Thank You Mr. Olbermann

At last. At long last. A voice of sanity.
Keith Olbermann decimates George W. Bush. Sadly, words like these are too late to save over 4000 American Members of the Armed Services who were not supported by our administration. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Neo-conservatives. You have [...]

GWB, Cowardice, Bravery, a nation of sheep and Jar Jar Binks

The following was originally a comment to a thought crime article on current.com. We think it stands on it’s own. Here it is:
GWB said he was a ‘uniter,’ and he did a fabulous job of ‘uniting’ the US under the Banner of Fear. And, like sheep and Jar-Jar Binks, we [...]

Atheism and Spirituality

I’m sure you would say that atheism and spirituality are mutually exclusive. That is an atheist MUST reject anything remotely spiritual.
I am of the opinion that an atheist can be acutely aware of spirituality. By rejecting God or gods in any form, an atheist must be aware that the actions of self and [...]

Possible Polyamory? Multiple Monogamy?

I revel in possibilities. Practical alternatives to our stalemate with culture, economics, and society. We have been told over and over that the USA is a ‘free country.’ But in what way? there is absolutely nothing free except air and water, and we are paying big-time for Coke and Pepsi to [...]

The Democrat Problem and an American Solution

Simply stated, the Democratic Party has got too many choices. Two great candidates: Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. One has charisma and is a great orator, the other is a master executive and problem solver.
Both have platforms and viewpoints that are, essentially compatible. Trouble is, the supporters of one are rabid [...]

A Search Engine Optimization Strategy

The mantra of the SEO community is: Content and Backlinks. The MetaGoogle MegaCorporation calculates a site’s worth with some high-falutin’ hueristic that measures the depth of the Moon’s Shadow, the Man’s Piaba and maybe the number of ‘worthy’ links into your site. The worthiness is also a magic quantity that nobody is really [...]

Yup, I’m a “My Name is Earl” fan.

Karma does indeed work in mysterious ways. Even though “The Peoples Choice” awards are history, and ‘Earl’ got passed over, I rejoice that Earl got out of the Slammer.
And got run over again…
We will just have to wait for next season and find out if the show is cancelled … Now that would [...]

Blog Footer Plugin for Word Press

We like WordPress. A lot. It is written in the cleanest code, very well structured, efficient, and does a socially useful function.
That’s high praise for a piece of computer software. A socially useful function. Now for my socially not-so-useful reasons, I wanted to run all of my various blogs out of [...]

Story Telling, Psychological Therapy, Learning Computer Science and Video Screenplay all in one!

Story Telling Alice is an interesting approach to education, with some potential uses for teen-therapy.
Youth are totally OK with button pushing, and can juggle the complex nature of computer interaction: we see evidence of that with the popularity of cell-phone texting and video games, etc.
Now while ‘Alice’ is a vehicle for teaching some programming skills, [...]

Things that Everybody Knows but Google.

If I ask the question: “How much percentage of fat is in a fat cell?” I may get several answers: none of which actually address my exact question. Since fat cells normally grow and shrink to hold more, or less fat, the answer is pretty much up in the air. You could [...]
