You ever have so much you want to do your head is going to explode?

I'm building another Chaotic Computer to act as a media server in my home. I want to build more of those and possibly look to sell them, in sort of a custom OCC kinda way.

I want to make more cartoons. They're fun. If you've never seen my toonage - The Administration, Promo 1, Promo 2, and Promo 3. I have some more cartoons plotted in my head, but it takes time to do all the writing, art, animation, etc. Plus I'd need some people to do voice work, since I want to do more than just short promos.

I want to do more work on this site. There's a bunch of things I want to change and add and whatnot, but it all takes time.

Then there's a program I want to write for the PC to manage stuff, but I don't know Visual Basic, so I'd have to learn that then write the software.

And let's not forget my other addicitions, like video games. Current time wasters: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Buffy DVD Box Sets.

And let's not forget that I have a full time job too. There's so much to do and so little time to do it all.

I was reading some articles on Slashdot about content theft and it annoyed me.

The first article was from Wired, where it talks about blogs. It seems that the major bloggers will look at the blogs of less popular/less visted blogs and steal the content for their own, without crediting the original authors.

The second article is about website thieves who copy the content from a website and host a copy on their own servers, but changing the ads to ones that the thieves sold.

I know how hard it is to build/create/update sites, and this is just awful. Someone puts all their hard work into something, only to find it stolen by someone else so they can profit off of it. There's nothing wrong with building off of other's people's work, but those other people need to be able to get credit and profit off their own words, work and content. Look at Slashdot. Their entire site is based off of reporting the news reported on other sites, but they bring those other sites traffic and publicity.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks how wrong this is, to spend all those hours of work, only to see someone else steal it all and steal all potential profits. And on that note, I need another swig of Haterade.
