Last week, after it became apparent that the GOP campaign of disinformation regarding the health care legislation was working wonderfully [1] President Obama shifted gears a bit to talk about *why* this change is necessary. WASHINGTON — President Obama sought Wednesday to reframe the health care debate as “a core ethical and moral obligation,” imploring [...]
Holy Shit, I Still Have a Website.
My lord, I’ve been spending too much time on Facebook. I’ve neglected my role here, as RPN. My deepest apologies. To catch you up to the story quickly (this would be Chapter 12 for those reading at home), our hero in the story has taken to walking the Earth in order to save it. Which [...]
The World This Week, March 22, 2009
[videos forthcoming] US NEWS People thieving the electrons. Obama: Economy hurts. Duh. Obama Budget Strategy raises questions. New home construction gets a lift (month-to-month). Small business help on the way. Fed prints money like mad. A couple economists agree that printing money is a good idea…today. China wants a new global currency standard. Palin to [...]
Robots Taking Over the Runways and Dreamscapes
First up, from the far, far east…. (TSUKUBA, Japan) A new walking, talking robot from Japan has a female face that can smile and has trimmed down to 43 kilograms (95 pounds) to make a debut at a fashion show. But it still hasn’t cleared safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models. [...]
More Stuff I Won’t Get to Write About, at length (dang editing)
Computer power and intelligence. I actually did a video bit about this one the other night. Hopefully I’ll get it edited soon. Simple fact: We DO NOT WANT TO CREATE AN AI! Really, it would not be a good thing. What invasive species are trying to tell us. Shaq isn’t human, he’s dancer. (Thanks, Case!) [...]

In Defense of Love : Summation
You can begin to catch up here. I would HIGHLY recommend you catch up before joining in, this is a conversation that had been going on for a while, and it would behoove one to read up before joining in. Thanks.
What to Expect in the Coming Year
I just ran across a nice rant about what needs to change if we want to fix our “economy.” It’s what I call our “efficiency” but looking at it like a clusterfuck is a good way to go… This guy gets it. The minority reality (let’s call it The Long Emergency) says that it is [...]
I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book
I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.” If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work. Joel, you first.
In Defense of Love
or as some people call it “Gay Marriage.” Just a quick follow up to a conversation I’ve been having. I don’t think this is going to make the first version of the book (although it might, because I like the phrasing). The setup is this post over here (yes, I’ve been engaging in various theological [...]
The First Two Chapters Are Up
As mentioned a little while back, I am putting the blog on hold and writing a book. O.k. I didn’t do such a good job of that (as the latest posts can testify) but that hasn’t stopped the book from coming along nicely. They can read be read here. I’d love to get some feedback [...]
False Prophets Abound
Three quick stories for you, see if you can find the theme… Reporting from Parowan, Utah — Our trip to the Parowan Prophet began with a letter to the St. George Spectrum.
