I'm still testing out this theme.

This days, it takes alot to shock me via internet. But this did. (warning…some language at these sites) People praying at the “bull” statue on wall street. And more here. And here.
Squirrels are one of my favorite comedy subjects. So this video is perfect for today:
Wow. Printing objects on the cheap. Imagine what our kids could make with this? Wait a second. Imagine what our kids could make with this?!?!?
The phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is really just a pile of humanistic junk. There are plenty of things that don’t kill you but make you weaker. Polio for instance. Getting your leg run over by a truck, for instance. A dog bite that gives you an unhealthy fear of dogs, for [...]
PROVERBS 11:1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight. HOSEA 12:7 [...] Deceitful scales are in his hand; He loves to oppress. AMOS 8:4 Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, And make the poor of the land fail, 5 Saying: “When will the New Moon [...]
From time to time I see churches on the web that have really focused on the “experience” of a worship service. In fact, some of them even rename worship services “experiences”. Then, you see other more traditional folks hammer away at this, saying it’s “man centered” and “feel good” and such. I agree to a [...]
In Mulan, I think she joins the army after this….. And here’s the one from last year:
I love our cat. But only because she knows who’s boss. That’s why I am always on the lookout for Cattitude adjustement R & D. This is incredible. Any technique that can induce spontaneous feline levitation with such frequency is more than groundbreaking. It’s a revolution.
Individuals get 70 billion in bonuses while my children and grandchildren fund their bailout. Sure, through the labyrinth of accounting it’s not quite that direct. But the fact is that the people who ushered in this catastrophe are walking away with fortunes while citizens (not “taxpayers” or “consumers”) backfill the spoils. This is not capitalism. [...]
Our black and white shorthair domestic is still missing and presumed KIA. But my son and I still had alot of fun with this video this morning:
I don’t know which is better, the actual event or the anchor back at the studio fivin’ the co-anchor.
Dad (me): see, you look good with short hair… Daughter: so you’re saying it looks bad now?! Wife: see? I didn’t teach her that! I know……I know…. Eve did.
These are the first iphone apps that I actually bought: They’re still half-baked from a feature perspective, but they’re pretty cool. Definitely handy music idea apps. I sat around a played with bloom for 15 minutes in my car. Which even made sense without taking drugs.
Back in 1998 Congress passed the DMCA. It passed the Senate by unanimous vote. This was a law created by big media to make it easier to go after pirated material. And because digital copy protection is so impossible, thy tried to legislate it away by making it illegal to bypass it. In reality, it [...]
dada dada dada dada dada dada dada dat..DAAaaah… This is a side project a friend of mine have been working on. Just for fun. It’s about IT philosophy: Art of Infotech.
I recently bought a cheapo remote control plane from Wal-Mart. The kids and I have had great fun with it. (What this really means is that they love running for it after I crash it.) After a couple sessions of this, this video becomes all kinds of awesome. Note the bravery of flying such a [...]
So where did these beasts come from? In yet another bitterly ironic chapter in the silliness of Democrat and Republican legislative and collective failing, CDS’ were created in 2000 by an obscure provision of the “Commodity Futures Modernization Act”. It was passed by the House in a 377 to 4 vote, the Senate (vote unknown) [...]
National debt clock draws worried glances. Federal budget deficit for 2009 will reach a staggering 2 Trillion dollars. As a percentage of GDP, that’s WWII spending levels. Meanwhile, Europe (who’s in worse shape than the U.S.) is pretty much guaranteeing everything with their banks. And the U.S. will follow. Expect the uncontrollable Federal debt to [...]
In studying what brought our country to the precipice of doom (and indeed, what might push it over), I’m finding out about a monstrosity called Credit Default Swaps. I’ve heard about them for months now, but I decided to dig in today to find out what they mean. I had no idea what these were. [...]
