Happy Christmas
Friday, December 25th, 2009Just Typical
Thursday, December 24th, 2009Typical isn’t it. I mentioned in my previous post how it seems no one talking about how removing our dependance on oil would be a good thing overall, and almost straight away I’m stumbling around the internet and happen upon this:

Anthropogenic Global Climate Change
Thursday, December 24th, 2009I’ve been trying to decide if I should post something about Global Warming (or Anthropogenic Global Climate Change AGCC – my preferred moniker) for a while now. Following a couple of posts by leading sceptic James Randi (see here and here) which cause a little bit of a storm amongst the sceptic community I thought I’d add my own twist on the matter (although I doubt it’ll cause even a ripple).
Christmas Season, and I’m feeling grumpy!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Actually, I’m not really, but I do have to admit that the spirit of the season hasn’t really gripped me yet. Oh well, it will once I finish work for the rest of the year I’m sure.
One thing that is annoying me however is the propensity for web sites to add stupid little ‘Snow’ animations. You know the sort, you visit the page and a few seconds later you start to see flakes of ‘snow’ falling down from the top. Personally I find these sorts of things really annoying, and tend to drive me away from the website. Doesn’t help though that I am an avid Stumbler, so I seem to regularly arrive at such sites. Then to top it all off Steam started doing it too. GAH!
Oh well, I’ll just have to suffer in silence as usual!
Now, if only it would snow in real life then I’d have something to smile about. I love the stuff, but never get any of any consequence where I live. I’m not asking for much, maybe a foot of it. Just enough to make a proper sized snow man and instigate a real snowball fight. 
Atheism is the New Fundamentalism – IQ2 debate
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009I’ve just watched this debate, and for the most part it was quite good.
