Taft 2012 →
What if Howard Taft, a president best known (arguably since it’s not confirmed) for becoming stuck in his own bathtub, were reborn in 2012. How would an early 20th century statesman react to our current political climate. Taft 2012 seeks to answer those questions, with a touch of the absurd. Taft’s only real friend is Irene, a 106 year-old in a nursing home who warns him:

Why Do So Many Have Trouble Believing In... →
Even though I’m not a believer, I wonder why those who are need to equate God with the hard work of designing people, bacteria, dinosaurs, or some 900,000 known species of insects. (Probably there are more than 10 million in total.) Surely there are better ways to find God or other paths toward spiritual meaning in life?
To me, Evolution and faith aren’t competing factors. I...

shortformblog:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation moved against a group of suspected online pirates Thursday, targeting the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com a day after Washington lawmakers were besieged by complaints about legislation designed to crack down on the online sharing of pirated copies of music, movies and other material, people familiar with the matter said.

Hypocritical Pet Peeve
People who judge/criticize/are annoyed with things that happen in the film/tv adaptation of a novel/series/comic without having read the source material. Example The Walking Dead doesn’t have enough zombies, character development, or answering the real question, what would happen in a society if weren’t forced to follow the rules? Dan O’Brien at Cracked has done two...

So I'm trying to make a library for my friends
What I need is a program that will let me scan bar codes of books and/or DVDs that we have and then put them into a spread sheet so we can see what books people have, and who has what checked out (since I lose more stuff this way). I’ve looked at a few programs, but they all seem to work with their own library system and might be mac only or Windows only, and I’d prefer to have...

This comic may not have words, but the meaning is seriously deep. It actually made me cry. It is very blunt, but it is beautiful.

I always think “man that person must love the pope” then I realize they just don’t understand church symbols.
Hey Team The Tumblrs
Sorry I’ve been on radio silence the last few days, since I know y’all are hanging on every word. Figureing things out, didn’t get funding for the next year, trying to figure out if I’m going to stay with my org or move to a new one, and therefore where to go. Also drove 800 miles in the snow, so that takes a lot out of anyone…Good times…

Been Watching A Lot Of Jeopardy With My Family
I forgot how much of a jerk Alex Trebek is. Not only is he condescending when he’s got the answers in front of him, but he’s passive aggressive to most of the people playing and belittling to the the contestants on a regular basis. Female contestants are treated with shock and surprise when they get answers right (except for when the girl ran the Shoes category, to which Trebek replied...

How do you follow up your first read of...
By reading Starship Troopers
Greatest anti-war novel of the 20th century followed up by a glorification of war so ridiculous that Paul Verheuven had to direct it and Casper Van Dien had to star.
I got a brewery kit for Christmas!
Sweet Deal! Guess I’ll start making beer when I get home.

Finally Watching A Game of Thrones
Ep 1 is just like the pilot for The Walking Dead, they do a phenomenal job at keeping it just like the book. Lets hope they keep it that way, I’m enjoying watching characters I’ve know for years come to life.
