Thanksgiving Day

I am thankful for the Perry Bible Fellowship.

ELIJAH ADDS: I am thankful for Mark.  Also, I just added a new page, Event List, which is a listing of events that us CAI writers find interesting (such as film releases, etc.).  Take a frequent look!

Old Music…2008 C.E.

Greg has done an excellent job of raking in this year’s best (at least in his highly-informed opinion) albums.  That’s great stuff (I’m only speaking generally because I actually have a more negative review for Coldplay’s Viva La Vida), but how much of it will we be listening to in two years?  Because music is [...]

Building Efficiency

While browsing at the Rocky Mountain Institute, came across a post talking about the cost savings that Adobe (the software maker) accrued by retrofitting their office building to maximize energy efficiency.  CNET has some pictures to go along with text explaining the changes and the savings they got.  Overall Adobe invested $1.2 million in the [...]

Prick Up Your Ears…2008 C.E.

What follows is my unsolicited list of the finest 10 music albums of this year.  Full disclosure:  I have a rather limited musical palate and have been called a bit “elitist” when it comes to music (i.e. all tastes are not equally valid), so I apologize ahead of time for any arrogant presumptions or pretentious [...]

Greg comments on November 18: “I do think we need some more hot celebrity pics to spice things up here. Couldn’t you write about global warming by [...]

Value of High Prices

Is there any benefit to high prices?  Absolutely.  It creates incentive for efficiency, innovation, and development of new technology.  As a free-market advocate I firmly believe in the need to let supply and demand, and prices dictate the marketplace.  Only then will the “real” values of a commodity or product be known.  Many oil-rich countries [...]

Waterless Urinal

Confession: I love using restrooms with waterless urinals.  They smell much better, seem much cleaner because there aren’t leaking water pipes everywhere, I don’t have to touch anything, and they make my environmental side happy.  And I hate it when I come into a restroom at a large building and the toilet handle is stuck [...]

Weekly Wanderings (III)

I’m leaving for San Diego later this morning and I might be so busy having tons of fun at the Air & Space Museum, the Wild Animal Park, the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Legoland, and Old Town (I’m going to none of these places) that I may not have time to post what have [...]

eHarmonious

Notes From Babel has a post on eHarmony’s anti-discrimination lawsuit settlement in New Jersey.  As part of the settlement eHarmony is required to set up a sister-site that will allow gay and lesbian daters to find each other, which is currently not a feature allowed on eHarmony.
Yet another example of private businesses not being able [...]
