“‘I am sorry to say,’ remarked Cotgrave, ‘that I have devoted very little of my time to theology. Indeed, I have often wondered on what grounds theologians have claimed the title of Science of Sciences for their favourite study; since the “theological” books I have looked into have always seemed to me to be concerned with feeble and obvious pieties, or with the kings of Israel and Judah. I do not care to hear about those kings.’

Ambrose grinned.”

Jean Stevens, Wyalusing Widow, Lived With Corpses Of Husband And Twin Sister, Say Police

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 22:33:51 -0400

Jean Stevens, Wyalusing Widow, Lived With Corpses Of Husband And Twin Sister, Say Police:

WYALUSING, Pa. (AP)— The 91-year-old widow lived by herself in a tumbledown house on a desolate country road. But she wasn’t alone, not really, not as long as she could visit her husband and twin sister. No matter they were already dead. Jean Stevens simply had their embalmed corpses dug up and stored them at her house — in the case of her late husband, for more than a decade — tending to the remains as best she could until police were finally tipped off last month. “Death is very hard for me to take,”…

'Weird Al' Yankovic - Tiny Desk Concert

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:45:59 -0400

'Weird Al' Yankovic - Tiny Desk Concert:

Several generations of nerds can chart the course of their lives against the career trajectory of “Weird Al” Yankovic. For me, his 1984 album In 3-D was the first record I ever owned, and his appearance at the Wausau County Fair in 1985 was the second concert I ever attended. I spent my 17th birthday being driven to the movie theater — by my mother, of course — to watch UHF, Yankovic’s debut as a leading man, by myself. (And I mean by myself; my ticket marked a significant percentage of the film’s…

Marco.org: How I write and time-manage:

I was asked a few times by some very nice people at WWDC this week how I manage my time between Instapaper and Tumblr, and how I write essays here that occasionally make sense. If you’ll forgive my auto-back-patting, here’s the answer I gave, and I think it’s worth sharing with you because you can…

White House adviser spills secret: Obama loves pie

White House adviser spills secret: Obama loves pie:

Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, told Jay Leno Friday that the president was forced to “separate” from the White House pastry chef to break his bad eating habits. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, told Jay Leno Friday that the president was forced to “separate” from the White House pastry chef to break his bad eating habits. “One of the things that happened when he came to the White House is they have a very great pastry chef. It became a big problem,” Axelrod confided on The Tonight Show. “One…

But what kind of pie? In case he showed up at my front door I want to be ready.

NYTimes: Does Reason Know What It Is Missing?

NYTimes: Does Reason Know What It Is Missing?:

The German philosopher Jürgen Habermas has long been recognized as the most persistent and influential defender of an Enlightenment rationality that has been attacked both by postmodernism, which derides formal reason’s claims of internal coherence and neutrality, and by various fundamentalisms, which subordinate reason to religious imperatives that sweep everything before them, often not stopping at violence. In his earlier work, Habermas believed, as many did, that the ambition of religion to provide a…

“The point can be sharpened: in the context of full-bodied secularism, there would seem to be nothing to pass on to, and therefore no reason for anything like a funeral.”

Opinion: The iPad is the future for home computing

Opinion: The iPad is the future for home computing:

Posted on by Kenneth van Wyk, Computerworld Posted on by Kenneth van Wyk, Computerworld Yes, iPadurday has come and gone. Many of us have Wi-Fi iPads in our grubby little mitts. Early reviews have been mostly stellar. The device—and more importantly, the software running it—is superb, but certainly not perfect. And now we’ve seen Steve Jobs outline the next release of the operating system, iPhone OS 4.0. That’s all well and good, but largely secondary to my point. I’ve discussed the app store model here a…
