Month: December 2006

  • Unless you’ve been living in a hole the past few months and haven’t heard, Saddam Hussein was hung earlier this morning for crimes against humanity as determined by the Iraqi people.  So far I’ve heard two stories/reactions to his execution (aren’t there always at least two sides?): that this was justice being served as he was convicted by an Iraqi court and then the other side is that this is juat an eye-for-an-eye.  We (those who want him hung) have reverted to revenge and so the next step would be Saddam’s supporters are to take revenge somehow.  Where does it end?

    I personnally am somewhat torn on this idea.  I favor the fact that a court had found him guilty and this was his punishment.  But as a Christian where does my sympathy and forgiveness come into play?  Do I forgive but accept the idea of an earthly death as punishment or favor the idea of letting Christ be the judge and juror for all things?  Obviously, this same idea can be brought forth to any person who commits a crime against man.  Anyways, I just pray that no further conflict comes from this.

    On a different note, the Japanese are testing RFID’s for shopping purposes.  As cool as RFID’s are they’re not that secure.  Anyone with a reader could be gathering all those signals/data for whatever purpose they could think of.  I think I’m just getting more and more paranoid. 

  • Naughty or Nice?  Did you know that the animals at the National Zoo have their own Holiday wish list(I guess the Zoo is being PC and not calling it a Christmas list even if the Washington Post article that I read has ‘Dear Santa’ in the title)

  • It’s always Global Warmings fault.  Well maybe it is in this case.

    There maybe hope for us all.  Unless the bird flu hits firsts. 

  • From Sharka and Sebastian…


    Merry Christmas!

    May you remember the Lord Jesus’
    Birthday everytime that you draw breath.
    For He is our Savior and Redeemer!

  • How do you feel about Christmas?  Is it just harmless fun?  Enjoying the consumerism of giving and receiving gifts?  You find the Christmas service you may attend with a friend a trendy date?  These were some of the responses from those living in China where freedom of religion is somewhat controlled.  How does understanding what others think about the day Jesus Christ was born affect the way you minister to non-believers (or even believers)?

  • Apparently there is an unofficial/Fan-made version of the latest Transformers trailer with Peter Cullen voice as Optimus Prime at the end.  It’s weird hearing the original Optimus Prime since Gary Chalk has been Prime’s voice for the past 10 years.

  • SWEEEET!  The newest Transformers movie trailer is out!  Background music could have been better but it looks pretty good.  Definitely not your G1 storyline. 

  • More USB gadget goodness.  USB rechargeable batteries by Moixa.  They’re only 1,300mAH but the idea that they can be recharge via a USB port or through a normal NiMH recharger is pretty neato.

    Looking to encourage a home garden but you’ve got the death touch to anything green?  No frets!  Get the Aero Garden.  It’s got proven NASA technology in it!  Oooooooooooh.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaah.   (I must watch way too many infomercials.)

      Joseph Barbera, half of the Hanna-Barbera animation team has died of natural causes.  He helped create classic characters such as the Flintstones, Tom & Jerry, the Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo, etc.

  • Bill Clinton Killed Santa

  • Too many funny items:

    1. The Wii controller could be dangerous to your TV!  At least they’re going to replace the strap for you.
    2. In 200 years I could weigh 1,000 pounds!!!!  Good thing I’ve gotten past that dating thing.
    3. Renaissance Artist vs Ninja Turtles
