http://letmebefrank.wordpress.com/ is the location of my new blog site - there's just more I can do with this new location and it looks like it will be overall easier to use and manage, so I'll be posting from there from now on.

Consider this my last post on this blog site, I'll be moving over some or all of my posts from this site to the Wordpress site. Since this site is free I'll probably keep this one 'live' but I'll see if i can find a way to block comments, since there won't be a point keeping the comment system open, and I have gotten some spam posts in the past.

Anyway, come on down! Please change any bookmarks to http://letmebefrank.wordpress.com/  

"Religion ends and philosophy begins, just as alchemy ends and chemistry begins and astrology ends, and astronomy begins."

From Christopher Hitchens, who's written a book called God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Controversial title, no?

Lou Dobbs interviews him here.

No, that's not 'the number', but my own personal 128-bit number similar to the (in)famous number.

Want your own? Get it here. Just don't use mine. Because then I'll get all subpeona on yo' ass!

Good! Even Texans (other than the Dixie Chicks) are embarassed.

Great story about a guy committed to finding soldiers buried in the woods and fields around Berlin. Link here.

Fantastic quote: 'War is young men killing other young men they do not know on the orders of old men who know one another too well.'

Pretty cool though!

What more can you say about Star Wars nerds? 

I've been wary of bottled water for a long time - not only is normal tap water just as good and safe, the bottles aren't always recycled and companies make a killing on bottled water. It costs as much or more than gasoline/petrol in most places!

Here's an article summarizing all the reasons NOT to drink bottled water. Seems like it's slowly hitting home.

Folks, really: just buy a home water filter pitcher and enjoy great-tasting water for really, really cheap.

I've done a fair bit of reading of stories and web comix on the web, and this one, The Right Number, tells an interesting story of a guy obsessed with finding his perfect girl with a unique method...try it out, it's pretty cool!

When idiots rant and rave about the 'homosexual agenda', we should rant and rave right back at them! Here's a survey by the 'American Family Association' (you know where this is going, don't you?) asking what members (e.g., conservatives) think of companies that support the 'homosexual agenda'.

Pass the word. Screw up this survey. Skew the numbers. Vote for #1. If you don't feel that strongly about the topic, vote for #2. But people like this shouldn't be allowed to screw it up for the rest of us.
