A students thoughts on the iPad

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Written via my iPhone. Forgive any typos, grammatical errors, or punctuation mistakes.
All ratings are out of five stars.
Name *
The first thing I must mention is the terrible name, I think everyone agrees on this point, except, apparently, Apple themselves. While iSlate was an ok name (I wasn’t thrilled) iPad just makes me cringe. A buddy [...]

Random Thoughts from these past few weeks

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Eh, this was all written via my iPhone and transferred over to wordpress, forgive any typos/grammatical errors/punctuation errors. I didn’t check for them (not that I ever really do).
I’ve been away for a while; I find myself distracted often by books, music.  These two distractions I don’t mind so much… they’re productive and I “live” [...]

Emergent… it’s time to start looking for a saddle (a death of post)

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

There’s a couple things I want to mention before I start.
First, since my posts now go to facebook as notes, I’ve gotten some more personal responses from people that didn’t read my blog previously but have been following me since I started moving into the facebook area as well. To these people, and to a [...]

The Hopeful Skeptic

Monday, January 11th, 2010

My friend, Nick Fielder, recently released his book, “The Hopeful Skeptic“, and he’ll be speaking at the Cobb Emergent Cohort tomorrow.
I bring this up for a couple reasons, one because I like Nick, I drank his booze and swam in his pool once, but mostly because I’ve been talking recently about my own agnosticism quite [...]

Why I don’t believe in god–pt3: Design

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Again, many of my more philosophically inclined friends have summarily dismissed the “proof theories” as worthless rubbish, and I acknowledge that, but they’ll need to forgive me for continuing on with these posts. These friends of mine are not the intended audience for these posts, the posts are more of a personal clarification of the [...]

Project 365

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Beginning tomorrow, I’m going to launch a bit of a side project. This next year should be an interesting one for me, and I want to document it, so I’ll be taking part in something called “project 365.” Each day of the year I’ll be taking a photo and putting it online, keeping track of [...]

Why I am Agnostic, pt 2–causality

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I mentioned, in a comment yesterday, that I had jumped the ship of theism about a year ago, and had somehow gotten caught up in trailing the ship for some time after that. The next few posts will discuss how those remaining ties were severed, and I’ll probably end with something on why I am [...]

Why I Am Agnostic

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

I talked a bit about why I am not a Christian, and a bit about the Christ I see and follow, now I’d like to begin stepping into why I don’t believe in god. I’d like to thank everyone that’s read these posts so far, all the comments I have received have been of good [...]

Why I am not a Christian (pt 2)

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I like Jesus. There are no other ways about that.
I like the Jesus my friends talk about, the one who cares about people that most people don’t care about. I like the Jesus that hangs out with the rejects, the losers, the weak, the unclean, because I see myself in all of these categories. I [...]

Why I am not a Christian

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I bought Bertrand Russel’s “Why I Am Not a Christian” today. I had gone in looking for some Kierkegaard and a book of logic puzzles (they’re calming for me), I think I shocked myself with the selection I walked out with. (I did get the logic puzzle book though)
Why would I pick up “Why I [...]
