The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog.
During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, [...]
I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)!
The Acting
This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]
Eliot Spitzer resigned his post as Governor of New York State in the wake allegations surrounding his involvement in a prostitution ring. [wikipedia - may be graphic] [AP] This scandal has really rocked New York politics, and living in Albany it’s all we’ve heard on the news this week.
Here’s the short version: Spitzer [...]
I like the Earth… don’t get me wrong… but I don’t like Earth Day.
It’s the politics. Rather than a day dedicated to the otherwise noble pursuit of conscientious living, Earth Day is an event laden in politics and alarmism. Under the guise of appropriate global stewardship schools and institutions push left-tainted propaganda that [...]

So one of the founders of Greenpeace, an environmentalist wacko organization that does more harm than good in more ways than I could possible scratch with a solid day of typing… and will henceforth be lovingly referred to as GreenBleach, just came out of the proverbial closet in favor of nuclear power. Why? [...]
I finished a great book recently (and indeed many of you probably thought it was a permanent addition to my ‘Currently Reading’ due to my procrastination)… it’s called The Right Thing by Retired Navy Commander Scott Waddle. You may recognize his name as the CO of the USS Greeneville, a nuclear submarine that collided [...]
It’s only the 13th of the year but this already seems old (isn’t politics like that?)… so without further putzin’ around let me post a link to JibJab.com’s latest flash movie called 2-0-5. I saw this premiere live during the Tonight Show (I think) on New Year’s Eve (I think… I wasn’t even drinking [...]
Web designer and developer. Loud discerner. Software engineer and 
Yeah… that one got me good.
