I snapped a picture of my Pac Man t-shirt using my Motorola MPx220 cell phone in its “self portrait” mode: where the viewfinder is echoed onto the screen that is on the outside of the flip phone. Thinking about it for a second, I had a moment’s inspiration and took another picture. This error apparently […]

This story of a Florida man arrested for using an open WiFi router has been making the rounds, and I’ve been holding off on posting about it because on the face of it, it seems completely absurd. And yet, if I were charged with a third-degree felony, I might take it more seriously. Articles like […]

Check out this blogger’s report about theferrett: The Weirdest Book I Ever Got, his exposure to The Creationist’s View of the DINOSAURS and the Theory of Evolution. The pictures are priceless. Addendum: Here is the author’s website where you can order a copy of your own.

Periodically Slashdot runs a story to punch the creation versus evolution button. I must admit, it’s one of my hot button topics. I’d could rant substantially about it, but instead I’ll just ask that you read the comments and see how many of its proponents seem to be unable to spell the word “intelligent”. A […]

I’ve supported the notion that I think that the world is a much better place when people can communicate with one another. It’s one of the reasons that I blog. Sometimes, this is a hard philosophy to live with. Creationist knuckledragger Ken Ham has apparently figured out how to use WordPress and podcast. Sigh. I […]

Apparently a fast food chain in Tennessee has decided to use material from Kent Hovind (aka Doctor Dino) to adorn the placemats they hand out to kids in an attempt to “educate” them about dinosaurs. It’s a pity really, because Dr. Dino doesn’t actually know anything about dinosaurs. Or rather, virtually everything he does know […]

Lisa has some comments for the writers on CSI, so I thought I’d pile on with a couple of my own: The original CSI still has the best characters of any of the shows, but they are slipping. Early episodes actually presented them as secondary plot elements, not merely props to advance the plotline. Get […]

I’m shocked. Absolutely shocked. How much of anything you do gets completed on time and to everyone’s satisfaction?

I’ll admit it: I love to argue about evolution and creationism. Actually, it’s not so much an argument, as no real rational argument in favor of creationism can be made. It’s really more of a desire to hitch creationism to the bumper of my car, and drag it through the mud. Call it a personal […]

Courtesy of I Love Radio.org, read this remarkable study: News Flash: Listeners Hate Commercials. How surprising, that people resent being pummelled by twenty or more minutes of advertising every hour. Whenever I listen to real radio, it isn’t boredom that kills me (I’m only wounded by boredom) but just the irritation of having any kind […]

I just completed ordering a product from a website which claimed “free next day delivery!”. “Golly”, I think to myself. “It will be nice to have this gadget sooner rather than later.” I eagerly click, and imagine the box being here on Friday. Just got the confirmation email. The item (mind you, not built to […]

How in the world does this book get to be ranked #15 on amazon.com? Truly, the end times must be upon us. Or, they would be if I believed in such nonsense.

All you have to do is rely on directions from MSN and you’ll be well on your way. This would be slightly amusing, but is elevated by the apologies of Robert Scoble, who once again rises to the level of apologist for all things Microsoft.

MSNBC – Judge nixes evolution textbook stickers A federal judge Thursday ordered a suburban Atlanta school system to remove stickers from its high school biology textbooks that call evolution “a theory, not a fact,” saying the disclaimers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. The complete decision is here. The Judge claimed that the stickers failed […]
