Omegamom weighs in on being an ‘Angry Agnostic’ in response to an article by Rabbi Gellman who’s trying to understand ‘Angry Atheists’. A great passionate post.
Since the birth of my daughter I’ve found myself in the midst of these issues with my family (both close and extended) more and more often. At the risk of […]
A recent meme (see also Omegamom, Kent and Brad):
The instructions are:
Grab the nearest book.
Open it to page 161.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
Here’s the line:

Dave Winer points to ‘the show with zefrank‘. Absolutely entertaining. There are some people in this world who are just born to do something special. zefrank has found it. Smart, snarky, hyper-energetic, and wonderful. In this dawning age of do-it-yourself multimedia we will see so many more of these talented people popping out of the […]
I noticed a few spam emails getting through and arriving in my Gmail inbox this afternoon. They seem to be so few and far between for me that even a couple getting through is quite noticeable. After checking my spam folder it turns out that I’ve received about 2 dozen in the last two days […]

Changeups are sometimes nice. If you’ve been eating toast and jam for 3 weeks straight, a bowl of Special K can interject quite nicely on the palate. Such is the feeling I got listening to the most recent Gillmor Gang with Hugh Macleod (cartoonist/tailor) from gapingvoid.com. While it’s nice to listen in on the musings […]
I’ve decided to embark on a programming project once again. I’m going to try and develop a small suite of simple structural engineering tools using Python. This time I’ve created a new blog called ‘Design-Notes‘ which will hopefully document the process and keep me focused on the task over the longer haul. Should be interesting… […]

“…podcasting is not about professionals behind microphones, it’s about people with ideas and something to say…”
Matt Dattilo talking about Podcast for Good.
I’m a big fan of ‘The Bitterest Pill’ podcast by Dan Klass. I relate to it, I enjoy it, it makes me smile. So today I read this post by Dan that he’s changing to a paid subscription model. On his previous podcast he complained that a disgruntled listener thought he might be too […]
