I share a lot of his art online, but I'm not sure when I last asked friends to support his work. #

To believe that personal sins lead to international catastrophes is primitive and magical thinking. David Hayward, graffiti artist on the walls of religion

I just set up my wishlist in case anyone wants to support his work. #

Huffduffer is a great service. Just want I needed.#

one of the coolest things I've seen in a while#

If reports are true, what Liberty University did is indefensible. #

It's just more evidence they care more about their politics than their statement of faith.#

I've written a few times about my frustrations with Liberty - here, here, and here#

I wonder what LU's College Democrats club thinks. Oh wait... #

I don't think ministries should be tax exempt anyway, but certainly this one shouldn't be if they do things like this.#

Among cases in which a suspect was bitten by an attack dog and the suspect’s race was recorded, what percentage were black?

Take a guess.#

I don't need it often, but when I do The Verge

Obama could have been using a private email server out of Tehran and the media would have dismissed it as a non-issue. Hillary Clinton however is in the middle of a slap fight with the media.

It's Either Hillary or Biden#

I'm not sure this makes sense, but I never really did get why we still do daylight savings time. And I certainly don't understand why the rules had to change recently. I don't think it will ever make sense to me.#

In Finland, speeding fines are calculated based on the speeder’s daily income

I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, it seems an interesting way to make the punishment "hurt" everyone the same way. On the other, I can imagine it might lead to profiling of people with higher incomes. #

Watching the Oscars is a big event at our house. Every year we plan the menu so it includes food inspired by the best picture nominees. This year is a hard one for me.#

I'm open to suggestions.#

While working on a few upcoming blog posts, I found it necessary to drop a name or two.#

I don't like it any more than you do, but I have a hard time telling some stories without doing it, and frankly, I'm tired of holding back because I'm worried what people will think. #

On a related subject, I've held back from talking about or with people I consider friends simply because they have gained a certain level of notoriety, and I don't like to be accused of a** kissing. But I'm sick of worrying about that too. #

If you think you need to call me out for either, please do, but I'd prefer you give me constructive feedback on how to improve my writing so I don't have to do it again.#

#

I certainly don't consider myself naive, but I gotta admit I didn't know this wasn't already banned at universities.#

Some schools have a tiny minority of professors who use their popularity and prestige to empower themselves, and students respond to it ... This is a very, very serious problem for higher education.

While often romanticized in fiction, relationships between faculty and students can be abusive

- Billie Wright Dziech, a University of Cincinnati professor who studies the topic#

Federico Viticci makes an interesting case for using his iPad as his main computer. As a fellow fan of Editorial and Drafts, I've read his thoughts on this before. I'm sorry to see him suffer through terrible disease, but I'm glad he found a way to use technology to work around the limitations.#

I've found myself using my iPad, iPhone and Anroid phone more and more lately. I still write a lot of code, so I don't think I'm ready to give up my computer - but I've thought about it.#

It is a serious matter when a pope confuses political and ideological symbols for religious ones.

Pope Francis Is A Leftist And Must Be Called Out#

It must be so frustrating when your religious leaders mix politics you don't agree with into your religion.#

I can't imagine. #

I love when the discussion heads toward when things we read in science fiction will arrive IRL. Very much enjoyed reading the comment on Why Do We Still Have Airplanes#

I've owned every iPhone until the 6 and I planned to skip this one.#

There are three blogs I read every day. #

I'm pretty sure Seth Godin is no Apple fanboy and I am certain the other two bloggers are not, but Dave Winer had this to say when he got his iPhone, and this morning Fred Wilson wrote that he is getting one.#

It's like the bizzaro world.#

I need to design a tool that helps me schedule my college football watching. I like to put games on all day in the background, even on days like today when I plan to work all day. And I like to know which games are worth stopping to watch.#

I know it's mostly because of my obsessive personality, but it always seems to take a lot of effort to put my list together.#

If you know me, you'll know I'm not the mystical or hysterical type, but what you might not know is that I do have an emotional side. People who have known me for years are surprised when they discover that.#

I was driving when the first plane hit. I wasn't listening to the radio and didn't have a car phone so I had no idea something had happened, but I was listening to some music and and a wave of emotion struck me with an intensity I've experienced very few times in my life.#

I'll never forget it.#

I was in the company of others and in front of a television in time to see the second plane hit and the towers fall.#

I'll never forget that either. #

I don't remember events as well as I remember numbers and names, but this one I will never forget.#

this is just a test#

testing, one, two#
