Today’s Accomplishments
Once in a while, you have to pat yourself on the back for the little things.
1. Spoke to solar panel installer about revised schedule (more info at Smith Electric Company). Re-arranged vacation schedule at work on short notice.
2. Located 14-year-old bug in the billing system that just showed up this month. This was a tricky one.
3. Managed not to annoy wife who got to stay home today when I got up and dressed this morning.
4. Pet cats. Cats happy to see me.
5. Offered advice to another IT group on a joint project.
All in all, a quiet day. Any day without discord is a gift.
Whipping the Easter Bunny
The Glassport Assembly of God Church held a program on Easter, which included whipping the Easter Bunny and breaking colored eggs. Supposedly, it was supposed to show what Christ went through in the Easter story. It seems to have primarily scared or upset small children.
gelatinous cube has a good idea for the Christmas pageant.
As a young child I had a few strange experiences at the local Assembly of God church in Englewood, NJ – courtesy of my next-door neighbors who brought us with their children. I don’t think my parents ever let me go back again afterward.
Memespread
I’m just helping out a project on how memes spread on the web.
Here’s the original meme site.
A Church Bake Sale – Hamas Style
In Gaza, Hamas has resorted to collecting donations at mosques in order to fund their armed terrorists. This is apparently because American pressure to freeze their bank accounts globally is working.
I wonder when people will start to realize that in some places, Islam cannot be separated from terrorism. I don’t mean to say that ALL of Islam is terrorist, but clearly in some places it works that way. This probably has parallels in some conservatives whites-only churches in the South of the US during the 50’s and 60’s.
This does seem rather Monty Python-esque, though.
