Enough Already

How many people are actually being taken in by these schemes? If you’re this gullible and blinded by greed, then I guess this email is for you. I’m really getting tired of these. The sad thing is that I saw on the news, that older Americans are actually falling for these schemes, to the 10’s of thousands of dollars…

The Narrow Road » Blog Archive » On Abstraction

A great article on abstraction

The Narrow Road » Blog Archive » On Abstraction Let’s begin with a short practical experiment. Pick up a pen, or whatever similar sized object is handy, hold it a short distance above the ground, and drop it. The result – that the pen falls to the ground – is not a surprising one. The point of the experiment was not to note the result, however, but rather to note our lack of surprise at it.

Muslim Cab Drivers Refuse to Transport Alcohol, and Seeing Eye Dogs

Hmm, seeing how pharmacists can refuse to fill birth control prescriptions based on religion, and is upheld in our courts, shouldn’t muslim cab drivers also have their case of not taking passengers with alcohol or dogs also be held up? I think the Christian Coalition and the 700 Club should come to the defense of Muslim cab drivers and their cause. Besides, this would show some Christian/Muslim solidarity, coming together for a common cause, the enforcement of religion as a governing body over our everyday lives.

ABC News: Muslim Cab Drivers Refuse to Transport Alcohol, and Dogs Commissioners at one of the country’s biggest airports are considering punishing Muslim cab drivers who refuse service to passengers possessing alcohol or guide dogs. The cabbies claim transporting those items violates Islamic law. "It is against our faith and the airport is discriminating against Muslim drivers," says a cab driver who would only give his first name, Hashim.

US answer to global warming: smoke and giant space mirrors

I am having such a hard time in trying to figure out this administration. Are they really, really this disconnected from teh real world, or are they just this dark as to not care for the future of humanity. I am truly starting to believe the latter. As long as they can control the here and now, that’s what matters.

Giant space mirrors? Giant space mirrors? To help counteract the effects of greenhouse gases, mainly the amount of CO2 that industries are pumping into hte atmosphere, Cheney’s gang (it’s really his presidency after all) want to use space mirrors as opposed to reducing the gases. President Cheney, there is more than just global warming. After we pump enough Co2 in the atmosphere, what the hell are supposed to breathe? I guess since you’ll be long gone, that’s of no interest or concern to you.

US answer to global warming: smoke and giant space mirrors | Climate change | Guardian Unlimited Environment The US government wants the world’s scientists to develop technology to block sunlight as a last-ditch way to halt global warming, the Guardian has learned. It says research into techniques such as giant mirrors in space or reflective dust pumped into the atmosphere would be "important insurance" against rising emissions, and has lobbied for such a strategy to be recommended by a major UN report on climate change, the first part of which will be published on Friday.

The funny thing is that this was already tried

Republican: Movie Scripts need reviewing

Oh why, oh why must North Carolina from time to time show it’s backwater dark side? Now what, pretty soon the only funding received by films will be ones aired on the 700 Club network? Folks like this are truly not doing a service to real Christians. Mr. Berger, what you "propose" accounts to censorship, which I’m sure you’re well aware of and is most likely your goal. I suppose that next, we’ll have Sunday morning book burnings?

Republican: Scripts need reviewing | StarNewsOnline.com | Star-News | Wilmington, NC Raleigh | Citing the controversy surrounding the Dakota Fanning film Hounddog, the leader of the state Senate Republicans says he wants the government to review scripts before cameras start rolling in North Carolina. That system, said state Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, would apply only to films seeking the state’s lucrative filmmaker incentive, which refunds as much as 15 percent of what productions spend in North Carolina from the state treasury.

As I ponder my iPhone …

Some thoughts.

  1. will the surface be susceptible to scratches like an iPod?
  2. cannot replace the battery, must visit an Apple store or mail in which means you’ll get a used iPhone on replacement?
  3. isn’t upgradeable, must purchase new phone for new options?
  4. first generation isn’t 3G
  5. first generation is lacking GPS

So..thinking of waiting for gen2 iPhones for now.

Google to build data center in N.C.

iPhone mania has officially begun

When does a product officially hit mania stage? Apparently, just several days after the keynote. The iPhone ringtone, spreading like wildfire and dugg like hell….
Yeah, I downloaded it too and got it on my Nokia…

iPhone Ringtone Sounds Like Holy Angels Tinkling: Download it Here – Gizmodo One might remember that Steve Jobs took a call on the iPhone during the Keynote. Well there was a unique ringtone there. A ringtone of heavenly qualities in tone, rhythm, and key that Steve Jobs likely had composed by the eternally restless soul of Beethoven which he summoned with the ritual sacrifice of a Macbook (Beet is a Mac User, even as the Undead). We have it here for you. Credit goes to an anonymous Gizmodo fan that took the time to extract the ringtone audio from the presentation, clean up the static and the sound of 1,000 fanboys wetting themselves, and send it on in for our loyal and awesome-tastic readers to load onto their plebeian handsets. We’ve got the skins, the papercraft model, and now we’ve got the ringtone. Franken-iPhone, here we come!–Brian Lam

Navy to name aircraft carrier after Gerald Ford – USATODAY.com

fordThe Navy announced Tuesday it will name the first ship in the next class of aircraft carriers after former President Gerald R. Ford, who died three weeks ago. It is a fitting tribute to Ford, who served in the Navy during World War II, say those who knew him.

A fitting tribute to President Ford, and well deserved. I just hope the ship herself doesn’t get mixed up and think she was made by Ford Motors, parts might start falling off way out at sea.
