For centuries religion has used various natural events and objects as proof of god. The Sun, the rain, storms, plants, and the stars have been essential tools in justifying the existence of god. But as science has progressed and has been able to provide answers for many tangible matters, religion has shifted its argument to — Continue reading »
Facebook Backsliding

📂 Social,Web 🗨 No Comments
Not being much of a social person, I've never had much interest in the social aspect of Facebook, but being naturally inquisitive, I have my own account there just to kick the tires, so to speak. I think the clean design and the API library were appealing at first. But shortly after, the novelty wore — Continue reading »
Ponzi Sentencing

I have to admit to a bit of sympathy for the convicted schemer, Bernie Madoff, when I saw his picture today (he pleaded guilty today).

I don't have a great affection for loud holiday celebrations. Not that there's anything wrong with them. Mine just happens to be a subdued personality shunning large and loud crowds. But when your kids want to see the ball drop in New York City, you put your prejudices aside and take the plunge. One must — Continue reading »
MSNBC Prostitution Articles

📂 Social,Web 🗨 No Comments
For the past few days a number of prostitution-related articles have made their way to the "Most Viewed" list on MSNBC, but clicking on those links results in a Page-Not-Found error. Is this a prank by vandals or just MSNBC's censors blocking the articles that were ostensibly published on the site? Screenshots: msnbc,prostitution,censorship — Continue reading »
