in the PBS documentary, Not In Our Town, its not exactly isolated, but at times fed in times through messaging, however, subtle or otherwise.  If perception on the matter of politics were threshold in such a way, the messages, however, subtle seem to suggest that a social traffic control type system is perceived, that is a perception that may not exactly be true, when conservatives or liberals alike are elected, that alliances potentially is perceived in the subtle ways that widespread belief or anger on an issue, makes right behaviors that would be overlooked even if they were once perceived as criminal, or bringing to the surface, the perception by individual(s) alike that their anger is a shared one, that they are unified by it, and that it is the same one...or in other words a message: might makes right.  The problem with sameness, I imagine is completely overlooked, an unsettled teenager's mind at such a time, might scarcely consider in the same ways the implications of actions relative to an aged population of people, or at least that they may be more likely unhinged owing to problems of maturity.  The problem is that these sorts of behaviors may not only be relegated to teenager's but adults alike.
    There is also another implication to this when the social phenomenon has arisen, where groups of people have been allowed to engage in the sorts of behavior en masse that hadn't existed where laws neither provide self protected social existences, and it is exactly that, it takes law enforcement, legislation, recognition of, and so much more at times to deal with problems.  If the problems of Rwanda were highlighted, not by the at times false perceptions generated in Western media (generally a false racist one relating to something like incidental tribalism gotten way violently out of hand), it were that a lot of ignoring were done by bureaucrats,  politicians, and their a given local media, alongside with organization having taken place by military (and subsidiary paramilitary groups).  Much were ignored, overlooked, while machetes were being handed out to a certain populace of peoples.  If the same could be true in this country here, its that we hold ourselves to a level of ignorance with respect to a given social problem, feed the hate channels of media with more subtle messaging as a tool for resonating violence and likewise directing it logistically, and then lastly ensuring that people are armed and logistically put in the right places at the right times for coordinated mobilization...ostensibly leading the army that 'doesn't really exist'.  Sure it bought Rwanda generals and leaders then a temporary excuse but, yes, it hadn't meant that the trail went cold on the investigation and followup having confirmed high level war crimes having occurred and international prosecution for those alike.  The biggest issues here in the U.S., its not a case of Free Speech alone in protecting social behaviors that attempt to the 'fan the flames' through social resonance of a given populace, and that constitutional laws were merely drawn for the purpose of shielding abominable behavior, but then I'd remind its more then just the 'water tap' faucet of media outlets bearing responsibilities here.  The face of those doing the targeting are not at times easy to see or discern, in theory at least I imagine in so far as a Western society that has enough complexity behind, so that horrific civil liberties depriving laws are passed in societies that transition in night and day type vacillations?!  At least, one hadn't imagined that ghettos would suddenly appear over night where they once hadn't existed, and the radio dj on local radio effectively talking about the populace of 'bugs' in a given neighborhood (not really speaking as entomologist here, or really about insects) could be in time yanked off the air here in the U.S.  These groups of people may suffer from the inherent problems of a complex societal fabric which is sustainability, where they might most typically use backdrop of economic downturns, rise in joblessness to suit their agenda, as had been the perception in times past, it were no coincidence that East Germany still to this day describes potential social differences between the perception of the Berlin Wall and the old social systems surrounding it.  Where economic malaise and long term problems in a given population had given way to knew less chartered territories of freedoms, hate groups suddenly pop up, and the self evident view that western decline and disenfranchisement were one and the same for an often perceived neglect.   The faces of the gang stalking perpetrators, whenever and where ever they exist here in America, are a dilute one, they potentially look like you and I in everyday street clothes, except that they seem to be acting at times by choreography and social script, I've seen enough to where I've felt there were an inset logic behind social behaviors:  like get rid of that person out of this job, we aren't drawing the sort of reaction that we want and need, time to move on to other places.  They might not have the appearances of attending the same church, or really saying the same things, and not even blandly uniform in the same social ways, for instance, liking anything of set literature, arts, culture, or anything of this type...they could claim to like 'new grass' (humored by this one)...sadly a whole South by Southwest Austin, TX phenomenon(?), but scarcely know a thing about Old bluegrass?   They might have known enough about experimental music and things like circuit bending, or at least feigning interests there, or in other words, such a person could appear to share similar backgrounds to anyone, if they had enough social inferences to put themselves into a given position.   Another incident one could recall, of the supposed once 'black hat' guest speaker, whom informally shown up for a computing meet up social whom might have appeared in some ways like another wall flower, a sort thin person that'd look like any other geek...he'd merely drop that he had worked with security relating to Linux computing systems...and (lo and behold!) you were probably one of the few that actually bothered much with Linux in that room (everyone there were using MAC s...more humor).   Of course it didn't help that I have self publications on this blog series for a rather juvenile looking secret Annie decoder ring python encryption/decryption hashing technique, or that somewhere down the line in a previous relationship, I likely had all sorts of silly little profile hits (e.g., Jewelry design...at least with the ex...you know bomb making equipment...moving to a new area of the country without really having so many social contacts like others that you knew while neither having an inkling in so far as to what those others might be doing really...and that by the way were entirely coincidental as I am sure the NSA would directly know themselves...) but it seems that what Snowden coined as the loss in freedom for creativity.  That a whole multitude of things could be suspicious enough.   The face of those perpetrators could be the pot smoker that you know (and sadly I laugh because it sounds like the sort of dialogue you'd hear from a former vice president).  They might have the training of rent a cops, people drafted with little training, little back ground in handling social situations in certain ways, and generally neither consequent for this reason given to the same answer of accountability that would be typified in law enforcement and other legal channels, and sadly enough you might as easily encounter these types nearest to shopping malls, or public spaces of this type, having had likely its own set of privately contracted security.  Your sense might be that they have little clear role in security, however, or that just as likely one were encountering groups that were engaged in some form of unaccounted for 'power trip', and merely serving hostility for that intimidating sake alone, they could hardly be characterized as a law enforcement group or securities related group here, not even operatives engaged in theater to flush out and prevent something actionable that were sensed in the clearest intel sense of the word, showing more in the operations sense of the word juvenile behaviors which feigned cloak and dagger like roles, of unaccounted for and an untrained peoples.  And then you might have faced an old Cold War CIA financial manipulations tactics that were served more to the purpose of vendetta (for squelching speech), then in having worked for actionable intelligence gathering tools.  Which left me wondering at least in this attempted portrait, exactly who and what these people might look like...and the daunting prospect were that it could be decades only before we know a definitive history of what groups of people might have been involved in the targeting of innocent Americans.

