I’ve been mulling over this trite screed all day. I actually held off on posting earlier because I wanted to see what PZ would write. And rip it apart he did. This contrite piece of garbage is full of logical fallacies but they’re well worded, at least.
They’re up in arms trying to [...]

3rd annual Florida Farm to Fuel
July 30th, 2008 No Comments
The 3rd annual Florida Farm to Fuel conference starts in about 9 hours in Orlando. According to Domestic Fuel it sounds like it’s going to be thoroughly interesting this year given Crist’s recent pushes for environmentalism in Florida. He and a few people from FAU recently returned from their ten day jaunt in [...]

How the story of Adam and Even would likely happen today
July 29th, 2008 No Comments
This is one of my favorite web comics, White Ninja. If you go on to read more of them, don’t worry, you’re not lost in the story because there’s not one. Each strip has no relation to the others besides White Ninja and ancillary characters.

Arctic Circle full of gas, running low on oil
July 25th, 2008 No Comments
In a short but sweet post on the NY Times Dot Earth (free!), it’s revealed that according to the US Geological Survey, the Arctic is literally chock full of uncharted natural gas but rides low on oil. The area above the Arctic Circle holds up to a third of the world’s uncharted gas which [...]

It’s stupid humid outside right now
July 22nd, 2008 2 Comments
I’ve just returned from my umpteenth trip to the trash cans today and I just realized how insanely humid it is right now. Simpleweather.com only reports the temperature at 81F but a balmy 79% humidity. And normally, this would mean it’s about to rain except that it’s mostly clear skies and there’s no [...]

Sometimes, solar charging isn’t worth it
July 21st, 2008 No Comments
Last week I received my Solar Technology Freeloader (I actually bought mine at Firebox.com) in hopes of eschewing my Sidekick’s charger for a solar-powered charger. Well, it got charged but it was because I used the included USB cable to charge the Freeloader’s battery not from solar charging. I’ve charged the Freeloader in [...]

Dictionaries did not explode in printing presses

This is an IDer’s explanation that God, without question, exists. He states early in the video that the most minute portion of anything in the physical universe is explainable by a mind behind it. So rocks and atoms have minds behind them. Is there a planet of rock people sending their prisoners [...]

How can FAU strive to keep kids on campus?
July 20th, 2008 No Comments
Perusing my nearly week’s worth of unread feeds, I came across this article about upcoming efforts to keep Florida Atlantic University’s resident students on campus more. I think this is a step in the right direction for FAU to try and start competing on a higher level for students from other state universities. [...]
Long awaited Sidekick LX OTA finally arrived
July 17th, 2008 5 Comments
Since June, there’s been a new OTA update floating around for the LX/Slides and it’s supposed to be this fanciful awesome new thing. Problem is it was (and probably still is) in the “pioneer” roll-out stage. The “pioneer” stage is set up for dedicated users, hardcore Sidekick lovers, and other people that T-Mobile/Danger [...]
