  • A Screen Shot

  • Litestep Theme

    Yes, I have been a-theming. Basically, I went in search of a prettier windows desktop about a fortnight ago, and I found litestep. This is a funky replacement for the Explorer desktop which allows you to load some pretty themes. The problem was, none of them matched what I wanted to do, so I thought…

  • Jesux – Linux for Fundies.

    Jesux Relax, it’s a joke. Black Xanthus

  • From a Founding Father

    I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and by men who are equally certain that they represent the divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in the belief, and perhaps in some respects, both. I hope it will not be irreverent of me to say…

  • And Plato Said:

    “We will be better and braver if we engage and inquire than if we indulge in the idle fancy that we already know — or that it is of no use seeking to know what we do not know.” — Plato

  • OBE’s And NDE’s – Place holder

    As physician Dr. Melvin Morse wrote, “Simply because religious experiences are brain-based does not automatically lessen or demean their spiritual significance.

Morse, M.D., Melvin. “The Right Temporal Lobe and Associated Limbic Lobe Structures As…

  • A Critique of God

    http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=70390909 Found on the site “Ethical Atheists”. It claims to be the only anthology that is a critique of the exsistence of God (the book, not the site). I thought I’d give it a read, or at least, try to squeeze it in in my already buzzy, and full, reading list. It deserves to be…

  • From our good friends at fortune

    An American scientist once visited the offices of the great Nobel prize winning physicist, Niels Bohr, in Copenhagen.
