I hate the Internet on April Fools. In other news, Blizzard has released a Tinfoil Hat item in the WoW Armory, wireless power is now available, Google has released Gmail Paper, The Pirate Bay found a permanent location (the North Korean embassy in Stockholm, Sweden), and Julianne Moore is set to play Dana Scully in… Continue reading April Fools

It’s Official – I have no idea what I’m doing
I sometimes receive incoming links from random blogs of random people I’ve never heard of – the blogosphere is mind-bogglingly large and interconnected. I also hear kudos from my friends, family (even Grandma) for the content and how intelligently I write. So now it is time to remind everyone that I have no idea what… Continue reading It’s Official – I have no idea what I’m doing
Worst Digg comment ever
“So who cares? No one in the world gives a f**k about atheists anyway.” That comment says a lot about the commenter. I saw it on this article about the first openly nontheist Congress member.
Big Brother tag and Google Reader
I use Google Reader as my primary feed reader, and I read a lot of feeds. I like to see every item that comes down the pipe from news sites such as Slashdot, Digg, and BoingBoing. Recently I discovered a way to tag individual items (stories) in Google Reader, and I also figured out that… Continue reading Big Brother tag and Google Reader
Organic Church
This is a follow-up to Carl Cherry’s thoughts on Organic Church. I’m reading Organic Church, too, and I’m starting see everything we do at Pantano as having organic tendencies and possibilities. Our life groups could and should be organic and self-reproducing. Many of them are a great model of a church, actually. Launching new sites… Continue reading Organic Church
Culture Tribes

Presented by Leadership Network, Seacoast Church, Community Christian Church, and North Coast Church, it featured speakers such as Dave Ferguson, Larry Osbourne, and Mark Driscoll. The recurring reasoning for sending their churches down the multi-site path (as opposed to… Continue reading Culture Tribes
im in ur billboardz, bombin ur Boston
How could anybody possibly mistake an LED mooninite for a terrorist threat? We clearly have a growing generational gap between an out-of-touch Baby Boomer media and the up and coming Generation Next (aka Millenials, Generation Y, etc – we don’t have an identity yet). Aqua Teen Hunger Force is just a cartoon, and the signs… Continue reading im in ur billboardz, bombin ur Boston
Split Browser: Firefox Add-on
Have you ever found yourself browsing with Firefox, only to find that you have WAY too many tabs open? I found an extension to relieve the tabbed thought processes a bit. Split Browser does just what it says – it lets you split the browser window in to several panes. A right-left pane works really… Continue reading Split Browser: Firefox Add-on
Combined blogs
Jenny and I are trying an experiment – combining our blogs. I imported as much as I could from her Xanga site. We’ll probably also be working on a new theme that fits the new site name – Philip and Jenny Cain: InspiredMumblings. (Hopefully it means I’ll stop ranting about politics) Everyone should benefit –… Continue reading Combined blogs
NeoCon Buzzword Bingo
How to play: * 1. Tune into CSPAN, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, the Fascist News Netw…errr, FOX, or even one of the traditional three networks. * 2. Wait for a NeoCon or proxy to appear at a speaking engagement, press conference, interview, or talking head confrontation. * 3. Mark off squares as buzzwords are used.… Continue reading NeoCon Buzzword Bingo
