The Dark Knight

Hands down, probably the best comic movie to date. Ledger was fantastic, Gyllenhaal was brilliant and outshone Tom Cruise’s girl. And the ending just really summed up what Batman is all about. The dude is dead up the dark knight. Spoilers most likely for the comments section.

Advertising + Design > Cost + Learning Curve

In recent years, Apple’s done a fair share of designing pretty products (if not hardware wise the best products) and have substantially increased their exposure to the public with product placement (they’re in Best Buy and Apple Stores) and advertising (no more pretentious posters: now we have the PC Guy vs. the Mac). In all this, Apple’s prices haven’t dropped so much to equate with a PC (that usually gives you more hardware wise). Also, Apple hasn’t bothered much with training in their products beyond the nearest Apple Store Genius but all in all it’s paid off.

Apple is now the third largest computer seller in the United States, bumping Acer to Fourth.

X-Gene

Jeremy Pierce is on his second draft for his paper on mutants and race. See this is what happens when you take a smart philosopher and couple him with a 90’s love of comics. Priceless genius articles that proves, like most of TV and movies these recent days, that the Geeks are in charge.

Ancient Tablet Proves Jesus Wrong?

I figured I should write something about the recent discovery of the Gabriel Tablet as they’re calling it. New York Times asserts that this tablet might actually prove that Christianity isn’t unique with its resurrections claims. What I found interesting about that bit is that most informed Christians don’t make a point of arguing about the uniqueness of the death and resurrection but rather the historicity of the death and resurrection. Let me flesh that out a bit.

Rey’s Wisdom: Meditating On Plants

I’m not a wise man, by far I’m fairly an idiot in a lot of things. But I’ve learned that wisdom is generated by experience and I have 34 years of that (and counting) which results in a bunch of experience that allows me to learn Something. That being the case, I’ll share it with you. Here it goes.

My Swing Vote

On Theologica, my recent haunt of many a high-octane discussion, there’s a thread regarding Christian voting and the abortion issue. The question is if the issue is so central that it will decide your vote. Well me, most definitely. I will always vote against anyone who not only supports abortion but also plans to expand on it. Does that make me religious right? I don’t think and here’s why.

Words That Never Prove Your Point

You ever been to work or maybe a message board when someone has an argument and proves their point in such a way that you’re left scratching your head? Or maybe you have siblings that have triumphantly left the room and you don’t know why: it feels like they won but you’re not sure? Or maybe, you’re the culprit of using tactics that make you feel icky when arguing but for all intents and purposes it looks like you always win. We all do it and often you see it on The Internets more than anywhere else. Here then is my list of argument mishaps that don’t prove your point–even if your point is technically right on.

Short Story: Town-Fest

Here’s a short story vignette that I had posted on a private blog but I wanted to locate them all in one place. I don’t plan on developing the story further than I’ve brought it. It’s a sampling of life, a taste of a fictional happening. I’m reserving rights to this for myself so I would rather you link to it than copy any portion of it.

Junk and…Well Junk

Warning: there be spoilers in these waters. What was the last thing I spoke about? I don’t even remember anymore. It’s been a frighteningly busy couple of weeks jam packed with meetings, designing, freelance, and Vacation Bible School. Worst I even became part of this theological discussion site that is so absurdly addicting that I haven’t had even the remotest time to stop, breath and post something more than a haiku.
