I am often accused of being controversial for the fun of it. Sometimes, I am. However, often as not, I am just writing from the heart and my heart is, I guess, full of controversy. If you are so offended by controversy that you cannot read something controversial to the end, please don’t read this, [...]
Now, many of you are aware of my great loathing of the Associated Press. An acquaintance sent me this gem:
An American life worth less today
WASHINGTON - It’s not just the American dollar that’s losing value. A government agency has decided that an American life isn’t worth what it used to be. The “value of a [...]
So, I have some kind of a cold. My brain is fuzzy and eyes ache, so no posts for my adoring fans. Sorry. I am putting a large amount of concentration into breathing and sitting up at the moment.
And I am a little blue. This happens, it is no longer the earth shattering thing to [...]
A cynic, a compassionate atheist, a pragmatic Christian, and a fundamentalist Christian, all received an invitation to God’s banquet. The cynic got there first, wanting the satisfaction of proving its non-existence before anyone else did.

Ok, so seriously, no one seemed to get my previous blog.
This was the point.
Point (1.) Metaphorically speaking, your mind is an operating system for your brain, the same way Linux is an operating system for a computer.
Point (2.) An Avatar is software construct which allows you to give a face to data, regardless of whether [...]
One of my favorite concepts about the human mind is the idea of the human mind as an operating system for the brain, just as Linux is the operating system of the computer that I am writing this on.
This concept is a whole mental toolkit, with fascinating rabbit trails relating to almost any issue [...]
So, recently, I’ve been reading military history and tactics again, inspired partly by my nightly reading of the the Air Force PFE study guide (Promotional Fitness Examination). I’ve run into this gem of a term “asymmetric warfare”. A quick pursue of the Google News showed 51 entries under the title “asymmetrical warfare”. All I can [...]
Once upon a time, Sunday morning was a hectic time for me. It was a time to get shaved, get dressed, hurry through breakfast, and get to church. Becky and I gave up on going to a church building Sunday mornings about a year ago. We still fellowship with people we love, which of course [...]
