The departure of Rick Wakeman after From The Witchwood came as little surprise to music insiders. It was clear that Rick Wakeman and Dave Cousins had different personal visions. For the pair of them to continue collaborating someone, or both of them needed to change. That was not an option that either seemed to find […]

In the 9/20/11 issues of Sojourners magazine is an advertisement for the 2012 Gladdening Light Symposium featuring Jesus Seminar scholar John Dominic Crossan.  Part of the ad copy reads, “Feed the soul, savor the beauty, and experience the communion love of Agape in the Gladdening Light of God.”
However, if Crossan is being heralded as what […]

Hey, lets face it, vacations are boring today. Where is the challenge in being pampered in a 5 star resort with golden beaches, calm blue seas, free booze and as much lobster as you keep down?
Back in the day there were much finer ways so shorten your lifespan than high cholesterol Lobster.

In this modern world of Political Correctness every news reporter and commenter has to observe some rules. Could it be the Ten Commandments of big media?
Thou shalt not say anything even remotely to do with the Gay lifestyle unless your name is Ellen Degeneress.
Thou shalt not piss off any company that is paying for adds.

I do not tend to use YouTube, in my mind it is mostly a collection of homemade videos of people doing really stupid things that likely resulted in a visit to the hospital, or cutesy videos of cats and dogs behaving in some bizarre manner.   
However I upgraded my opinion of the site yesterday. I […]

Whats ALPR? All is explained in this article.
The one thing that I love about technology companies is that they love to brag. There are few that cannot resist the limelight! And of course the Internet offers the perfect stomping ground.
In my previous article I expressed some concerns about ALPR and the way the data might […]

In humble homage to the Prolate Spheroid we have decided to take a week off. No program on Sunday. OK so what is a Prolate Spheroid you ask? Well it is subtly different from an Oblate Spheriod.
According to a PhD Richard E. Barrans Jr. an oblate spheroid describes the shape of an M&M candy:

The internet is fertile ground for idiocy. Based on the emails that I get on a daily basis I should be richer than Bill Gates, be hung like an Elephant, and have the body of a Greek god. Most of these emails get caught in the Spam filter, but occasionally one sneaks its way through.

Use to be during the Christmas season in modern America, if the individual wanted a little buzz during the holidays, they would slip a bit of something into their eggnog.  Now, all you have to do to feel that surge of agitated surliness is to turn on the news or read about those turning themselves […]

Well actually quite a lot. One is old and reasonably rich, the other is young, brainless, and likely penniless.
But who paid the bigger price for being found guilty? Newt fessed up $300,000 yet Casey has managed to even avoid the $25 a month for probation. So who is the smarter one?
Casey was accused of murder; […]

It was with fun that I read the latest article on this subject from Infoworld. At one time or another everyone working for a large company has found themselves as the victim. It does not matter if you are IT geek, Corporate user, or just poor customer. The stories are always fun, yet also troublesome.

Your Facebook account gets hacked! The attack came from China, and it begs a few questions. The population of China is guestimated to be a staggering 1,338,299,500, that makes it even bigger than Texas! I suspect that with all the Wings and Wongs needing to claim Facebook real estate that it is pretty darn tough […]

Watching the Republican contenders for a finalist spot in the 2012 political Superbowl next November is actually quite entertaining. It reminds me of a time some 20 years ago when one of my kids decided that the perfect pets were a couple of Garter Snakes. Of course like all kids, he lost interest in […]

I am the first to admit that the occasional really big story slips by me. I get wrapped up in something minor like Child abuse and murder, and so miss the really big stories like a cure for HIV/Aids being announced.
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed in CNN and Fox […]

For those of you not familiar with Sharia Law, it is the somewhat strange law practiced in some strictly Muslim countries. Often the punishments far outweigh the crime. In fact it is even common for the victim rather than the perpetrator to be the one that suffers.

It doesn’t matter how you slice it or dice it, those are three chilling words for many people involved with the Armed Services.
I first began to understand the meaning of those three simple words when I watched the documentary by that same name. If you have not watched it you should. My review is here.

 As a Canadian who spends a great deal of time in the U.S. I am always amazed at the differences between our two countries. I live in Montreal and most of my extended visits are to New York City. This again exaggerates things as the flight is but an hour. One would expect two international […]

Christmas is the time of year when the thoughts of most Americans grow to be at their most devout.  It is increasingly the time of year that the avowed despisers of the Almighty are at their most disrespectful.

When it comes to Virginia, the Newt is indeed Neutered. The Newt is not on the ballot for the March 6 food fest of fun known as the Primary. The Newt apparently did not qualify the 10,000 Newt, fan test. Apparently there were not enough Aquarium dwellers to sign the petition.
But all is not lost!

I like to deal with sane and rational people, so I rarely dip my toes in the septic swamp that we euphemistically refer to as politics. I find all of the finger pointing and negativity to do little but destroy credibility. Long gone are the days that a politician would stand up and say, vote […]

To quote from the 1970 Stevie Wonder hit, the Casey Anthony trial is Signed, Sealed and Delivered. To many people the trial represented a huge miscarriage of justice. Where is the justice for Caylee Anthony? There is none, is the simple answer. She is nothing more than a statistic, a very sad statistic.
Meanwhile, it seems […]

Back in the 70’s a staple in the average British Pub was eggs. Of course the average English Pub was not your  Denny’s 3am adventure. The pub was into beer not fine dining, if you wanted that, well there was a ‘Fish N Chip’ shop not far away.

It has been observed that often a picture is worth a thousand words.  By this, it is meant that often a witty image can more quickly convey an idea than a written exposition.
Another truism nearly as classic insists that the only thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn anything from history.