Re linking information.  I was thinking of this movie Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese.  Again the theme of ambiguity between is he crazy or is he sane?

The my story section reads for this link is a pretty sick story.  Sadly, if you asked me whether any of that sort of crap were possible years before, I'd say, unbelievable, or sounds like something written entirely for fiction, or the person were not really sane.   By the way I'd say my personal story, while much more tame, includes some of the street theater, and other crap.

Honestly, not really in a professional position to tell, whomever were running this particular blog site, where to go, and exactly what to do in these cases.  Not easy to skip out of town on a moments notice, for instance, and likely while it may be that amnesty cases are granted in the case of neighboring country to the north.  Technically though there maybe some safe havens somewhere in the States...at least, your story is quite extreme relative to mine in many ways, but then it has been always an easy thing to contend with at times.

I've found limiting social contact a big plus (but then I've kept this generally limited always)...sad that you should have to be in a position to vouch safe people that you don't know so well, but its probably a very good idea.  Generally in my experience when you see the sorts of pointed synchronicity, a lot of it while generally harmless (to me at least), but its probably a good idea when you see the behaviors going on to keep distance yourself from those sorts of perpetrators.  I should mention also to those engaged in the behavior for as long as this has been going on...really up to now, I should mention where I've seen the behavior, and I've seen it much...it belongs likely to a real class of amateurs.  :)  One because often times the amount of resources I could imagine spent in the process of creating events, and the likely dividends received, which generally are small enough.  Most synchronicity that I've seen staged are the sort of hit and run causal ones by the way...meaning they are generally fleeting ones (street theater that is organized for that moment in the day but leave the scene and don't really much effort there...likely one would gather they've been maximizing for the digital age where it were a lot easier as opposed to putting feet on the ground doing idiotic work such as this from what I can tell).  The other form of it is where they actors put themselves in positions (e.g., jobs, or possibly in the home...doesn't work so well in my home any more for em).  So if you cut off the potential dividends...yeah, may be better after all to say You Can Take This Job And Shove It....that was the 70s for you.  Finally you may make less predictable some other things, like always going out to such and such at such and such time...I can't claim that I weren't predictable in my own ways, but I can also live like a bear in his hibernation cave if need be.

relinked from Google US News headlines.

