I deny afterlife, reincarnation or rebirth. But…
I think I really am a Buddhist after all.
Because, you know, those four truths work, make sense; and the path just seems reasonable.
Besides, how hard is it for an atheist to align with a “religion” that rejects the existence of a soul while at the same time affirming the […]

It’s all over the wire today that there are quantitative differences to be found in brain development between kids who have been diagnosed as ADHD and those who have not.
A longitudinal study by NIMH and McGill University seems to show that nearly 225 kids aged 6 to 16 have less dense neuronal structure if they’ve […]
just proves I need to look into that Guitar Hero thing all the kids seem to like.
Because, godfuckitall, I could so play this. And sing it. Yeah, kick your hairless little asses right into next Tuesday.

Fogerty at his best. Pure clean CCR.
Yeah, more running. But why not? Jesus, these guys were good. Jesus, these guys were good.

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lord, it’s all so true.
They told me don’t go walkin’ slow, the devil’s on the loose.
Better run through the jungle.
Whoa, don’t look back to see.

The second prettiest song I think New Order has ever done.
The guitars, the guitars especially, the guitars.
Answer me
Why won’t you answer me?
I can’t recall the day that I last heard from you.
Well, you don’t get a town like this for nothing, so here’s what you’ve got to do:
You work your way to the top […]
It’s not every day that you look out from your bedroom window and see someone getting busted by the cops.
At least, I would hope not.
But now, it’s happened to me twice.
Years ago in Tucson I had a bust happen, literally, on my porch. I heard scuffling, words like I got him, and went outside when […]
Vezzosi said previous research has indicated the hands of the Apostles in the painting can be substituted with the notes of a Gregorian chant, though so far no one had tried to work in the bread loaves.

John Couey has been sentenced to death. We can expect appeals, of course, and this one might test the system a bit. If there’s anyone who’s a candidate for state-ordered killing, though, I think he’s it.

Published by August 22nd, 2007 in Huh.. 0 CommentsFrom the Department of Meaningless Coincidences:
One in four adults read no books at all in the past year, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Tuesday.
It’s not as obvious as you might think. The story goes on to detail some of the demographics. The 25% of self-admitted annual illiterates does not, in fact, overlap the […]
Today, August 16th of 2006, I took The Indigestible online once more after a multiple-year hiatus.
To me, it doesn’t seem like a year has passed.
To you, of course, it might well seem much, much longer.

The Interesting Interaction of Vision and Language
Published by August 10th, 2007 in Huh., One Thousand Words and Advertising Matters. 0 CommentsRecently there was a progressive open house at the Medical Professional Center, a more or less satellite facility to the hospital here where physicians have private practices. The idea was that, in order to publicize a half dozen recently-arrived physicians, there would be a sort of food scavenger hunt from office to office.
Beginning with beverages, […]
The last time I wrote about John Couey was March of this year, after he’d been found guilty of the rape and ghastly murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford.
