    Much too little, and way way too late

    by  • 11/30/2008 • music • 2 Comments

    Last week I had off from work, and I have another week of idolatry idleness ahead. I received a big box of CDs, and what better way to spend an afternoon than ripping and listening to a bunch of new acquisitions? Best addition to my file server was that second DVD drive that I salvaged [...]

    A rare accomplishment

    by  • 11/30/2008 • humor • 1 Comment

    Have you ever done something so unusual that you honestly believe that you might have been the one to discover something completely unknown? Perhaps you have discovered a new method of doing something that shaves hours off the way you used to do it? Maybe you have injured yourself in a way that caused all [...]

    A Jew, Four Atheists, and a table full of shellfish

    by  • 11/19/2008 • life • 0 Comments

    Sounds something like the opening to a joke that plays on cultural stereotypes, but it’s nothing of the sort. This is the story of Penn Jillette and his cohorts hosting the final step in the deconversion of a former Orthodox Jew; complete with shellfish, plenty of pork, and of course, the Kosher Buster itself; the [...]

    The Onion on Obama Supporters

    by  • 11/9/2008 • humor, video • 0 Comments

    Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are I saw this linked from Dan Piraro’s blog (Artist behind the comic Bizarro). One of the comments left there was apparently someone who can’t see the humour in the situation. Seriously; if you’re ever in need of affirmation that some people go a [...]

    Posts From The Past

    Every so often I remember something interesting that I wrote, or I happen to search google for something and end up finding something I wrote right at the top of the results… Today, I started out on the current US Ambassador to Canada‘s web site and his silly claims regarding the Northwest Passage, and I [...]

    Two birds with one stone of truth

    Here’s what we need to do with the 9/11 Truthers that keep bringing up the “Steel couldn’t have melted at these temperatures! Conspiracy!”; we need to conduct an experiment with them and lay this issue to rest for good. We’ll build a relatively small steel cage structure to support a 10 tonne concrete block 10 [...]

    Yearning to wed free

    I’m sure that many people will recognize this inscription, and know where it may be found, and in which civil liberties loving nation it exists. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my [...]

    Dear Bush Republicans

    by  • 11/5/2008 • politics • 2 Comments

    I’ve seen the chatter on the Fox News boards, amid the disgusting levels of racism and judgment passed off as religion. There’s been talk of moving to Canada in the lead up to the election, and in the hours since the fate was decided against Jesus Himself. It’s almost like these people have forgotten the [...]

    American Presidential History

    by  • 11/4/2008 • politics • 0 Comments

    Well, Fox News has something right on their front page today; no mater who wins this election, it’ll be a first; either there will be a non-white president for the first time, or there will be both the oldest white man elected president along with the first ever female vice president. Either would be a [...]
