Ranting Eva: Book Review - The Help
http://www.rantingeva.com/2014/01/book-review-help.html
Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Book Review - The Help. First up: The Help - Kathryn Stockett. I LOVED this book. I loved how Kathryn Stockett beautifully captured each character and transported me into Jackson at this time. I could almost feel the warmth of their summer, see the grandeur of Jackson Junior League annual fundraising ball and imagine Hilly's face during the "Terrible Awful" thing Minny did to her. Have you read this book? What did you think? Next Time: The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton. I'm jus...

Ranting Eva: September 2010
http://www.rantingeva.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 23, 2010. How Britney Spears = USA. Today's rant is about how Britney Spears represents everything that is wrong with the USA. Not all the of the USA, more the Fox-news watching, hypocritical, bible-belt lunatics that seem to get a whole lot of voting power. In fact, the whole Spears family nicely summarises what happens when you force beliefs upon people who don't actually believe in them themselves. Look at all those pregnant teens with chastity rings!

Ranting Eva: August 2011
http://www.rantingeva.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 15, 2011. I know its a little belated, but today I want to rant about the London riots and the miserable scum who made it all happen. Fellow British ranter) and. Aljazeera) seem to have hit the nail on the head. I have no sympathy for these kids and the punishments they receive. But if we don't want this to happen here, we need to look very closely at the mix of circumstances that occurred that created this volatile situation. But I have said it before and I will say it again: THERE IS NO ...

Ranting Eva: February 2011
http://www.rantingeva.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Ken Ring and his equally inane supporters. Last night John Campbell from Campbell Live exposed Ken Ring. For the quack that he is. For those that missed it, Ken Ring is just a person, who claims that big earthquakes can be predicted based on the moon and tide cycles. He is the man behind the March 20 campaign on facebook. The thing that REALLY gets up my nerve is that people are ACTUALLY LISTENING TO THIS GUY! They don't listen to the Geoscientists. Predicted an earthquake of a...

Agile 101 | Thoughts On Software By Darren Fehrmann
http://software.darrenthetiger.com/2010/10/agile-101
Thoughts On Software By Darren Fehrmann. My thoughts on software development and architecture. Upcoming Agile Vancouver Events. October 17, 2010. Yesterday I attended the Agile 101 workshop put on by Agile Vancouver. I’ve had some experience with Agile techniques before but wanted to go through a refresher and also hear what they had to say about lean software development, since I haven’t had much exposure to those ideas (yet). I’m going to get a copy of Mary Poppendieck’s lean software book. While there...

Ranting Eva: What do you want for your future?
http://www.rantingeva.com/2012/05/what-do-you-want-for-your-future.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. What do you want for your future? I know it's been awhile, but nothing makes me rant more than a National Budget and all the tripe they use to justify it. Which brings me on to - why should. They consider raising the age of retirement? It's gonna get worse. Baby boomer babies aren't having enough babies. Baby Boomers. Those post-war babies spurred on by lots of post-war lurrrrrve making. And there was a whole lotta love in that time. Not so much now though. As you can see by this.

Ranting Eva: December 2011
http://www.rantingeva.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. Is it me, or is anyone else uncomfortable with Fat Activism? For an article on the movement itself and here. For details of a plan to sue Air Canada for making obese travellers pay for two seats. So what is prejudice? It is defined as "an adverse judgement or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts". So lets look at the facts. So if the airline does give a space for other passengers comfort, why should they lose out? Obesity is a disability...

Ranting Eva: June 2010
http://www.rantingeva.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Today’s rant is about the Government’s irrational policy of getting all people off the benefit and having zero percent unemployment. Those that are unemployable have much greater issues at hand. The welfare system hasn. 8217;t “trapped” them, they trapped themselves. Why is no-one asking why these people are like this? Off the system and everything to do with cuts to mental health care, throwing out people will no capability to function in society and then giving them $130 a week t...
