Who are you people?

From a recent Newsweek poll: Nearly half (48 percent) of the public rejects the scientific theory of evolution; one-third (34 percent) of college graduates say they accept the Biblical account of creation as fact. Seventy-three percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view.

Who the fuck are you people? 10,000 years! Morons...

Clever signs

We all know I love signs. LOVE 'EM. So it's no wonder that I love this web site.

A headline I never wanted to read

"Scientists Create Sheep That Are 15 Percent Human"

Well. I guess it could be worse. It could read "Scientists Create Humans That Are 15 Percent Sheep".

Oh wait. We already have those: born-again Republicans.

I gotta long way to go...

I was listening to Gary Dyson's version of The Heart Sutra and thought, just thought for a moment there, that I was getting it. Understanding it.

Sh*t. Sez to me I gotta long way to go.

The Episcopal Church supports gay rights!

Hats off to the Episcopal Church for standing up for gay rights! I've never been prouder of the church I grew up in. And I ain't even Christian any more.

We got audited.

Yes, the beaurocrats in Olympia decided in their infinite wisdom (sic) that Azalea Software deserved an audit. It seems they doubted we were paying enough sales and use tax into the state coffers. Right...

No, the bozo they sent out didn't send a letter in advance as he promised outlining what he was looking for and what he wanted us to prepare in advance. So we wasted a whole day doing the step'n'fetch it for this dude. What a waste. As if we're not going to strongly contest the $10K bill he left in his wake.

The best part was proving to him that no, we don't sell a lot of software in the state of Washington. Why? Because we sell a ton worldwide. No, we don't "manufacture" shrinkwrap products. Why? Cuz everyone buys off the net. As in ESD. Duh.

Bryan's new web site

Nothing makes a nerd happier than having one (or more) of his kids grow up to be nerds. Bryan's well on his way as evidence by his new web site, full of gadget reviews, game reviews, and movie reviews.

The best part? It ain't MySpace but a real web site.

Got Milk?

Got milk?

Amazon by ISBN-13

I love books. You probably do too.

While I love Amazon.com I must confess I use it as a research tool on my way to the Seattle Public Library or Elliott Bay Books. Gotta support those local bookstores. In some ways, to me Amazon is to books what IMDb is to Netflix: a reference tool.

Now you can search amazon.com by ISBN number. Kewl, hunh?

Halliburton



If Halliburton in Dubai = True Then
  Greed = Greed^2
Else
  news = False
End If

zonkdogfology, the word of the day

I love a good search engine like Google as much as the next guy. My pal here put a pig in the pipes. A GooglePig if you will.

Ha, ha. Funny, funny.

Home Sweet Home

Tibetan prayer flags make a house a home
Sometimes it's the small things that turn a house into a home. Things like Tibetan prayer flags.
