This is what I get for poking around new and interesting web sites. NoBeliefs.org has this mind-blowing (and rather long) discourse on time-travel which evolves rationally into the fate of intelligence and the inevitability, provided we don’t kill ourselves off, of transhuman evolution.
So, don’t make any plans for about an hour, open up your [...]

I would like to introduce you to the Landover Baptist Church website, “Where the Worthwhile Worship, Unsaved Unwelcome,” home of the What Would Jesus Do? thong.Oh, and don’t visit if you really are into God.

Meet the Centaur, the next iteration of the Segway HT. It can travel on two wheels, like a Segway, or when more stability and speed is required, on four wheels like an ATV. It’s battery powered, so it’s quiet and clean and geeky as all hell. I’d ride one.

Verizon has announced plans to extend their fiber to the premises broadband offering to six more cities (alas, not Las Vegas. Yet.) For those of you with short term memory issues, FiOS is capable of speeds up to 30Mbps. Verizon is offering 5Mbps down/2Mbps up for less than most people pay for half the bandwidth, [...]

Right now you can vote for your four favorite games and game characters and two most important early developers. As of my vote, Halo and the Master Chief were in the lead for [...]

I don’t know. I drive past a small camp of homeless persons where the interstate crosses the road on my way to work. I don’t think this person ascribes to the same sort of homelessness. You might not agree but you should read. It’s an eyeopener that demonstrates the power and flexibility of blogging.

Treonauts has a very detailed first look at the new Treo 650, my next phone. Dr. Death is frankly stunned that I am planning on purchasing one so soon after buying my Treo 600, which I find odd, coming from someone who has something like ten skateboards. One man’s treasure is another man’s utterly worthless [...]

Go read Mac Hall.

Apple has introduced the iPod Photo, an iPod with a color screen and the ability to store thousands of your digital photographs and play them back either on the iPod or on a television.
Um. Wow.
Now look, I’m a Mac fan from back in the day, I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid. I’d like to own an [...]
