What About China?
Well, the US has started to make some more public pronouncements about China’s military capability, and how they see it expanding in years to come.
Truly, China is shaping up to be the next Superpower. What this should mean to all of us is that we are on the cusp of another arms race with a Communist country that is bent on our destuction – or at least our assimilation. And I’ll tell you why this arms race is going to be different from anything we’ve seen before.
Here’s a God One…

So a short time ago I had some Jehovah’s Witnesses come to my front gate. What on Earth (or in Heaven, Hell or anywhere else) would drive people to expose their children to such trauma is beyond me. But that’s not what this post is about.
For the sake of my fingers, hereinafter the Jehovah’s Witnesses will be referred to as the JW’s. No offence is intended…it’s like referring to Jemaah Islamiyah as “JI” or L. Ron Hubbard as “Nutjob”.
This post is about a couple of really basic things that the JW’s believe. No, not the transfusion thing, there’s some actual sense to that if you go back 100 years or so. (Or to the AIDS epidemic.)
Mashups That Would Never Work

On the Interweb these days, it’s all about the Mash-Ups, baby. Take Google Maps and put Flickr photos on there, or get the number for the closest Liquor Delivery service simply by clicking where you live on a Google Map. Or use Google Maps to show you where people have been stashing crap for you to find.
Well, I’m going to give you a few mashups that will never work: Because they have nothing to do with Google Maps.
Stupid Thought of the Day
Do you think there’s at least one scientist in the World waiting for the discovery of some disease that turns you all sorts of different colours…just so they can call it “Disco Fever”?
