To Catch A Predator” or “How ABC Set Itself Up as the Legal System”

I hate the show “To Catch A Preda­tor.” Why do I hate it? Because it totally cir­cum­vents the legal sys­tem and sets a TV net­work (yes, a tv net­work) up as not only the police and inves­ti­ga­tion team, but as the judge and prosecutor. You can’t tell me that being shown as a vile per­son [...]

Links Fixed

Ok, I fixed the links in my post about Obama and pol­i­tics. I’ve had two com­ments so far, both of which are worth read­ing (mostly b/c they some­what dis­agree w/ each other). Derek said some­thing really impor­tant that I didn’t really get around to to say­ing and whole-heartedly agree with, namely “The truth is that [...]

Obama and Faith

Brent, over at Colos­sians Three Six­teen, posted recently about Barack Obama talk­ing about how faith ought to “bring us together” and how the Reli­gious Right has hijacked faith etc, etc. He points out that: While I under­stand Obama’s politi­cized point, it is just that: a politi­cized point. It is not any­thing rep­re­sent­ing true bib­li­cal faith. Obama paints [...]

Frank Deford

I couldn’t care less about sports. That’s not true. I COULD care just a TINY bit less about sports. But I’d have to try. In any case, every Wednes­day morn­ing, just before I get to work, Frank Deford comes on to talk about sports. And every time, I get sucked in. If you fol­low the above [...]

Lightning Strike

Ok, for all you broad­band users out there, you’ve got to watch this: light­ning strik­ing a tree up close and personal. This is amaz­ing stuff.

Lots of Caucasians

Ok, the man who brought you “I Like Big Bibles and I Can­not Lie” also put out “Lots of Cau­casians” to the tune of “I Can Only Imagine”. Hyste-freakin-sterical. This link is to his MySpace, which has both of it on them (includ­ing the video of ‘I Like Big Bibles’. Bril­liant.

The Simple Dollar

I stum­bled today onto The Sim­ple Dol­lar, which is a blog about frugality. Over­all, it seems pretty good. Noth­ing genius, but noth­ing too over the top, either. I don’t think it’s going to make it into my list of google reader sub­scrip­tions, but it seemed like the kind of thing that folks (Amanda, Jenn?) might enjoy.

Why Wil Wheaton Rules

I read Wil Wheaton’s blog. You know, Wes­ley Crusher, from Star Trek: The Next Gen­er­a­tion. That Wil Wheaton. Any­ways, he recently gave the speech for Gene Roddenberry’s induc­tion into the hall of fame. You should read it. Then you’ll know why I read WWdN.

Osalt.com

Here’s a great site: Osalt.com — open source as alternative. Basi­cally, it’s a data­base of a lot of pop­u­lar soft­ware and the open source (ie. free) alter­na­tives. It spells out pretty plainly what oper­at­ing sys­tem the soft­ware is avail­able for (like this: win­dows mac linux unix java), gives a short blurb, a link to the [...]

When Rednecks Blog

I’m not sure what the point of this arti­cle is. It’s a Texas take on a camcorder’s inter­nal mic. I can’t decide if it’s utterly sar­cas­tic or if it’s half sar­cas­tic, but seri­ous about the inter­nal mic being ok. Rather Jeff-Miller-esque, I’d say.
