Scott Adams cracks me up

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Laffed my ass off at this over brekky this morning. Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy, has apparently featured a character called “Jesus” in his recent strips. He is getting LOADS of hate mail, as you can imagine. One was from a Pastor. Here’s Scott’s response:

Hillsong Church and Gloria Jeans linked to MORE abuse claims

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Cait from TPN’s Global Geek podcast (and one of the original MODM’ers) pointed me to this story in the news today (see article below).
This link between Hillsong Church and Gloria Jeans isn’t new to me.
I blogged about it back in 2005. I was wondering why that post was getting so many hits today!

Radio Lab Knocks It Out Of The Park Yet Again

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

This episode of Raido Lab on deception is just brilliant - as they usually are - in it’s choice of subject matter, it’s production approach, selection of guests, editing - everything. Really drives me crazy how good these folks are, in an inspiring kind of way. Makes me ask the question “how can I [...]

Obama Is Just Like The Rest

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

And there you have it. From the below BBC report, it’s clear that Obama isn’t any different from Bush. When it was reported that his pastor made critical remarks about the US’s track record in international affairs, Obama distanced himself from them, saying he denounces any statement that disparages “our great country”. He can’t [...]

Zen Geometry

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

The kids and I went to The Blue Train Cafe today (my last visit to one of my long-time favourite Melbourne haunts) for lunch and I took my geometry kit. This is one of my favourite ways to relax. There is something about working out basic platonic solids and golden ratio designs, armed with [...]
