Simply amazing. Opening up a jar of peanut butter is the same as millions of years of time passing in the world’s environment.
Over a billion experiments over a hundred years. And the food industry depends that life doesn’t occur.
Amazing. A little bit of knowledge is heinously dangerous.

I don’t give a shit about the third of the trinity. Just today, Pope Republican the Rightwinger has announced Limbo is no longer in the doctrine, and that all those little children that have been punished waiting outside the doors of heaven and hell, now magically have been ushered inside the door.
For what it’s worth, I think Christianity has lost one of it’s most potent memes to enslave the minds of people - you must SUFFER for your [made-up, hokus-pocus] Religion, or it holds no power over you. No one used to be safe without baptism and obeying the clergy. Now… the innocent children have an out.
So, I urge you to take the Blasphemy Challenge and lift the mental shackles.
Like this woman has, or this guy, or this dog. Or this thoughtfully edited declaration.
What’s really sad is that I’ve found out about this 5 months after it occured.
And when you’re done, take a further step and declare yourself Bright!
So here I go on a rant
1) Development is time consuming. Ever since I bailed on OpenLaszlo, I’ve been mucking around with Flex. Learning an IDE with a new language (along with the crap that’s been happening at my day job) has been a nightmare.
2) Now that I FINALLY have the legal issues out of the way, I’ve been too busy (see under: “crap that’s been happening at my day job”) to get back to the artists and get them going.
3) Last but not least, I’m needing to buy software to get my website up and running. This, my friends, is the biggest nightmare ever. $1000’s of bucks for Adobe products, or 1000s of hours learning the GIMP. I love opensource development. I love the people who do it. I hate their products. For f*ck’s sake, FINISH a product before you start adding cool features.
Or, as my friends point out, I could steal the software. This, of course, is the worse idea of all. And I don’t recommend it to anyone.
’nuff of my whining.
