Pro-religion comments cannot be well argued

I was reading through some blog comments just now and the thread was getting heated with respect to believers versus atheists when this little gem of a comment popped out of nowhere.  It is beautiful and perfect.

A pro-religious comment cannot (by its very own nature) be well-argued, as it is not based on [...]

CoalCares.org – Brilliant Anti-Coal Satire

I stumbled upon coalcares.org and was beside myself with mirth.  What an utterly brilliant website.  It absolutely reams the “clean coal” movement with its painfully heartless text and offerings.  “Baby’s First Inhaler”.  Pure gold.

My First Inhaler

Food & Wine + Disney Dining Plan = Crazy Delicious

This past 10 day trip was our first experience with both 1) The Epcot Food & Wine Festival, and 2) The Disney Dining Plan

I am not a foodie by any means.  To me, vacation is about experiences, not eating.  I would gladly eat ham sandwiches all day if it meant I could have [...]

Atheists know more about religion than you

By Mitchell Landsberg, Los Angeles Times

Rediscovering Classic Literature

Treasure Island

The memory databanks of my iPod Touch are usually stuffed with music, apps, and Harry Potter books. Yep, Harry Potter. I can state without reservation that my all time favorite audiobooks are the first four Harry Potter books as read by Jim Dale. Those readings will (hopefully) forever transport my mind [...]

Happiest Curves of Blue From The Sky

It’s been 2 years since I last featured my favorite bit of Internet text. So it’s about time. I came across this on the site Epinions.com just after it launched. It was so amazing to me that I’ve kept it all these years. Something about it really draws me in and makes me feel. [...]

Surprisingly Good Hip Hop Song

Being 30-something, you can imagine how much I actively try to avoid most of the inner city type of music being played on the radio these days. Don’t get me wrong, occasionally something extraordinarily good will rise to the surface and make it onto my playlist.

Long ago there was 2Pac’s “California Love”, more [...]

Companies that Get It: Woodworkers Source

Now this is what I’m talking about.  I love interacting with companies that “get it”.  They recognize that experience is key.  Pure, sterile functionality works, but experience makes an impression.  If you’ve read below, you will know that I recently placed an order for some small pieces of craft wood from an unknown (to [...]

Kahiki: The World’s Most Beautiful

And it’s true too.  Awesome place that no longer exists.  I found a match box the other day though and decided to scan it for posterity.  Kahiki was in Columbus, OH and you can find out more about it by clicking here <– old skool link!

Del-Monte Fruit Naturals Are Awesome

I’m not a fruit eater.  It’s not that I don’t like fruit because I do.  But there are a couple of compounded reasons why I don’t prefer to eat fruit:

I tend to avoid foods that require removal of sections that you can’t consume.  Example: skinless chicken breasts instead of chicken on the bone.  [...]
