Vat19

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

I have long been wanting to buy a copy of the game Khet. It’s been on my Amazon Wishlist forever. A few days ago I ran across the website for Vat19 when seeing a youtube video about their 32,000 calorie, 26 pound Gummy Bear. I also noticed they had both the base version of Khet [...]

Étoilé OS: “Get Yourself Together, or Fall Apart”

Monday, October 24, 2011

Once the last, great hope for a modern, usable, GNUstep desktop, the future of the Étoilé project now appears to be in doubt. After at least 5 years of development, it seems that the developers have lost their focus and have allowed themselves to be consumed by endless futzing around with low-level aspects of the [...]

Damn You All To Hell…Or Not

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

So an interesting discussion came up at the Friendly Atheist today titled Can’t Christians Just Admit Anne Frank is in Hell? In it he discusses yet another article by Rachel Held Evans called Did Anne Frank go to hell? It’s an interesting question. If you are truly a believer in Christ, and in Christianity on [...]

Texas Education Agency Takes On Math

Monday, March 15, 2010

In a move that hardly surprised anyone the Texas Education Agency, or TEA, has moved on from Social Studies and taken on the subject of arithmetic and determined what Texas students will learn over the next 10 years. Some points from the discussion: Image via Wikipedia TEA members have declared multiplication “bullshit”. One board member [...]

Jackass Of The Week: John Gruber

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Image by Laughing Squid via Flickr As much as I dislike Apple as a company I do tend to like John Gruber and his analysis. He is an ass like me most of the time which probably helps. This time though he goes to far. He points out that some tests with Flash on the [...]

Stephen Colbert Is Right About Bears

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Anyone who watches The Colbert Report with any frequency knows of the man’s hatred of the Ursine’s. They regularly top The Threat Down as the #1 threat. It seems his thinking isn’t all that far off if…you are are a child, and you make fun of bald people. Image via Wikipedia The Christian god apparently [...]

An Open Letter To Steve Jobs RE: iPad Naming

Friday, January 29, 2010

On behalf of Fujitsu (PDF), Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, and Coconut Grove Intimates (now defunct, even the WayBackMachine couldn’t help me) I would like to put forth the following open letter to Steve Jobs and Apple Computers. I shall be as brief as my predecessor. Change your devices name. Not that big of a deal. Look familiar [...]

Why Are People Religious?

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Here is part two of my series about atheism. If you remember from my introductory post I am exploring my ideas of atheism and how best to state my position. I figure one good place to start is to figure out why people are religious. Here is my take. Basically I see two reasons people [...]

I’m Doing It Wrong!

Monday, January 25, 2010

Found an article by Chris Clarke over at Coyote Crossing that explains the “magic recipe” to writing award winning blog posts. It clearly shows that I don’t know what I am doing. Maybe that is the reason for this blog’s abysmal readership. Of course it could also be because I am an outrageous ass who [...]

What Am I Watching: Brazil

Friday, January 15, 2010

Last night I popped in my copy of Brazil, the movie I consider to be Terry Gilliam‘s masterpiece. The stark, spartan cinematography is excellent. The acting is on par. The story is so reminiscent of other works by George Orwell and Kurt Vonnegut that I personally feel right at home. The movie seems to be [...]
