Can I Be Your Lover

You can hear the rumble of the crowd and at first the stage seems a bit empty with her standing solo on acoustic guitar. But she charges through with such power and honesty… I miss the girl…

Geek Mindmap

I don’t have time to work on my e-Harmony profile or actively pursue that whole thing… but I seem to have time to contemplate future tech improvements of my home system. I originally got the white board to help me map out my FS course plan, but it looks like it’s been drafted to first …

Finding Center

I uploaded my first modules for my course this afternoon. Sigh. Needless to say, the crush to get the course up and running has been getting heavier and heavier over the past weeks day-by-day. Adding insult to injury, over the past week I got a new 320GB hard drive just dying to be installed into …

Another Problematic SL Presentation

Another Second Life presentation, a different set of problems. This time it really wasn’t Second Life itself, but because the room’s Internet access was flaky, my Avatar was stuck floating in the air and couldn’t be moved at all to the venue where the virtual presentation was taking place.

Hard and Soft Approaches to God & Religion

It’s recently come to my attention that I have an addiction. I’m guessing that this addiction flew under the radar before because I was never in a position to indulge it, but for some time now I’ve been spending more and more time… watching videos… on TED. As I previously noted the horror of all …

Where Did the Idealism Fail?

I’ve been watching the Olympics over the past week and I’ve been “feeling the love,” global style. Funny thing is when the NBC AM news shows do their profiles from China they tend to talk about China as if they’ve just discovered something new. Anyway, all of this positive vibe made me think about global …
