The Bachelor Rewinds The Tape On The Culture Of The Primary Season.  It's late July now, but it was back in June when the Heir heard about all the primary declarations, and we all collectively looked back at The Last Meaningful Election Ever 2004 for guidance as to how to look at Primaries now.  The Heir wonders what Presidential Exploratory Committee is in tok pisin, and he has decided now to be against stem cell research just because, since it's no longer a current election issue.  He also expresses bemusement at the notion that swift boating could ever have been the main reason why Stalwart Two lost in an election already riddled with irregularities, or that it was necessarily a big deal now that Impulsive might have smuggled an audio device into a debate so he can get answers to tough questions.  Naomi and Leeanna also expressed annoyance with me the Mentor and the Heir as men for (allegedly) avoiding the subject of that special piercing some women have, just because NHS now considers such women "mutilated."  We really don't see why they'd be annoyed with us though, if we do say so.  On Audio (Play All) @ https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

The Heir contrasts the Guy Fawkes Mask Wearers who claimed to have caused the Wall Street computer problem with the concept of the Alex Delarge Mask Wearers, who while presently non-existent, the Heir fantasizes as coming out now anywhere the Guy Fawkes Mask Wearers are protesting, and the Alex Delarges counter-demonstrate on the Guy Fawkeses even if they did as much as cough.  The Alex Delarges would hold signs saying, "It's Our Country Too!" @ #alexdelargemaskwearers #itsmycountrytoo #nationalprinciple

Very remotely related to the audio portion of the Third Pillar, the Heir sees great promise in emerging White Space tech for the Internet.  Though he's wary of the possibility of unintended consequences, he also believes it'll revolutionize mobiles in terms of cost to both the consumer and the environment.  He sees contract broadband with mobile as wasteful and not very responsible.  So it was a joy for him to read about how an indigenous society in California is adopting White Space partly because they believe impact on culturally sensitive environmental areas will be minimal.  One of these fine days, the Heir hopes, White Space will make its way to Bachelor Blue State, both densely populated and materialistic, and possibly the last state to adopt White Space.  California’s Yurok Tribe Takes Advantage of White Spaces Technology @ http://www.radioresourcemag.com/newsArticle.cfm?news_id=7126

Now that the Confederate Flag is increasingly toxic, and now that the Greek referendum voted against further austerity, the Heir thinks the Southern rebels have a sufficient enough stand-in:

"Hey, hey, hey!  I was born a rebel."

Don't think mob justice doesn't work, people!  Heir found this online along with half the world's online population: Car illegally parked in handicapped zone get covered in post-its @ https://youtu.be/k-jJ4uq8TWk

Heir was in for the day today, because of lower 70s temps and chances of showers.  But we still didn't continue on the upcoming Bachelor episode.  Heir did almost everything else he meant to do.  He's lazy, doesn't want to do a Bachelor episode he can continue working on Monday.  But he's got his stuff packed for tomorrow, for him and me the Mentor to go with Lucinda and Yumeka to that beach conformant with their preferred dress code.

Here's a cool radio the Heir saw on YouTube.  He likes the vinyl-ish texture, as well as the double-mat speaker grille.  The shortwave band can be swapped out for the weather band, and with an aux band button swapping out the tone knob on top, and he's got something to bring with him to that beach that's conformant with Carmen's preferred dress code.  He'll have to re-watch the video to see whether the carry handle gets in the way of the buttons.  1960 Sudfunk @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ570UrhdSs
