Shall we spice things up with a controversial yet honest question?

Is it possible for humanity to generally abandon the concept of a supernatural god?

As we last left the story, our hero theantix was puzzling over a completely theoretical scenario involving Hurricane Joh3n hitting the city that a friend of his was traveling to.  Our hero, theantix, presented four options that presented a range of choices which represented every possible contigency and asked you to decide, a la Choose Your Own Adventure, what his friend should do.

Inside: or so he thought...

Let me tell you about a friend of mine, we'll call him The A to protect his privacy.  No scratch that, let's call him T. Antix instead.  For the sake of hypothetical thinking, let's assume that T. Antix and his wife P. Simmon have a honeymoon trip coming up in beautiful sunny Los Cabos, MX.  Let's say that a hurricane was about to hit this town, approximately Friday night or early Saturday morning.  Totally hypothetically, let's pretend that this anonymous person T. Antix has a flight scheduled into Los Cabos on Saturday afternoon.

Inside:  more hypothetical posturing, then a question

Drinking Coffee at 7:30p?  Perhaps not the best decision of my life.

But on the other hand, Snakes on a Plane?

It’s pretty easy to be baffled by how stupid the “other side” of the political debates are, especially now that the divides are so great between the left and right wing thinking in most western countries right now.  How on earth could they cling to fact thats that are so obviously wrong, etc etc — I must confess that I repeatedly come to this conclusion myself.

Well, I suppose actually it doesn't.  DRM doesn't really taste that good with peanut butter, after all.  But like many people in this modern era, my job depends on the fact that there are provisions in place to prevent copyright infringement.  Specifically something called "Digital Rights Management", DRM vaguely describes a set of actions that someone can do to prevent digital media from being copied.  The most famous negative example of this is Sony's disturbingly stupid release of software that broke peoples Windows computers when they simply inserted an audio CD.

If you aren't a regular reader of my awesome weblog (and why the hell not!?!) or a #husi regular, you may have missed the news: I am finally rejoining the world of the employed!  After a very long immigration-inspired drought, I got back into the game with what I can only describe as my dream job.  Good company, good pay, good environment, good commute... friggin' AWESOME!

Ever since my dramatic victory in the WFC, people have been coming up to me asking for my advice.  "theantix," they say, "how can I not write a short story in order to win fame, money, and women?"

Inside: my advice

The art  of shameless namedropping is a great way to get people to read your journal/blog/diary.  People know you pay attention to them so this subtley encourages them to pay attention to you.

But this is too much!

I cleaned my entire car, both inside and out, with Windex(tm) and paper towels.
