Know Your 5th Amendment Rights

Jesse Petersen — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 12:44:47 +0000

I’ve placed two parts of a law class lecture below that provide a perfect illustration and explanation about what the 5th Amendment is about and why it is in place. It is in place to protect you. Nothing you say to law enforcement or the government in a criminal investigation can be used to help you. It can only be used against you in an effort to prosecute you.

This is very important. Don’t think that you’ll never be questioned by police because you’re a good person living a good life. My wife and her entire office were questioned a couple of years ago by a SWAT team just because of where they worked, so no one can say with certainty that they will never be questioned by the law or government.

I’ll come out and say that the first man comes out of the chute sounding like a political wacko with a couple of his first statements, but he fully and completely supports everything he says and the second man (an officer with 28 years of interviewing experience) confirms everything the first man said, so keep that in mind when you hear the first man’s fast-paced lecture.

This was very, very eye-opening to me. You can safely ignore the title of the video. The other compilation of this lecture was in 6 parts and entitled “In Praise of the 5th Amendment.”

Harry Reid: American Taxation is a Voluntary System

Just in case you were still on the fence about liberal democrats and their thinking, this may change your mind. Remember: “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the–if he–if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not–that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement…” Classic, that’s a master speaking.

Here’s another esteemed colleague of the house of Democrats:

Effective Marketing Method: Grossness

Although gross, this is still Safe for Work viewing. This is Australia’s new advertising campaign to promote the flu shot since we are fast approaching their autumn flu season.

I saw this for the first time Sunday and was pretty sure my knee was red from slapping it. I know my face was red from laughing. Enjoy!

Life As a Freelancer and Consultant – The Good and Bad

Jesse Petersen — Sat, 30 May 2009 03:08:06 +0000

There are far more perks to being a small business owner than downsides, in my opinion. I can take a day and sluff off if I don’t feel well or need to run errands. Doctor’s appointments were always making me have to make up my hours when I was an employee, but forget that life now.

For me, the two worst parts (and really the only bad parts about my line of work) of a job are:

Getting to the estimate part of the deal and waiting for either a) death by shock, b) complete rejection and instant counter-offer (sheeah, that works), or c) an elated new client
Finishing the work and shooting out the invoice with a nice “thank you” in the “notes” field and see what comes of it

Thus far my experience has been overwhelmingly positive with only one non-payer who will get their site unlocked once they pay, one who seems to continually misunderstand the scope of the project and wants $3000 worth of work for $800, and one who offered me baby clothes as an exchange for my skills. I’m still in the early stages of figuring out my billing and deposit system, since I don’t think many of my clients quite feel comfortable with a full-prepay for jobs under $3000 yet, but I do insist on my first hour of consulting and site work for new clients ahead of time and have great results with that by billing exact time after that first hour.

Here is a video that will really make you empathize with freelancers everywhere:

Don’t Be Stupid: Avoid the World’s Hottest Pepper

Jesse Petersen — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:55:26 +0000

I have to get you to click Play on this video, so here is what to expect: a bearded, seemingly normal man goes about explaining that the pepper he is about to eat is the world’s hottest pepper. He is prepared with a full glass of milk. Two minutes later, the milk doesn’t work. Fifteen minutes after ingestion, the ice cream doesn’t work. Seventeen minutes after committing his dumbest act ever, he is contemplating going to the E.R.

A Little Christmas Treat

Jesse Petersen — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 16:23:06 +0000

I grew up with quite a few choir and band concerts each year, with our favorites being the ones at Christmas and at the end of the year when everyone was at their best. A friend sent this one to me and I melted back into my old love of organized music.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Male Restroom Etiquette

Jesse Petersen — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:10:20 +0000

Anyone else get tired of poor social etiquette? I’m most perterbed about the stuff that goes on in the men’s restroom. No, I’m not talking about foot tapping and hook-ups. I can walk right back out if that’s going on. It’s the unavoidable stuff that freaks me out. There are rules, men! Watch this video. Study it. Memorize it. Obey it.

The very facbric of society depends on it. (Video after the click)