The problem I think this problem is not only extended to public spheres but also private ones as well.
I've said before technology could be the primary culprit for this, if it weren't easy enough now to find social spheres revealing through social networking information about your private lives (whether accidental or not), it is much easier for anyone, even private individuals/groups to spy on one's activities and whereabouts.  The larger the number of individuals in a social context also yields greater likelihood that someone may know something about any particular intention otherwise.  A birthday party, for instance, where someone says online he so and so is having a birthday, providing some estimable calculation that someone in a given social group related to so and so, is likely to be in attendance.  Social networking is really in many ways an anathema to personal privacy, especially today where some networking sites neither provide or at least have provided privacy to posting in general.  If decades ago, the practicality and legalities aspect of private surveillance and information gathering about information were a concern, today looking people up through social networking or blog (such as this ) makes it only that much more cheap and free...or in other words, it is apparently easier then ever in most cases, to engage in surveillance.

   While in the past I believe I've mentioned the novel "The Light of Other Days", another twist on an emergent Orwellian dystopia, it points to something of another possibility concerning social evolution of our culture...that is, if we weren't there to bludgeon one another into a social conformity and subservience, we might instead enter into a phase, where we are more numbed to the social experiences of others (could care less what others think and do)...of course, this could be an asset given that it makes it harder for anyone person/government/social institutions, so forth to drive social dogmas at any given time, but that also the normative nature of culture might change with it...for instance, where people see more arbitrarily the nature of personal law.

It seems in this day and age to me, and this were wholly personal view, that at times this emerging 'Big Brother' society vacillates paradoxically between apathy and a tool for social bludgeon, then it ever has.  Don't get me wrong I don't sympathize with high paid stars of reality television (as if we need more already to peer into the supposedly private lives of others) that speak openly and publicly to the extent of their particular religious views which digress from religious to personal ones, its the often the quieter lives that are more likely hurt by surveillance/spying.  While on the one hand, that any social campaign is popular waged for the sake anti-bullying, the bullying is being waged, and in its supposed defense everything from Freedom of Speech (there again, a mega star likely to be picked up elsewhere, not likely to lose his job, his livelihood, his freedom, or generally be blacklisted?!  jailed, falsely accused ), or that political correctness were such a problem otherwise, while people literally suffer for any given view and were wholly law abiding?  And how does the problem of Big Brother relate to political correctness and freedom of speech in so far as the defense of the destruction of lives (either in attempt or otherwise), false witness, character assassination, distortions, and utter contempt for personal privacy?

Great movie worth a watch lately called 'The Secret Lives of Others'.  Set in then East Germany prior to the falling of the Berlin wall late 80s early 90ish?!  Film focuses centrally on a Stasi agent, and then playwright and his partner.  Film reminds of the practicalities that apply even where societies have been supposedly more 'closed' in nature, rarely true even, for instance, in ancient Sparta that internal/external exchanges aren't a reality.  Even the most dogmatic/patriotic are human likewise.  Given the probable statistics of information, the volume of peoples working in intelligence gathering, and all the problems that may occur, its not a coincidence that a whistle blower comes forward ensuring revelations of truth are given in time.  One just hopes its sooner rather then later.

Sorry I missed out on this whole theory, as the likes of me at times could be suggested much of the time falsely attributed to the underpinnings of why the right lean more right or excuse others for that purpose alone.  These sorts of movements remind me of why contingent polarization gravitates in this manner, that the purpose of reform economically means that necessarily the social spheres must be abiding (why in Egypt apparently the hookahs are less commonplace on the beach), but of all times one gets to hear these sorts of attitudes, never mind the lot of em' blacklisting if not engaged in social baiting or anything else that apparently goes with it, and generally mindful  to the thought that the most egregious of crap out there has little to do with consensual sex between grown adults.  What I see more suspiciously in the nature of an op-ed such as this, backwater stagnant flow as usual that runs its course ever several years, you know, the same that supposedly co opted the second Bush re election and mustered a "I tried" to change our constitution and worldly perception at that, standing room legacy then found at one time majority Republican's in charge for economic collapse.  No an Icelandic resort to this address is more like a Greek one, sadly given enough corruption, point a gun elsewhere.

