Google Wave Preview

Published to YouTube by Google, this video contains a unique developer preview of Google Wave. Make sure you have time to view it since the video runs for 1 hour and 20 minutes. It’s really worth watching though. If they release this project on time later this year, I’ll have more to look forward to than just the new console game releases for November.

Deltron 3030 - Virus

Do any of you remember Deltron 3030 at all? Before the Gorillaz, there was a relatively short lived project by Dan the Automator. Geeky hip hop with technology related themes and political opinions, entirely devoid of drug themes, cash-money verbal dihoerria, bitches and hos or bling bling. None of it. It was perhaps the best hip hop I had ever heard and until today most likely the only hip hop I’ll ever listen to on a regular basis.

I suggest skipping to the 0:30 position. The intro is somehow lacking all sound.

Religion - Think Of It As A Movie

RandomFerret sez: Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel. Then the Qu’ran comes out, and it retcons the last one like it never happened. There’s still Jesus, but he’s not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn’t shown up, yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels, Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn’t count.  Muslims think the third one was the best, and Mormons liked the second one so much they started writing fan fiction that doesn’t fit with any of the series canon.

Awkward Questions About Jesus

Sometimes kids ask the most curious questions. Little do they know how important some of their weird inquiries are. Children’s minds are most often still untouched by the media brainwash of political correctness, tact and respect for religion. Mostly. Unless these children are Americans and have already been sent to Jesus camp at the age of 4. Also, if they are jewish and born into a religious family, the brainwashing usually begins at an extremely early stage. However, for the most part children are still putty in the hands of society and have little fear of asking controversial questions.
