The Definition of Marriage

Canada will legalize gay marriage despite a majority of their citizenship opposing the measure. But gay marriage is a misnomer. Marriage already has a definition. What homosexual lobby wants to do is redefine marriage.

I don’t mind if gay couples want to get “hitched” or “joined” or another term. But God is the one who designed marriage to be the building block of the family, which then builds a society. When people defy God’s design, it is they that are then hurt by those choices. This isn’t the only time when marriage is harmed. Every time people promise, “I do” and then don’t, marriage is deteriorated.

I’m curious to see if gay unions can achieve greater longevity than their hetero counterparts. The sad thing is, it’s only 7.2 years to begin with.

Matrix Abridged

Here’s a semi-funny abridged script of Matrix: Reloaded. Apparently the battle to label the movie as a abysmal failure vs. a remarkable achivement, wages on.

Are you serious? It’s against the law to breast feed while driving?!? Oh, ok… only in Ohio. Scheew.

Pixar Wins Again with Nemo

Finding Nemo is another success. Pixar really has the knack for these pictures. Voice acting is great, animation top-notch and the story is enough to keep you engaged. The only DVDs I currently have are The Matrix and Fellowship of the Rings, but I need to round up all these great Pixar films. Great stuff.

DVD Confusion, Gets Some Help

Any time I come across useful information that took me more than a few seconds to find, I feel the need to document it. Thus, the differences between DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W and DVD-RAM and DVDHelp.us are helpful resources.

Driving Broadband

Simply a sad state of affairs. And all the while I thought it was Quake. *wink*

BTW, I noticed that Rick Bruner over at MarketingFix cited a c|net study, Children deluged with spam, just days after I posted on the same topic. To me, this is a no-brainer. I wrote my representatives, did you?

How to Squash the Spams

More news on the spam front. Now Senator Chuck Schumer of New York has a bill before Congress with measures to create a Do Not Spam list a la the Do Not Call list currently under development by the FTC. Seems he wasn’t that interested in this topic until he witnessed his 14-year-old daughter checking her email account. Nothing like first-hand experience, huh? But I think the best solutions generally come from people most knowledgable on the topic. Until the senders have a vested interest (cost) in the situation, they’ll find ways around the law.

He’s Got Skillz

Clearly, some video games exercise the mind more than others. So when “experts” report that gamers perform better on “visual skills tests”, how many of us are surprised?

America Should Support the Innocent

Like I noted last week, Hamas isn’t too fond of the entire Jewish race, to put it mildly. Today another homocide (not suicide) bomber killed at least 16 people on a bus in Jerusalem. Isreal replied by bombing a car carrying two Hamas officials. Clearly the fighting is not going to stop. But the interesting point is that Isreal is targeting the terrorist organization’s leaders, while Hamas targets innocent civilians. That’s a big difference. America shouldn’t have any trouble determining which side we most closely resemble.

Commericals as Art

Apparently, this domino-style Accord commercial was done completely without special effects or editing. 606 takes. Patience is a virtue, truly.

Dreaming in 4D

If you have some spare time (and a brain the size of Montana) you might want to download the Magic Cube 4D. But just so you know, it’s a bit tricky.

Cherry Bomb

North Korea admits to nuke plans, and these aren’t those little Cherry Bombs we’d set of in the cul-de-sac. Woosh! Time to send in James Bond?
