For whatever reason, I’ve been thinking about the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God. Normally that means I got a letter in my ongoing religious discussion with a relative or that it was brought up in some forum I visit, but not this time. I really don’t know why I’ve been thinking about it.
As [...]

Curiously, after the minor redesign of the Chronicle’s site, there doesn’t seem to be a link to the Opinions/Letters section. Now it even appears that the old URL is broken. I find this rather annoying.

“Netroots” is a stupid word.
That is all.

As some will recognize, I’ve jumped on the K2 bandwagon. I think I’ve got it styled pretty much the way I want. Maybe a few things left that I could change the color of. I’m not entirely sure about the border on the current page tab. The way it overlaps the header border is kinda [...]

Since I don’t really have anything else to write about, and I’m busy playing with K2, a website I’m building (for money, no less), and a paper that’s due Thursday, I thought I’d write up my (brief) thoughts on John Morrison. He gave a little talk and answered some questions last night for mostly college [...]

Once again we’re having this debate. Do outspoken atheists hurt the promotion of evolution?
I’m all for atheists being vocal, but I can imagine how it hinders the acceptance of evolution when the two are associated. Some of the objections to saying it hurts seem to be along the lines of it’s unfair to try to [...]

I have mixed feelings about this column. For the record, I like Dershowitz. I assume you can imagine my feelings about Bennett.
This part is good:
We two come from different political and philosophical perspectives, but on this we agree: Over the past few weeks, the press has betrayed not only its duties but its responsibilities. To [...]

I just passed 50,000 visits this morning. Other blogs may get that in a day, but it’s certainly a lot more than I expected out of this one.
No more posting today, probably; I have a job interview in Helena this afternoon. Hopefully it won’t be too painful.

Bottled water is glorified tap water, but buying it in America doesn’t cause water shortages in India. It’s bottled in several places and you get water from a source in the U.S.
Having high school students read Girl, Interrupted is equivalent to having them read Playboy. I understand immature high school students, but immature parents?
