Kids make the darndest religious Internet sex references

January 4th, 2008 – 12:21 pm

My five-year-old daughter goes to a preschool/daycare that wasn’t, when we signed up for it, outwardly religious. We were careful to ensure a place that wouldn’t impart any specific religious biases on her so we can do our best to give her a well-rounded view of religion.
Without our choice, though, she was eventually transferred to […]

TurboFool.com - Now with more awards!

September 25th, 2007 – 5:12 pm

I just read an article on Guardian Unlimited on how easily the author, as well as another more recent “software developer,” was able to win a “prestigious” award for his software… software which doesn’t actually exist.
I recommend you follow the link for the full details, but he merely submitted information about his software, DBXV, to […]

Images, in particular, have abbreviations for words like small (s, or sm), medium (m, or md, or med), large (l, or lg), thumbnail (th, or thumb, etc.), and other common attributes.

Apparently the followers of a group known as the “Creation Science [sic] Evangelism Ministries,” led by currently imprisoned tax evasionist Kent Hovind, have been sending false DMCA copyright takedown requests to YouTube on any and all videos that dare to suggest that creationism is anything but non-scientific garbage.

I’m not going to lie and say this video is brilliant. But it is fun, there’s some genuine talent here, and it holds meaning to me.
The guy on left was Mike Nolasco. He was a member of the local Geek Squad and someone I considered a friend, although I hadn’t gotten to know him as […]

This is a video, circa 1993, about this new-fangled thing so many people are starting to take an interest in. What’s interesting is how the comments from the users of this unusual new medium parallel things we hear, think, and feel on a daily basis now. Check it out:
