As the temperatures are going down I don’t think I want to wear shorts in the morning. So I put on my jeans, but that was a big mistake I did not know it really till the ride home, but since there was no room in the leg, the bike ride home was not comfortable,[…]

Today I was looking in the Caliban book store on Craig St. I was looking though the religion section and I find the book “Martin Luther’s Basic Theological writings” for only $12. What a sweet deal.

Well this weekend has been a bit tedious. On Saturday WPLUG had our nomination meeting, and for the first time in a year we finally had a quorum, so we had a year of business for the members to have to deal with. It was no fun. Well today my churches monthly operating board meeting[…]

I wish to pose a question. This question came from a response to this post titled “A simple ethics question” The person posed this statement “shouldn’t this be more strongly equated with organ donation from a dead adult without their concent (but obviously from their family) in order to save the lives of living people[…]

Well last year they changed the rules to hockey, and I really hate the new rules. Also the penguins might be getting profits from the slots when they come, and I don’t think I can really do business with a company (and make no mistake about it sport teams are companies) that profits from something[…]

One of the episodes of South Park I got from the apple store is “Cartoon Wars Part 2” I can not believe that Comedy Central even blacked the image of mohammed on the for sell versions. They must really believe that the moslems are a major danger to them. I still say it is very[…]

I just got 6 South Park episodes from the apple music store, about 200MB each. 1.2GB in one night. But they are some of the better shows (also some of the more controversial ones from this season also.) from South Park, I had the record on my DVR, but it might be nice to have[…]

I just got the new iTunes from the software from the software update, I think some of the new additions look nice, I like the feature where it will get the artwork for the mp3’s I have that were not purchased via the iTunes music store. I have ripped many CD’s to my iTunes collection[…]

Well as of Friday (Sep 8) I went past 900 miles on my way to the goal of 1000 miles biked this year. I am wondering something when I hit the 1K mark should I just put “1000 miles goal reached” or should I just keep accumulating the numbers over 1000.
