First, let’s do the other goodness. The political bit follows. My friends (an eclectic and interesting group, to say the least) have been busy lately and I want to share what they’ve been doing.

• Global Atheist is an aggregate site that refreshes every 15 minutes. It’s a great place to scan lots of awesome skeptical and atheist sites at once.
• Religion Free Dating is slowly getting bigger! It’s a place to meet like minded people free of cost and free of religion for dating or friendship, or even something more.
• Here’s one that’s totally different: My Guilty Little Secret. Got something you want to confess anonymously, or get off your chest? This site just started up and is ready to absolve you.

Now for the Rambling Political Bit: Read more…

Life is good, but that usually means it’s quite busy too. I’ve been helping my friend out on an awesome project I think you might like! Religion Free Dating! It’s brand new, AND FREE, so be one of the first to sign up, then tell all your friends who want a religion free dating place to hang out and meet others.

Gary, the founder of Religion Free Dating, is an atheist, but he stresses that the site is more about religion not being an issue. So if you’re agnostic, or just don’t care about the whole mess, this is the place for you, too.

So go over there and befriend me! (I’m ZeNeece over there, you can’t miss me now, because I’m one of the only members. Gary is the founder. He’s over there too. Sign up and spread the word! It’s going to be a great place once people get over there.

We have forums, chat, IM, polls and tons of other good stuff that should make for a great experience for everyone.

You have different types of extremists in this crazy world today. Each one that I can think of makes me scratch my head in wonder. As in what the fuck is the deal with these nut cases.

The first type I’m going to cover is religious extremists. The types that blow up cars, ram planes into buildings, etc. This really boggles my mind. Why do people kill in the name of some (likely imaginary) god? I’ll state it this way for the religious. If we weren’t meant to think for ourselves, why would god give us a brain and free will?

This is the neatest idea on so many levels. So you need to unwind and play a game. You’re tired of windows solitaire. How about playing a game that could contribute to curing a disease? How about helping science with your big awesome brain!?

You can go here to read about the science behind the “game”.

So basically, in a really simple nutshell, you’re using your intuitive awesome brain to do something that would take computers a huge amount of time and expense to do.

Proteins are part of lots of diseases, so understanding how they fold on themselves is very important. Read more…

College is expensive. But if you look around, you might find that education can be free. We live in a world full of information, but sometimes you just have to know how to search for it.

While looking into MIT, I found a lot of other great colleges and universities are now doing the same thing. Here’s a brief list. I’m sure there’s much more out there if you look: Read more…
