Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 14 – How Tigers Got Their Stripes – Science vs. Religion

One of my big problems with religion is that it demonstrably makes people more gullible – about east Indian call centres telling you that your computer has a virus and psychics charging $0.99/minute and even the “official” word you hear on the evening news and in the daily newspaper. Because if you believe the Bible’s […]

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 9 – Music Monday – “You only need to pray in a particular spot/To a particular version of a particular god/And if you pull that off without a hitch/He will fix one eye of one middle-class white bitch”

This story of Sam’s has but a single explanation: a surgical God who digs on magic explanations. It couldn’t be mistaken attribution of causation, born of a coincidental temporal correlation, exacerbated by a general lack of education vis-a-vis physics in Sam’s parish congregation. And it couldn’t be that all these pious people are liars. It […]

Given what day it is today, I can’t help but think about the fourteen female engineering students killed twenty-four years ago today. They weren’t murdered for religious reasons. But as part of my thoughts on this sad day […]

The Story Behind the Development of the First iPhone

This in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes developments that led to the creation of the first iPhone is filled with all kinds of stories of innovation on a tightrope. It’s positively shocking how close the first iPhone launch (with a demo product that was apparently held together by duct tape and wishes!) came to being a […]

Why I’m Voting “Yes” in the #yqr #wwtp Referendum (And No, It’s Not For The Reasons You Might Expect)

  Like the title says, I’m voting “Yes” in the Regina Waste Water Treatment Plant Referendum. But it’s not for the reason you might expect… I think I’ve mentioned in passing on this blog that I sometimes regret getting more heavily involved in party politics, first by joining Ryan Meili’s 2009 Sask NDP Leadership bid […]
