Kicking the Oil Habit
Posted by Daryl in Senseless Rants, Technology on June 20th, 2007
So, just about everyone is coming around to the idea that we’re not going to have limitless crude Oil forever. To this revelation I say, Duh! There can only be so much of the stuff on the Globe, so, yes, it must eventually run out.
The fact is that we – as in Human Civilisation – may never actually run out of Oil, so much as what remains will be a luxury item that only those with wealth can afford.
Not to mention that, even today, most of the countries supplying Oil to the World are – at best – politically unstable, and – at worst – not friendly to the West.
Deep Thought of the Month
Posted by Daryl in Deep Thoughts, Senseless Rants on June 14th, 2007
Posit: God is omnipotent. All knowing, all seeing. God knows everything about everything, all that has been, all that is and all that will ever be. Christianity teaches this as the very basis of existence itself, and if you believe in God, you must accept this to be the absolute truth.
In the Christian tradition, we are also taught that God has given Mankind free will. The ability to make our own choices and to determine our own destiny. That there is no destiny, other than what we make for ourselves.
As Adam chose to bite the apple in the Garden of Eden, so are we all free to choose what we will do, and if that will be good or evil. But if God knows everything, then he must have known that Adam would bite the apple. Even before the apple that Adam would bite, or the teeth that Adam would bite with, were created.
Will the Real Slim Shady Please Shoot Paris Hilton

This page gets close to 2,000 hits a month, mostly from people looking for pictures of Paris Hilton’s tits. Don’t you know she doesn’t have any tits?
I don’t know why I harbour such disdain for poor old Paris Hilton. I mean, she’s got more money than perhaps even MC Hammer could spend. She’s even got her own illicit sex tape à la Pamela Anderson and now it looks like she’s gotten herself a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card, too!
Fuck the Shit, Fuck
This is a band called Sons of Butcher, and this track is Fuck the Shit. I think this is pretty funny. Watch it twice and maybe you won’t agree, but watch it once and you’ll be with me. Fuck it.
Vladimir Putin. Despot?
Let there be no doubt – if there ever was any – Russia is on a backward slide. Maybe not to communism, but certainly to totalitarianism. Every day that passes sees President Putin further consolidate his power and his grip over The Russian Federation.
Check out JetForm Daddy
Posted by Daryl in Technology on June 6th, 2007
I’ve just started a new blog called JetForm Daddy. It’s going to be my professional blog site (with a crazy name, nonetheless) about work-related matters and techo-type stuff.
This site is full of crazy rants and wild speculation, so I didn’t think it would be a good spot for techie stuff. I thought the name would be a good one as I date back to the JetForm era, and I stole the Daddy bit from Andrew Spaulding, aka Flex Daddy.
If you’ve got questions about JetForm, head on over and Ask JetForm Daddy.
