Last Christmas, I did a week-long series of posts exploring the topic of religion in general and my atheism specifically. One of my posts was about how, even though believers will give dozens of reasons why they are religious, from my perspective there were three main reasons I thought people actually were religious – whether […]
Tout is a new social media site that combines elements of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to allow you to do 15-second video status updates. “Some moments in life just can’t be reflected in text.

Pace has been counting down the “sleeps” until we go to Cuba on Thursday. Meanwhile his daddy has been counting down “how many days left of standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off?” 😉 We leave Thursday for a week’s vacation and since Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the […]
Just a link dump of some of the stuff I’ve got hanging around in my browser… “Evolving English” Exhibit at the British Library (via MF) “You’ll Upset Your Mother” – Atheists Are Expected to Remain Silent In A World Where Religion Is the Norm O Canada: Economic Lessons from Our Northern Neighbour (via somebody on […]
