Jeffererson Bible prompts fascinating debate.
Amazing really.
The bible is such an interesting collection of books. It's sad that "true believers" in this country really don't know that much about it and atheist minded people dismiss it out of hand.
The Jefferson Bible book prompted some interesting mini-debates in Digg.
http://digg.com/educational/Jefferson_Bible_reveals_Founding_Father_s_view_of_God_faith
The "Jefferson Bible" is basically a bible that he cut up and pasted together again omitting the miracles and keeping the moral lessons (he was a Deist).
That prompted this comment:
"I wonder if he included Revelation 22:19: "And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.""
That in turn prompted the following comments:
"Too bad plenty of words have already been taken away due to multiple translations."
"This passage refers to the book of Revelation. Revelation was written in 96 AD, while the Council of Nicaea put the Canon (the Bible) together in 325 AD. The writer of Revelation had no clue that his letter would be included in the Canon (or that there would even be a Canonizing) , and therefore was not referring to the rest of the Bible."
"You guys beat me to it but you are correct - that passage refers ONLY to the Book of Revelations. The New Testament itself is a collection of writings by different authors selected by a counsel of religious elders (not God). The Bible in essence is basically like a "Reader's Digest" of early Christian writings, prophesies and gospels that were deemed to be divinely inspired by the elders of the early Church."
Lol at the Bible being called a "Readers Digest" because honestly that's pretty much what it is.
Someone else tried to pull out another quote pertaining to not changing the Bible which others noted was clearly aimed at Moses and the Ten Commandments not the Bible which was put together a good deal later.
...it's somewhat sad how some people view the Bible. It's NOT the actual physical word of God. It's something HUMAN BEINGS actually wrote down. And Human Beings can easily twist things around for their own benefit and make mistakes. Especially when you consider how many changes and translations that book has gone through.
Do we really want to miss out on the real moral messages of the book though?
Jefferson tried to make sense of the thing in his own way and edited it. Nowadays, people recoil from that because they put the value of a physical book over the ACTUAL IDEAS that are in that book. The vast majority of ignorant people in the USA who say they cling to traditional values of this country and religion know very little about the founders of this country and the book they worship as the divine truth.
Isn't that sad?
Isn't that a huge step back?

Nikola Telsa
What a guy.
http://www.cracked.com/funny-284-nikola-tesla/
It pisses me off we all learn about that hack Edison. It's pretty much because Edison was good at self promotion, marketing and such (including copyrighting stuff). Telsa definitely contributed more to society.
Telsa came up with Alternating Current! He is the reason you are able to power your computer and read this!
Plus he might have built a death ray...
All this and he was celibate to boot!

RockPaperShotgun
An AMAZING video game blog.
They cover really good stuff that nobody else seems to write about.

Action Half Life 2 coming out! (Action Half Life was one of my favorite mods to play back in college. This article also contains a link to a story about the original game).
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/06/08/action-half-life-2-the-sauce-of-death/#more-12729
"The Path" demo is coming out. It looks interesting!

New Doomsday Arcade is about Polybius!
Nice.
Some nice little jokes thrown in there. I personally loved all the little camera shots during the opening scene. Can you tell what movies are being paid homage there?
I really got to get cracking on my Public Access TV show.

Webcomics: Scary Go Round.
http://scarygoround.com/index.php?date=20090616
The Esther character is written to be sorta a jerk sometimes.
Or is it just an exercise in showing how someone can be inappropriate to the point of being insensitive and just be unaware of it?
In any case I was in a similar situation in high school and I do not have fond memories of that time.

Guy Applies for 300 jobs. Gets 8 interviews.
http://www.esquire.com/features/best-job-searches-0709?src=digg
Well. That sucked for him.
This makes me feel a bit better about the 100 or so resumes I sent out.
Hmm...let me consider some of my work experience.
The first real job I had was managing my own food stand at a softball diamond. Not food inspectors or anything like that. Good times.
Then I got a lifeguard and Water safety Instructor gig. I was good at teaching kids how to swim and telling people to stay safe.
I know for a FACT that I didn't get a low paying job in the food industry because I was over-qualified as soon as they find out you went to college it's a no-good.
If it wasn't for a personal contact I never would have got my assistant manager gig at that gas station chain. ( I never got a raise. People doing less work than me got paid $3 more per hour than I did. At the time I wanted to blame the Female management but now I assume it was mostly because I had a college degree.)
I had to lie to people and say that someone else was going to hire me to get the Deli job.
I just got lucky with my Officemax job. I think the management heard the desperation in my voice.
I lied on my resume to get the TV production job (omitted masters degree)

Food: Offal Makes a Comeback.
http://www.divinecaroline.com/22145/76526-forgotten-meats-making-comeback--it-s/
So that little bit of Chicken or Turkey that hangs near the tail is called a "Pope's Nose". Interesting.
I have always loved cooking up the "gizzards" (neck, heart, liver) of a chicken when we had barbecues. Slow cook them in tin foil with oil and vinegar for a long time. Very nice.

I am calling it. Natal will fail.
http://kotaku.com/5287069/natal-launch-will-be-as-big-as-360s
Natal will not work.
It's as simple as that.
We have been promised THIS EXACT SAME THING time and time again from MANY different game companies.
The control method NEVER works well enough.
I fail to understand why the hell the hype machine is picking this up. Is MS putting some money in the right pockets or something?
This whole thing will be a big flop or a huge disappointment like the Wii was for real gamers.
And understand I think the Xbox 360 is a friggen AWESOME console. It have some great games.
