MARTIN Burnham!
For several months, my “Burnhams” button has encouraged prayers for “Rick and Gracia.” It turns out that the hostage husband is not named Rick, but Martin. Please redirect your your prayers to him by his proper name: Martin Burnham. And those of you who show the prayer button (all two of you), please download the [...]
Ransom for the Burnhams Revisited
ARGH! NO!!! Don’t pay any ransom! The Abu Sayyaf cannot be trusted or negotiated with. A ransom payment to these brigands is no guarantee that they’ll release their hostages: the only bargaining chip they have left. And even in the unlikely event that they do free the hostages, ransom payments will only enable them to [...]
Timmorgan’s brownpau javascript
Tim Morgan has made a cool snip of javascript which links you to my random blog layouts without going through the initial redirect page. Neato! I’ll consider his suggestion of saving it here as a .JS file for easy link access. Thanks, Tim! Update: With my PHP randomizer in place, the aforementioned code is no [...]
Britney S-PEE-rs
Irate Residents Bombard Britney with Buckets of Urine. Somewhere, somehow, I’m pretty sure this is someone’s kinky sex fantasy.

Christianity and Smoking
Ah, is that smoke I smell? Spinning off from the debate on the Bible and alcohol, Razormouth has an article on Christians and Cigarettes. Of special interest to me, in my current position as anti-tobacco activist. And sure, Spurgeon smoked, but was he aware at the time of the addictive and carcinogenic properties of those [...]
TweakUI
No installation of Win9x is complete without TweakUI. Download it for extra GUI control.
Orisinal
The games at Orisinal are best enjoyed with a high-speed connection. Wow.
Freedom Farce
Freedom Force. Freedom Force? Freedom Force!
Pedophiles and Thomas a’Beckett
Church sex scandals aren’t big news in Rome. I didn’t think they would be, having come from a country which suffered under oppression and abuse by Catholic friars during the centuries-long Spanish colonization. I’m not saying, of course, that pedophilia was then or is now the Catholic ideal or norm, God forbid; but certainly we [...]
