Sunday, December 12, 2010. Once again, into the breach. For fans of physics humor out there (not to mention people who don't like kitties), you have to check out this video:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? A bit with robots and the Schrodinger's. Cat thought experiment (the cat in the box simultaneously dead and alive, since both states are possible and neither can be observed). If you shut out the lights and did not watch the electrons, they would hit the photopaper. But in all seriousness, it is a cool ...

if-brevity-is-wit-then-why-do-I-keep-writing: Superbowl Sunday
http://ifbrevityiswitthenwhydoikeep.blogspot.com/2012/02/superbowl-sunday.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. So I am going over to supergoober's place to watch the game, and frankly, I am more excited about last night's UFC than I am about today's game. BTW, I don't know the results from the fights, but that is neither here nor there. I am looking forward to hanging out with a couple of friends and BS-ing for a little bit. Frankly, I don't know what more to write about, but I wanted to just start writing something, and I don't know what. It is also used as a base for many cleaning agen...

Sunday, May 9, 2010. You Can't Legislate Morality. Except Mine. And as I thought more, I was struck by the fallacious reasoning of both the Left and the Right. If a person is "pro-life" they are likely to be attacked as "forcing their morals" on others, "not living in the real world", or "not understanding the plight of women". Of course the pro-life person will stick up for their moral cause, defining their position as morally superior. I am officially an idiot :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I teach ma...

if-brevity-is-wit-then-why-do-I-keep-writing: Frivolity with Fast and Furious
http://ifbrevityiswitthenwhydoikeep.blogspot.com/2012/02/frivolity-with-fast-and-furious.html
Thursday, February 2, 2012. Frivolity with Fast and Furious. And Additional Alliterative aaah-crap I can't think of an A word for musing. That is why it seems that we are left with one of two options - either Holder is the first ethical man in power, unwilling to let heads roll to take the heat off of him (doubtful) or he doesn't want to fire someone who could potentially implicate him. And before anyone uses the "Bush Administration did it too" argument, I'd like to point out a couple of things:. Never ...

http://ifbrevityiswitthenwhydoikeep.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Never have so many had so little to say to so few. In light of that fact, I will continue to say so little in as many words as possible (like every other blogger out there). I am going to try and get back into a daily posting, just to keep up with my writing. I will just keep telling myself that I am a unique and special individual. Just like everyone else. But being important is overrated, too. It takes just as much faith to believe in nothing as it does to believe in somethin...

Saturday, September 28, 2013. Well, I am not going to write for a terribly long time on this topic, but I do want to put down a few things that have been rattling around in my brain for quite some time. I also know that I have visited this topic before, but given the nature of many peoples' views on morality, it seems worth addressing again. For the first point, many people believe they are moral relativists when they are actually not. How can I make this assertion? Is a simple majority sufficient? If se...

http://ifbrevityiswitthenwhydoikeep.blogspot.com/2012/02/okay-so-i-am-on-2-days-in-row.html
Friday, February 3, 2012. Okay, So I Am On 2 Days in a Row. This is what happens when you get 3 days off from teaching and don't feel like correcting tests. Actually I just want to spark up the old writing chops again, so I hope one or more of my friends reads this. To voice his opinions). If you haven't guessed, I am talking about Steve T. I can't remember the moniker I used to use for him, but he's the guy in our group that loves to take his car to the track and is not supergoober. And for my sake, I h...

http://ifbrevityiswitthenwhydoikeep.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 8, 2010. I am more upset than I have been in a long time. I am having a perfectly good anniversary with my wife, and other than the fact that my brother neglected to get us Rush tickets for the concert tomorrow, everything is great. Saturday, August 7, 2010. Anderson Silva and MMA. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. Thursday, August 5, 2010. On the Definition of Marriage. And I ask myself, should I really go here? But don't throw your hands up in exasperation (if you are for gay marriage) or ...

Sunday, January 30, 2011. An interesting look at atheism in politics. So this post was inspired by something the Acupuncturist said to me at MightyMook's wedding, and I have been thinking about posting on it for quite some time. I actually have had thoughts in this direction for years, and I have articulated them in other situations, but I guess I have finally decided to commit the thoughts to writing. What is "good" about that, and why even bother with the concept of "good" at all? From an atheist liber...
