Thoughtcrimes

The miscellany. Rants. Photos. Pointless bits of digital flotsam. The missing dark matter. It's all here. Some of this stuff is meant to be funny. Some of it isn't. See if you can tell which is which.

I now also maintain a blog, which is probably, sadly, one of the many reasons this site doesn't get updated so frequently any more. Read it at http://c8h10n4ho2o2.blogspot.com.

Rants

Democracy, law, the Christian Bible, and the Magna Carta [ 22 October 2003 ]

  — My thoughts on the US pledge ruling. Written watching (okay, really, listening to) the fireworks, on Canada day.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition [ 2 July 2002 ]
  — A clearly insane band of theocrats kills a few thousand of your countrymen. Clearly, this is the atheists' fault.

If free trade's so great, why is it free? [ 21 April 2001 ]

IFAQ (Infrequently Asked Questions) [ 3 March 2000 ]
  — Sorta like a FAQ. But far more useful.

Bob's interview [ 3 March 2000 ]
  — Answers to a set of standard interview questions. Now this is career advice you can use.

Other
