No, the world isn’t coming to an end… yet. I’ll just be gone for the next two weeks. In the biz, we call it intermittent posting. Just call me the b’sphere’s Al Roker.
Cheers!

I’m officially trippin’. Yeah, that’s an old school phrase but it’s just CRAZY to think we’re having a baby girl. I thought we only made boys? I wonder if God swapped out some DNA somewhere along the line?
We’re so grateful she (she?) is healthy, as far as we can tell. Thanks to everyone for [...]

Operation Athena raids
Have you seen this?!? “The Metropolitan Police Service has this morning 21 May 2008 carried out raids across London to tackle domestic, homophobic and race hate crime.” Raids? Can you say Gestapo?!? A crime is a crime. Trying to interpret intent is giant can of worms.

Wow, just when you think things couldn’t get more strange. The attack on Christianity continues in our country as Tennessee’s Department of Education deems that high school diplomas issued by homeschooling situations (and some Christian schools) aren’t sufficient for state jobs.

“Cindy Benefield, the Tennessee Department of Education Executive Director [...]

Arcania: A Gothic Tale First Look
The first Gothic game was very good, surprisingly, then fell down a flight of stairs on the sequel. Therefore, I shall not be purchasing the next installment until it receives some very gaudy ratings.

Rumor: EA asks what fans want from Rock Band 2
Give the people what they want! Did you hear that Konami is coming out with a competitor called Rock Revolution? Here’s the rub: “Unlike Guitar Hero and Rock Band, however, it is being reported that all the tracks included will be covers rather than originals.” Uh… [...]

Once again, wisdom from the FRC.
California Marriage Law: 4,618,673 to Four
After a brief period of judicial restraint, California voters watched in horror this afternoon as judicial activism returned with a vengeance in one of the most egregious rulings in American jurisprudence. It took just four activist judges to overturn the historical definition of marriage, not [...]

Lights: The Last Thing On Your Mind
Not typically my style but I think this song is haunting. It’s from a Kohl’s spot and you can tell this girl just wrote it on her keyboard in her bedroom.

Dark City isn’t a great movie. But it is a great idea poorly done. In fact, it has so much in common with The Matrix, one of my all-time favorites, that I wanted to see when it was created. IMDb tells me 1998. Hey, wasn’t Matrix made just one year later?
I’ve got 24 dollars that [...]

“This three-minute video created by EggMan consists of images from 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art.”
Not sure it’s as much an issue of how artists see subjects, as how women look different from one another. I guess you could say in part, it’s how certain subjects are chosen?
