http://blog.cratchit.org/2012/06/gun-control-conspiracy-theory-in.html
Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Saturday, June 23, 2012. Gun Control Conspiracy Theory in a Nutshell. I'm going to start this out by stating flat-out that I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories. But I've done quite a bit of research on the nature of them over the last several years. I can admire a well-constructed one without believing it. Here are some simple ones I know to be false:. The Jews control everything. Republicans want to starve your children. Actually, they want you. The truth is ...

Monday, August 2, 2010. SpinTunes #2 Planning: Discussion. I figured it was as good a time as any to start planning the next edition of SpinTunes while Kevin and Ross are hard at work.

This blog will be divided into 3 parts:. 1 Things that I've already decided on. 2 Possible major changes. 3 Possible minor changes. These are things that could change the whole struc...

Ruminations: Poe's Law
http://blog.cratchit.org/2015/05/poes-law.html
Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Monday, May 18, 2015. This Girl Just Trolled The Entire Internet By Acting Like A Stupid Liberal [PODCAST]. It seems to me that Poe's Law provides a very useful method of gauging one's own sanity, as measured against the public norm. Otherwise, you could be a loon and never know it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. More Junk Science on TV. Some details on that Casio CDP-100. Larry Ellison is Iron Man! I bought a new phone.

Ruminations: Some details on that Casio CDP-100
http://blog.cratchit.org/2007/03/some-details-on-that-casio-cdp-100.html
Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Sunday, March 04, 2007. Some details on that Casio CDP-100. I believe I owe you a review of my new piano. This is it, on the right: a Casio CDP-100 (click on the picture for specs). It is exactly as described, no real surprises. I recall when decent digital keyboards first came on the market they would cost you in the neighborhood of $2500. Casio delivers an authentic piano feel and sound for around $600. Pound the keys. The stand is solid,. No foot volume control.

http://blog.cratchit.org/2010/04/sex-offenders-arent-allowed-to-read.html
Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Friday, April 16, 2010. Sex Offenders Aren't Allowed To Read This Blog. I suspect I'm about to offend a lot of people. A lot of well-meaning, law-abiding, God-fearing, and hopelessly intolerant and illogical people. And it won't take me long to do it. The topic is sex offenders (and, more broadly, crime in general). Today I received a Facebook request to join a group called "Keep Registered Sex Offenders from Joining Facebook". I ignored the group. Why? There are ...

Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Saturday, May 09, 2015. The Hague Declaration: Not Only No. It's not often that Creative Commons. Posts something on Facebook to which I take exception, then I saw an infographic from The Hague Declaration:. It's called " Big Data Can Reshape The World and Save Lives. Let's start by taking a look at the Principles of the Hague Declaration:. To allow inventors to realize an uncontested profit for a limited time, so as to encourage invention.

Ruminations: A Visit to Niceland (or, "What is Money?")
http://blog.cratchit.org/2015/05/what-is-money.html
Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Saturday, May 02, 2015. A Visit to Niceland (or, "What is Money? I titled this piece not because I intend to give you the same old explanation that doesn't make any sense, but because I want to explain it in (hopefully) a different way. one that gives you a better understanding of what money actually is. In a way that hopefully shines a light on everything else you ever read about the economy. Money used to be a convenient way of "carrying" gold. In this imaginary...

Opinions, thoughts, and recommendations. Friday, May 15, 2015. Here's a graphic I saw today reposted from Political Insider. What we're talking about. This is one way they're commonly represented. Reproduced under Fair Use for the purpose of education and political commentary). This hits my commentary button because it opens up a lot of room for discussion. probably more room than Political Insider. Intended. And certainly, with conclusions that they probably don't intend. So what's the Fifth Commandment?

________SpinTunes: SpinTunes #8 Round 1 Songs
http://spintunes.blogspot.com/2014/02/spintunes-8-round-1-songs.html
Tuesday, February 11, 2014. SpinTunes #8 Round 1 Songs. Tom is getting pretty dang good at running these LP's. He even broke the tradition of screwing up Edric's song that I started long ago. The preshow ran smoothly, the 30 minute RC tribute was awesome, and then the rest of the show went without a hitch as well. Thanks. We had about 35 people in U-Stream at one point, and overall had about 40 people drop in. After the Listening party ended, some of us hung out in a Google hang out awhile. If you wa...

Cool music videos I found surfing through the intersupertubes. Songs Of The Day. Friday, June 24, 2011. Epic Rap Battles Of History #10. Billy Mays vs Ben Franklin, I didn't really care for the heart attack bit (too soon for me maybe? But I thought this was funny as hell overall. Presidential Car Wash Commercial. Rhett and Link's new show is going to be pretty cool. I don't have the correct channel, so I guess I'll be watching it online. Peter Chao is one of my favorite comedians on YouTube. Here's anoth...
