Who’s Fault Is It?
How sad is it that human natural always looks for something or someone to blame? We work so hard to prop ourselves up as gods, and when the true God comes to tear down our paper dreams, we need to rant to anyone who will listen how it’s not our fault, and therefore, it must […]

A History of Intolorance
“This was a central characteristic of progressive thought in the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth. From Darwin, who provided the scientific rationale for such racism, to Margaret Sanger and her ‘human weeds,’ to George Bernard Shaw and the eugenics craze, to Hitler’s final solution, progressives have a lot to answer for.

Google Earth New Orleans Overlay
I created an overlay of the satellite imagery from New Orleans. You need Google Earth, a free download, in order to be able to see it. It’s amazing stuff. UPDATE: I should have referenced my sources. I got the image from Digital Globe, via Digg.

Pat Robertson is a Liar
So, you all saw that news that Pat Robertson, former presidential candidate, and now impotent spokesmen for disillusioned dispensationals, had called for the assissination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Now, granted the U.S. doesn’t like the guy that much (Chavez, I mean), but after hitting the airwaves, the U.S. Federal government distanced themselves from Robertson […]

A Plea
Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words, That they may shoot in secret […]

Google Earth
I’m surprised I haven’t written anything about Google Earth yet, but I’ve only had a chance in the past two weeks to really play with some of the features. If your computer can support it, I strongly suggest you take the time to download and play with it. One of its coolest features is the […]

Sauce for the Goose…
Jonathan Schwartz, president and COO of Sun Microsystems, has written a very insightful post about a conversation he had with the CTO of a “big media company”. This CTO wanted Schwartz to support technology that would allow media companies to watermark digital media, and prevent thieves from stealing their content. This is the same technology […]

Whatever You Do, Don’t Think
Witness the idiocy of our public school system. Slashdot has the story of 13 Kutztown students who are facing felony charges for reconfiguring the laptops the school gave them. The student’s side of the story describes the administrator password taped to the back of the laptop. Now, I don’t feel like getting into a debate […]

Why I’m Cynical
Remember that story about the guy who was shot by the cops in London? Remember how the police say they were justified in shooting him because he was wearing a jacket that could have been concealing a bomb, was running away from the police, and jumped the turnstyle to get into the Subay? Remember that? […]

Why I’m on Trial
Sorry for this being protected for a little while. After I posted it without comment, I thought that perhaps it could get me into trouble. I put the password on until I was able to write up these comments. Yes, I’m caustic, polarizing, and transgressive. As the title of this blog alludes to, I readily […]
