Issues

Blogging Less Says More

I notice that traffic-hungry bloggers and web-savvy advertisers tend to follow SEO marketing schemes of creating filler content and fluffing up word count. They claim that it will keep visitors satisfied and search engines will flock to their precious keywords which will increase click-through rates. The latter may be true, but the former is problematic....

High on Caffeine and Psychoactive Illusions

Caffeine, the worlds #1 consumed psychoactive drug, can stone your consciousness with irritability, dysphoria, and mania when used improperly; but when in moderation, you can review those TPS reports without falling asleep, jitter and shake to the latest dances, put your brain in the fast lane, and be buzzed without a hangover.* *One may actually...

Return to Sender (Spam and Email Harvest)

I wonder how many people said to themselves, “I want to be a spammer when I grow up,” or “It would be sweet to help the world by giving them unsolicited advertisements.” Apparently someone has. In fact, many have. There are even robots (automated programs) that seek and destroy all that is still human on...

Reasons to Be Cautious of Google

Google is getting too powerful for the internet. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, and in fact use some Google services, but that doesn’t mean we should all turn a blind eye to what Google is and is capable of. Google has one of the best search engines, any they also have a wealth of knowledge....

The Ladder of Success & the Slide of Leeches

“The ones who love us best are the ones we’ll lay to rest” “The ones who love us least are the ones we’ll die to please” -The Replacements I’d love to play guitar, build something, or share stories with the failures, the desperate, or people who are just deprived for no reason. The underdog gets...

Santa: a Misspelling of Satan? Christmas killer.

Santa killed Christ? There is some validity to that statement, but that doesn’t mean Christ or Christmas is gone. Christ is very much alive and swinging after the resurrection according to the Good Book. Christmas still means the celebration of Jesus’ birthday (although his birth most likely occurred during spring, when the census took place)....

Abortion Update

Regarding my post on abortion, there is a newer video from the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform called Choice Blues that you can watch or download to your iPod. It shows clips of an actual abortion and two different babies. I wish they showed how old they were. Also, recently I found another video free of...

Urinating in Public

It is illegal to relieve yourself behind a tree at a park or on a dark desert night because it is considered littering and a public nuisance. Most of you probably don’t see the big deal, but are we being fair? Dogs get to do it. Are we giving affirmative action to our pets, and...

About Your Vote

In the United States, elections were held today. One of my teachers told the class to go vote. Additionally he said, “This is a very important election.” My answer to that is “What elections are unimportant?” But I don’t advocate forcing people to vote, especially if they don’t know or care about who is running....

Aborting Abortion

Abortion is a personal convenience and a distortion of morality. Abortion is the intentional ending of the natural process of the unborn. In order to have an abortion, someone has to approve it, and many people call this a “termination.” This sounds much nicer than murder or killing, but people who are disgusted by the...

Absolute Freedom of Present

This article is written to inspect the conflicts of freedom, and foreknowledge of God, and to propose some alternate ideas extending beyond orthodox theories of divine timelessness and monolism. I wrote this article before reading a segment of Boethius’ “Consolation of Philosophy” written in 524 AD, which deals with the same topic. His explanation is...

Tucson and boredom

Very often I hear that living in Tucson is boring, that there is nothing to do, and that there’s lots of old people. I don’t mind it. I think there is plenty to be grateful for, but there is definitely room for improvement. By no means am I trying to hoax tourists into coming here....
