I hope you all like the new logo, at the top of this blog. It is not the most amazing thing, but it is nicer than what was previously here.
I spent much of the day creating new banners, mostly for sub-blogs over on Our Love Frontier…but, The “Diamond Raw” Project has also been given a new banner.
I will be making more inductions here, when I get some free time…
All the best!

A Very Early EQF “Teaser” Video – Living the Life
This was a “teaser” video, that I uploaded to YouTube, to announce the forthcoming of my videos.
“…Living the Life…”, was the slogan I chose, though did not use afterwards.
The relevance, is that I was speaking as someone, who is living the life, of a pedosexual.
This is reality…not the typical trash talk, that you run into.
All the best…

This one goes back a ways…
This was recorded, the day following my BlogSpot account being locked…
…which occurred, after a several day [couple week?] rampage, by someone on “the blogger team”, who had stooped to the wholesale harassment of me. They were deleting my blogs, blatantly for no valid reason. They were making false implications, that I had been violating BlogSpot’s terms of service…yet, completely failing to clarify, just exactly how or where I was allegedly violating them.
I contend, to this day, that this member [and perhaps others] of “the blogger team”, is a bold faced liar, behaving in a grossly unprofessional, abusive manner, towards myself.
I repeatedly reached out to “the blogger team”, since long before this targeted abuse even started, to make it known that I wanted no problems, and was willing to work with them in order to avoid any such problems…I received cold silence, all along…just a few form letters, is all they ever sent.
I contacted them several times, asking for clarification, as to how I was allegedly “violating” their terms of service…
…Till this day [three plus years later], they have never had the bare bones decency, to respond…
Silly me…I reached out for assistance, just to find that a sociopath was on “the blogger team”.
There is actually plenty more that could be said, aside from what is contained here [and I may eventually release all details]…but, I thought this would be a good piece of media to release, to help chronicle the abusive treatment of BlogSpot administration…and my exodus from BlogSpot.
A few notes:
I don’t recall exactly where I was going to release this at, as I’d not yet opened the EQF website, nor a YouTube account to post this at…but, I’d intended on putting it online…I just got sidetracked, and this got shelved.
This is also just a good piece, because it touches on what I was doing at BlogSpot, and my motives behind it.
The reference to “absolutely nothing united”, is in reference to a group blog, that I briefly took up blogging on. It is now known as attractedtochildren.org.
Let this be a “character reference”, to the abusive, and grossly unprofessional quality of service you can expect from BlogSpot.
I’ve happily moved on, and found much better services, since.
All the best…

I had to recode this at a substantially lower bit rate than I prefer, to get it down to the size limit [25 MB] which blog.com imposes…Otherwise, I’d have had to cut this into two files, which was more work than I was feeling up to, tonight.
At 56 kbps, this is still very much acceptable, however.
A bit about this file, and it’s content:
The Culture Shock Podcast: Episode 01 from January 20th, 2008.
This was the pilot episode of “EQ Audios Culture Shock Podcast”, and remains the sole episode, produced and released. It was more an experiment in “what can be done”, than a commitment to move forward with this style of a show.
Like so many of my other projects, I sometimes refer to this as a “prototype”, because I was [and still am, in some regards] feeling my way around, and trying to discover what works best for me…and the audience, also [of course].
It got fairly good response, but it was only released on YouTube, and through a few other, obscure places online.
I mostly just wanted to produce an example show, and exhibit my potential…to get some feedback, and find out whether there was any interest in this kind of production.
The subject matter, is what seemed to be an obvious road to go down, at the time this was recorded. The big Blogspot fiasco was several months in the past, and some jerk on YouTube was flaunting and taunting, the fact that a lot of us got screwed over by Blogspot. They even created a taunting video, defacing the blogs of several different people [two of the blogs featured, were my own]…So, naturally, this became a de facto response to that, contemptuous video…
Of course, the gutless wonder I attached this as a response to, never had the bare bones decency [or integrity], to approve this response…So, most people who watched their tripe, never got to learn the true history, behind what was going on…and, they just continued to lie to people, making up whatever they liked along the way.
Given the very long amount of time, in which they could have approved…it became obvious, they could not deal with having to actually answer for anything they had done…and, they just refused to acknowledge it.
Cannot take the heat, when exposed to truth, apparently….which is not surprising, at all.
No matter…I hope you enjoy listening to this modest production…and feel free to let me know what you think of it.
All the best…

Nothing is really here, at the moment, but this is going to be a place, to archive various, expressional content…like the file below, and other forms of media…
