About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Spy Through Your Glasses

It's been a long weekend for me.
Sorry that I haven't written anything,
two out of the last four days.
I was at a Funeral.
When I was watching other guest at this Funeral I was attending,
since it was out-of-doors,
I noticed most attendees wearing sunglasses.
Maybe five years ago this wouldn't worry a person,
more like ten years ago,
but today,
you could be video taped by a sunglasses wearing weasel.
You have probably heard about
"Google Glasses,"
where you will be able to do just about anything your cell phone can,
including video recording,
on a pair of glasses.
The nice thing about
"Google Glasses"
is,
you can actually have your eye prescription filled,
using them as a pair of regular glasses!
Well,
"Google"
didn't come up with the idea of video recording glass wear,
it's been going on for awhile.
It's just that the technology has progressed along side of the release of
"Google Glasses."
Before,
you could see a wire coming from the end of the glasses going to a pocket,
or you could actually see the lens and microphone on either side of the glasses.
Now the technology has become so small you can't even tell if someone is using
"Spy Glasses,"
unless you look for a couple of signs. 
"Google"
makes it kind of obvious that someone is wearing their glasses.
They use the small rims to surround the glass,
but on one side of the glasses,
on one stem which wraps around an ear,
they attach all the hardware for the computer functions.
It is very noticeable.
Unlike video glasses,
made just to record sight and sounds,
the hardware is built into the stems
and frames surrounding the glass.
Most hide their hardware in the stem so the wearer can hide the bulk with their hair.
Another obvious clue is,
if someone is wearing their sunglasses everywhere they go.
Inside,
outside,
to public bathrooms,
or anywhere that seems a little strange that someone is wearing their sunglasses.
"Spy Glasses,"
as a general rule will be sunglasses,
which makes them cheaper to make and easier to sell.
Should you fear or worry about "Spy glasses?"
Are they really that prevalent?
Unlike
"Google Glasses,"
which sell today anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500,
you can find a pair of
"Spy Glasses"
selling for as low as $59.99,
plus cost of Memory.
For this pair of
"Glasses"
you can purchase,
through their company,
2GB of Memory for $16.99,
8GB for $29.99,
and 16GB for $46.99.
It uses a standard
Micro SD Card 
so you can actually find cheaper deals on Memory.
On the higher end,
just one of many brands out there,
there is a Company that sells a pair of
"Spy Glasses"
for $389.99
and has features like 64GB of Memory,
720p HD,
Weatherproof,
Anti-Shake Video Stabilization,
Date & Time Stamp,
Interchangeable Clear & Shaded Glass Wear,
USB Hookup to your Computer,
and you get the idea.
"Spy Glasses"
are dirt cheap and easy to use.
Under the
"Law"
the people wearing these glasses are supposed to inform you they are recording.
They cannot record someone under the age of 18 without the Parents permission.
They cannot record you if you tell them not to.
But,
that won't stop idiots from trying.
So,
the next time you see that
Guy or Gal
wearing a pair of large rimmed glasses in inappropriate places,
and won't take them off,
accidentally knock them off their face into a bowl of water.
If they scream,
they are little weasels,
if they don't,
swish them around in the water a little,
wipe them off,
and then say you are sorry.
Weatherproofing doesn't mean Waterproof!

This is,
The $1 A Pair Glasses Wearing,

 And,

"There will come a time when it isn't,
"They're spying on me through my phone"
 anymore. Eventually, it will be
"My phone is spying on me!"
- Phillip K. Dick -

 That' my story and I'm sticking to it!
