My Atheism – 3
I left high school and entered university already with a pretty negative view of organized religion. But a fortuitous opportunity at the start of my time at University helped cement that mindset. I was “gifted” through most of my early education, and that selected me for the advanced track in college. There was a 2…

My Atheism – 2
Recapping, I was fortunate in my early, formative years to not have been indoctrinated in religious belief. I also lived in a state that took seriously the separation of religion from education, unlike many of the Southern states. Good thing too, because Sundays were always dirt bike riding days. Probably 30 weekends a year we…

Apple Mail Madness
A bit of a rant here, sorry. I use Google for my personal domain(s) email service. Google Apps is a good deal, even for the two accounts my wife and I use. Solid performance, wicked good junk filtering, and they do a great job of detecting phishing and spearphishing attacks. I use the Apple mail…

Cool Music – Devin Townsend
Cool Music A couple years ago, I was turned on to Devin Townsend. I can thank the inimitable Mario Parga for the introduction. I fell completely in love with his music, and quickly snarfed up most of his work. The most interesting was the Devin Townsend Project albums. Each one was distinctive, unique and in…

Selling your house blues
I have been griping a lot lately about the hassle of selling your house. It really is a pain in the ass for a number of reasons: You can’t “live” anymore. You have to clean clutter, and to keep every surface clean, dishes in the dishwasher, clothes folded and put away. So you pack about…
