I was able to ride my scooter to work on Tuesday and now I find out that we’re going to be getting six freaking inches of snow tomorrow. Why can’t it make up it’s freaking mind? One thing I crave is predictability. If I can get into a nice, stable rut, I feel very happy. [...]

Wil has made the call, and I will answer. I’m pledging to do thirty blog posts in thirty days. I realize I’ve been slacking, mostly because there’s so much going on right now. Expect posts on all kinds of things in the next thirty days. I’ll be blogging about my new job, our baby, my [...]

A lot of chatter has been raised in sci fi geek circles about whether the Battlestar Galactica could beat the Enterprise. I say, as with most things, it depends. For this comparison, I’m going to use the Enterprise D instead of the original, or the piece of crap that Archer drove. If the Enterprise could [...]

I was reading through some of my old blog posts today and it struck me how much I wrote back when I started and how I didn’t seem to try to write anything of any importance. Complaining about work, complaining about school and life and stuff seemed to take up all my time. I kinda [...]

In his most recent post, Wil pretty much captured my feelings on, well, life asplode. When I was a kid, when I was asked “what would you ask for, if you could have anything you want?” I used to reply, “X-ray vision” or “the ability to fly!” or some other super power. These days, all [...]

If any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, then any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from God. But that does not mean that intelligence is worth of worship or responds to prayer.

I’m a secularist. And an atheist. Well, no. I’m a nontheist. I see no purpose for a God or god or gods or force in this universe. I see no need for an authority figure to carrot-and-stick me into being a good person. But just like I don’t discriminate against folks who need physical crutches, [...]

I’m posting this from TextMate using Brad Choate’s kick-ass Blogging bundle. Basically, it works like this. You install the bundle, using the slightly hard-to-find instructions for installing a TextMate bundle, configure it with one line, and then authenticate yourself on the blog. (It’s helpful if you remember your password.) Then, using XMLRPC, it lets you [...]

Rolling Stone : How to Steal a Coastline By then, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour will be running for president, and his Gulf Coast will be a showpiece microcosm of an ideal America — plenty of condo space, casinos on every block, no abortions and no darkies. Thank you, Hurricane Katrina!

Wil has no idea how good he’s got it. My mornings consist of hitting my alarm until it’s too late for me to shower, throwing on some clothes and walking to work. Not only do I not get my cup of coffee in my bathrobe, but I have to get to work and then make [...]
