“Madison Rising,” is indeed amazing, if by “amazing” we mean “almost unbearably bad to listen to.” It’s like Nickelback if Nickelback sucked 1000 times more than Nickelback.

In Defense of Intelligent Design
Author: BobR    Date: 2014-03-26 10:18:42

By now, it's pretty well known that the anti-evolution crowd is upset about the new "Cosmos" show. They feel that their Biblical version of creation of man is being ignored, and want equal time. They want "Cosmos" to discuss what they call "Intelligent Design". That descriptor replaces "creationism" as it implies perhaps not a literal interpretation of the creation story in Genesis, but one that still places the design of creation and the creation of Man in the hands of God.

As a software engineer, designer, developer, and architect, I know a thing or two about intelligent design. A good software program is designed to be reusable, extensible, modular, adaptable, and scale-able. Let's look at a few aspects of that.

Faith Finally comes to the South
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 03/23/2014 13:35:17

Many people consider the South to be the "Bible Belt" but as any real Southerner can tell you that is far from the truth. I mean, not unless there's a different Bible that I've never seen.

One of the tenets of this thing called "Christianity" (named after a hippie looking guy that today would labeled a possible Islamic Terrorist by many) is that we should help the poor.
I know, it's pretty laughable to think that those of us that have a roof over our heads and some food in our stomach should actually get off our couches and help the poor. Just amazing. Hold on. I need to purchase this thing I need off the interwebs.

Good Morning.

Well, spring has sprung (allegedly) and Waltham Youth Soccer wants to try our mettle today. Pretty soon we'll be bundled up for winter camp and huddling together in small clumps of humanity while our child runs around the frozen tundra that will pass for a soccer pitch and his first practice of the season this morning, but I digress.

We're going to talk about missing planes today, but we'll start on the opposite of the world from where you might think.

Theory Reality
Author: BobR    Date: 2014-03-19 10:31:21

The missing plane of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 has certainly captured the imagination of the public. It's so odd for jetliners to simply disappear without a trace (and it wasn't even in the Bermuda Triangle). Questions of how inevitably lead to questions of why, and those are the hardest to discern without getting the answer straight from the horse's mouth.

There have been a lot of ideas floated around, from hijacking to terrorism to an electrical fire to mid-air identity swaps. Little snippets of facts about the pilots' personal lives get held aloft like championship trophies, and then dissected and examined for potential insight. There are two key facts, though that make this curious: The plane's flight path was changed 12 minutes before the last voice transmission, and residents in the Maldives reported a low flying jet matching the description of the "Lost" plane.
