I thought the WP htaccess RegEx was a hoot… until I saw this. Time for a recursive acronym: “REGEX Exceeds Great EXpectations.” For the record I know no perl, and regular expressions are all RegEx (Greek, in case the allusion to the expression is missed) to me. How does a perl-guy’s mind parse through this?… Continue reading this entry
This is for you, Nathan. [...] I have made the general argument in my book Rocks of Ages (Ballantine, 1999), a book that expresses the consensus of a great majority of professional scientists and theologians, not an original formulation from my pen. In briefest summary, no dichotomous opposition can exist in logic because science and… Continue reading this entry
Every so often I realize I do need to defend my honor, so I will. Apropos of this comment I shared with Jezechelle over AIM last night, I will have to admit that, on its own, the all-caps comment does sound like such a vulgar reference to God, Jesus and the like: jezechelle: what’s bugging… Continue reading this entry
So I’m breaking my poliblogging hiatus for one post to discuss the name that has become a symbol of what’s everything wrong with government, no matter who’s in charge: Terri Schiavo, or rather, Terri Schiavo’s corpus. Truly the situation has made many a philosopher out of all us (including myself) and questions over the matter… Continue reading this entry

Priced at just $9.98, this TV starter set is being released tomorrow as a marketing gambit by 20th Century Fox Home… Continue reading this entry
I read on a blog somewhere about how back-asswards the Philippines (and most of third-world Asia) is because the long-disbanded Swedish pop band, Abba, remains popular fare in the region. I won’t deny, I won’t tell a lie: I grew up inundated with their songs on the radio and on tape. I won’t be shy… Continue reading this entry
The W1 got a few dust spots behind the plastic lens. The pictures it’s been taking of the sky are hideous; I am, however, able to take bearable photos of other subjects. I’m keeping the camera until the 28th, when it gets shipped off to the Sony service center for repairs. I just pray that… Continue reading this entry
…that by this time Monday night I would be using Novell’s SuSE Linux 9.2. I’ll still dual boot just because I do need some Windows apps that I need for work (desktop publishing applications’learning curves are just too damn high to justify switching and I don’t care what anyone says I don’t trust the GIMP… Continue reading this entry
This past Sunday, I woke up with a dull ache in my foot. This was the morning when my friend and I were to go to the Seat Of The Empire (Washington, D.C.) and I was not going to let a little ankle pain get the better of me. By mid-afternoon of that day the… Continue reading this entry
So what does blogging as a team member at one of my favorite sites feel like? It’s quite refreshing, like a meeting at a bar with friends. Most of my political commentary will be seen there from now on; I think that I am ready, after posting less on my blog, to concentrate on things… Continue reading this entry
