I met with John Petrucci before the show and had him sign my Ibanez RG guitar. The show was Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci and Joe Satriani. Gilbert and Petrucci were great.

South Park on Evolution

Since I posted Carl Sagan talking about Evolution earlier, here is South Park's version:

Richard Dawkins on the Colbert Report

2006-10-20T02:09:00.000-05:00

Richard Dawkins was on the Colbert Report the other night. Dawkins has picked up the torch once carried by Carl Sagan by speaking publicly to promote science and reason and to discredit the supernatural and superstition. As always, Colbert's satire is priceless.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

Quote of the Day

2006-05-13T23:49:00.000-05:00

It is more convenient to follow one's conscience than one's intelligence, for at every failure, conscience finds an excuse and an encouragement in itself. That is why there are so many conscientious and so few intelligent people.

Driving to California: Day 2

I made it. I'll add some comments later.

Driving to California: Day 1

2006-05-01T02:42:00.000-05:00

What a crappy day to drive. Illinois was rainy until I hit Springfield and then it rained buckets at the Missouri-Oklahoma border. I made it all the way to Amarillo in 15 hours. I managed to get a few pictures.

Flash game for the Air Force Reserve

2006-04-17T09:38:00.000-05:00

This is a flash web game Seb and I did for an Air Force Reserve proposal. There are only 5 levels to show off the basic gameplay. Seb did all the art, I did the programming. I got the idea from the old moon lander games. Something I would change if there were future revisions, is to add a visual confirmation when you drop a person off at the hospital. There is no way of knowing on level 5 if you have successfully dropped a passenger off. When you land, the passenger should pop up next to the hospital as confirmation.

Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby

2006-04-12T18:10:00.000-05:00

I need to learn how to program in Ruby. Specifically I need to learn 'Ruby on Rails'. I need it on the resume. Ruby is a difficult syntax for those ( like me ) used to C syntax. It would take a delicately written piece of genius tutorialship to sink Ruby syntax into my C-thinking brain. And I believe I have found such genius: Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. Words can't do it justice, I have already said too much.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
