More New Year’s stuff

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

I especially like the second last paragraph. Also, new interview with Philip Zimbardo (Stanford Experiment) about heroism. And, isn’t it amazing how an article can be 5.5 years old and still pointedly relevant?

Jesus is coming. Or not.

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

You know how I said that Jesus is late for his appointment???  Personally I think he’s a no show.  The Kingdom of God and the Immanence of Christ are right here, right now.  You may call it something else, but you can’t wait for Jesus; he’s already here.  That’s why I always thought the Rapture [...]

Plotting and planning

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Coffee’s up, I’ll go grab it in a minute…. here’s my New Year wishes…. Revellers, depart with care From chill 2009 2010′s embrace may be Nowhere near as fine Approach with caution, friends close by and plans all carefully laid. Some depart this year with glee And some with great cost paid. Unemployment, lack and [...]

I love my brother

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

He rented me “A Midwife’s Tale” an American Experience documentary.  OMG it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD.  Really.  I can think of many people who need to see this.  He and I and Keith watched it.

Best sales pitch EVAR

Suddenly I want to buy a USB accelerometer. I have no idea how I ended up at this site.

Brain empty, repost

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Keith sent me the following email, so I am reposting it.  The apple don’t fall far from the tree, as a rule. A Regular Canadian Family. … Aren’t they cute? Not even remotely. Check this out: Montreal mafia Don’s son killed This is so awesome I have to write some of my take on the [...]

Disorienting day

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

The transit trip out to Richmond left me in broadloom biting mode, with extra rantiness, so the less vented the better.  Harley the Akita Lab cross still loves me, which was nice.  There was much conversation and a bite or two of yummy Japanese food.  I was home by 7 o’clock, my new beau gave [...]

Off to Richmond

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I won’t post again until tonight. Today was the first morning in ages that there wasn’t frost all over everything.

And now, a picture of a hitchhiking sloth

Slothy was swimming, but decided to hitch a ride when offered.

TB makes a really big comeback.

Oh, no, I feel a rant coming on

Monday, December 28th, 2009

All creativity comes from God? You have GOT to be kidding me.  Yes, the article is about something else, but that was the quote that caused my bowels to rumble and my breath to catch. Creativity does not come from God.  Creativity is definitely affected, channeled, restricted or liberated by belief or unbelief in God, [...]

Prometheus the space potato

Here’s a new raw pic from Cassini/Ciclops. Earlier I called it Enceladus, but I wuz wrong.

Went to the wrong church.  Church is at the Gathering Place today.  Since I was already late for church if it was in Sapperton, I wasn’t going to drive to Coquitlam to be late there as well.  Sigh.  I suppose this is a sign from God that I should clean the kitchen.

Oh, well

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I would have been a lot happier if Katie had deigned to show up for Christmas dinner, but I am reminded of the comment regarding 50 dollars and Kid Shelleen, so I’ll just leave it at that.  He that hath ears, let him hear.  At some point I should deliver her housemates’ presents. We’re having [...]

Jesus had money and Los Alamos goes boom

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

So say some Christians. That’s not particularly Unitarian, though. Oh, and Los Alamos goes boom, but there was only three million dollars worth of damage, so it was a right sized kinda boom.
