The Blues they have come a callin’

What a day… I had the amazing blessing of attending the wedding of two friends, and what happens, I suddenly get hit by an extreme case of being self conscious combined with my general dislike of being in a crowd of strangers. Managed to suppress it well enough, just didn’t feel great. It kinda bubbled […]

Easter Rantage

Well its Easter again, the time of the Christian calender where we pause to reflect, remember, and rejoice in the events that took place about a couple decades short of 2000 years ago.
To me there are only 3 major dates (yes, there are other days but really without these three the rest are meaningless dogmatic […]

Rant - “this wouldn’t happen if it was…” (religious in nature)

I have my fair share of opinions, all of which are almost guaranteed to annoy at least one person. I have strong opinions on religion, of course, and especially when it comes to perceived Christian persecution.
Let me first set this straight, there IS persecution, there are those brothers and sister who are imprisoned for no […]

Spider-man - One More Day…

This is about comics, so please feel free to ignore…
So the “One More Day” arc has just finished, I was going to rant at length about this but my feelings are covered by others out there, such as here in Bureau 42 and here in a Newsarama round table.
For those who don’t know it basically […]

Sermon - Gorgie - A Misplaced Confidence

So this is the text of the sermon I gave tonight, well kinda, I added some bits and took away others but you can get the drift.

Freedom Day

On the 25th of March 1807 slavery was “abolished” in the UK, however, human traffiking is still going on, and is still a major source of wealth for crime, and in many ways, it has been pushed under the carpet by the west as it fuels our growth and consumerist society. Of course we are […]

Vista is a pretty picture…

…and thats about it as far as I am concerned. After now working with Vista for about a month I can safely say its all looks and nothing else (at least Home Basic is, I am sure the ULTIMATE version is much nicer, it should be at the cost.
Why the out cry, well for the […]
