  While we’re remembering all those folks who got sampled to transition from the owmb on this calendar date, it seems also appropriate to pass on some sentiment to all the MegaHard serfs out there: The promise of a free OS is accurate. All you have to lose is some skull sweat and intellectual chains.

  This reminded me of all the folks I know who have birthday anniversaries today. So HBA to Current Denisty and Speed of Light and Isaac. And sympathies to Joshua for having his birthday anniversary moved for organizational reasons.

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  Back when I was working for the Yankee army there was a rather senior general who believed he was so busy that the only time he had to think was when he was running. And he also believed that what he thought while his brain was flushed with all those biochemical byproducts of exercise was particularly relevant; or ...

  der Blaustrumpf — Authority: 112
  Here’s a QOTD, apropos my recent  post on Robert Higgs defending himself against charges of pessimism: One thing you notice more and more the longer you hang around this sleazy world is the way mainstream types can’t admit to the obvious. They always have to act shocked. And if you say you weren’t surprised, ...

• The Death of Santa

  
  Heidelblog — Authority: 561
  Originally published on the HB 22 Dec 2008.As a young boy I certainly believed in Santa. We made the annual cookie oblation and went to bed under the conditional covenant that he would not come if we did not sleep (or at least stay in bed). Nevertheless, I think I began to doubt the faith earlier [...]

• Tree Guilt

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  Remembering the bumper sticker “Kill A Commie For Christ” popular when I was an undergraduate, this one strikes similarly. Especially if you consider how much harm is done by taking such a large number of trees for this egotistical, emo prupose. One more ill of humans to blame on kings.

• News at Gym

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  The season seems to have taken a bit of a humorous turn. This morning at gym, in observing the structured photon flood from the monster monitors of the walls, I thought the advertised Three Stooges Marathon had started. Upon closer observation this was disproven since the channel in question was Reynard News and there ...

  Macenstein — Authority: 423
  Well, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, and while Tiger Woods’ business manager, accountants, and wife might disagree, EA Sports might not. Take a look at the graph below (from appshopper) which charts the sales of Electronic Art’s Tiger Woods Golf for the iPhone over the last 30 days. As you can ...

• 2009 Hall of Shame Inductees

  
  Blogs — Authority: 161
  Three words have been weighing heavily on my mind lately: unconscionable, outrage, and cynicism. I havent used unconscionable too often in my life; its an extreme and unforgiving descriptor. But in the last year (okay, the last decade really, but you have to let go sometime), unconscionable has been a steady mantra ...

• Say What?

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  Monday is when I listen to a podcast episode of CBC’s “The Best of Ideas” at gym and this morning the subject of the podcast, from a couple of months ago – packratting – was genetic screening. The format was a panel discussion of three medicalists. Two things came through loud and somewhat clear: Current ...

  The Undercurrent — Authority: 117
  President Obama has received praise from left and right for his speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Commentators applauded Obama’s recognition that force and war are sometimes necessary to secure peace. Obama openly states that evil exists in the world, and that force is sometimes the only way to eradicate that ...

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  Again, my reason is the press of the season, but even with such eventually something reaches us and gathers in the attention span. I noted yesterday an article about research at U Granada that reports “Those students who think aloud while solving a mathematical problem can solve it faster and have more ...

• If This Dog Bit Someone…

  
  Smartdogs' Weblog — Authority: 464
  Press reports would be filled with diatriabe about another ”pitbull’ attack. But – because he’s a hero who took three bullets to save his owner … he’s just a dog . The linked story is the only one I found that mentioned the dog’s breed (boxer mix).  I’m sure that if this dog had been ...

  American Conservative Daily — Authority: 463
  By John W. Lillpop Most Christmas music provides a spiritual blessing to those who wish to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.

• Intelligence = Stupidity?

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  This has not been a good week for blogging. Too much leading edge turbulence for the upcoming peak. Plus my annual ritual inspection of the teeth was this week and while the matter should have been of minor concern it was nonetheless disproportionately stressful. Somewhere along the way of our developing intelligence ...