As a side note: I see the usual fantastic secret police running the rounds of mall cop security in Anaheim overtly not at Disneyland or there about in general, but at a small satellite mall?!  Is that really a joke?!  :)

     Recent Fox news television Geraldo Rivera interviews Jame Wendell 'Most Accomplished Gamer' (from Kansas City...as if you really needed to know this personal bit of code and all) and the NSA international securities proponent for Game spying, discuss recent WoW and other MMO spying allegations,  neither side addresses or at least implicitly seems to dismiss/diminish the extent of claims given by Snowden documents, but nevertheless called a 'joke' albeit being potentially one of many tactic employed by spying agencies.  I'd still raise the question of 'just how saturated is the "joke" in game'?  Or much the problem that for all one could tell, they are the problem baiting to raise problems that don't really exist, and/or paid to distort statistical truths merely for self serving reasons?  Everything sounds reasonable if it weren't the job and duty of cherry picking, and then it wouldn't surprise me if there were populations saturating a given game being yet another way to get paid?!  And then big brother is there to protect us from ourselves, or one grand baby sitting/bullying job?!

Present happenings...

    Recent ideas and where generally going, or if it seems aimless, likely in a way it is with some direction.

    I hadn't imagined myself in another office environment doing something clerical by nature, but I took the opportunity to apply since this were what I did before even if I hadn't formally worked in a job like this for several years.  While I've hobbied around music and sound synthesis in terms of creations, I've wanted to take a break from this...same for programming.  Although I considered briefly...amusing myself with this possible career field...getting some sort of portable scanning device (you know supermarket handheld price check scanners), and delving into a bit of database programming (SQL) for uploading Amazon used book marketplace prices for used book marketplace salvaging...although I hadn't originally seen an article on the matter (in Slate) on this subject matter, I later found that I weren't the only one whom had this idea.  Which should amount to hopping to garage sales, thrift stores, and the like for resell opportunities.   While it seems other possibilities such as free book donations, could exist, but generally would work better if I had set up shop in more old fashioned brick and mortar confines.  Anyways, sort of studied the idea, but compared to the Slate articles author's city, mine were smaller, and it would seem even in Kansas City there collector hounds all over the place (found this to be true for LP/vinyl at least)?!  Anyways, might provide small income supplementation...Then I've managed to consider digitizing a personal library (personal use only).  Actually not as bad as thought it might be, although it might be nice to have some sort of personal scanner bot setup cheaply enough to flip the pages of a book, Amazon's created apparently flight based delivery drones, why not something like this (if it hadn't already existed on the cheap).  Adobe Acrobat Pro provides nice scanned image to portable document file conversions in batch...which would nicely take a folder of images and process theses (interpreting text, auto page rotating, and so forth) in batch, reducing leg work of creating an e book.  You can do pdf to ebook reader conversions using another program called Calibre (mentioned this in the past).  Sort of wanted to do this for music books since, tablets are now getting cheaper and larger screened, and eventually would like to be able to replace physical paper with a decent sized tablet for electronic reading of sheet music.  Also had the ambition of setting up a database for given sheet music, categorizing by key, artist, song, genre and so forth.  Mostly interested in the idea of creating random set lists of songs, and then given that over the years, tunes are buried in now fairly large sheet music stacks.  My memory isn't so keen for titles at times here.  On the upside with little scanning work experience, managed to scan in a 135 page songbook in less then an hour, and get this compiled into a rough draft pdf e book version in less then one hour (Acrobat).  I spent another hour and half or more getting pages formatted (including crops, page image re size, and so forth).  The book is a still a bit crude looking (as in light discolorations, especially difficult since today working with glossy paper seemed to force me into grey scale imaging as opposed to black and white, even with high contrast settings, and grey scale manages to leave all sorts of light tonal variations on any given  page image).  Still all of this weren't as much work as I thought it might be.   Sort of excited since I have some old out of print stuff falling apart at that the seams literally, that I'd like to have stored digitally.  As to other job/hobby/pursuit interests...not really sure where I might be going from here...
