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.

Plus, it’s FREE. NO COST. It’s simply about dating and making friends. So come on over and join up to get your name in the hat. Then if you can, tell a couple friends. The more people that join, the more fun we’ll all have.

So I made a mistake today. I asked my mom who she was going to vote for. It wasn’t a fun conversation because she had crazy ideas that no amount of logic was going to budge. Then my dad joined in. He basically implied that I was an idiot for not seeing things his way (ad hominem example?!) and then gave the phone back to my mom.

He seemed really angry and upset with my choice, which is already done because I voted early. They are so angry and seem like they are listening to the oddest information. I wonder how long my dad will be mad at me?

So let’s have a bit of a break and see what lolcats can do to make us smile. Some random pictures for you. Read more…

OH MY GOSH! There is a really long story attached to this bit of fun, but basically if you have a Wii, there is an AWESOME, FUN game I highly recommend! World of Goo! Oh! And I am pretty sure you can get it for your computer too! It’s so FUN!

World of Goo is Goo-tastic! Anyhoo, I was TRYING to do something today, and ended up finding this little gem of a game. It’s a good price and totally addictive. I think it was just released to wiiware or whatever that’s called on the 13th of October. So give it a try and tell me what you think. You can get the PC version here. And get the demo of Level One here.

So, what I thought of today was, wouldn’t it be neat if I could use my Wii to read my pdf books? I have all these pdfs that I’d love to read, but I don’t have a reader, and reading on the computer is so uncomfortable. So, I got the Opera internet browser for the Wii, but I can’t get it to see pdfs. I’m a bit flummoxed. But hopefully I’ll get it all worked out soon.

The book I’m trying to read is Atheist Universe by David Mills. I’ve read the intro and it’s awesome, but I really need to get it into a really small doc file or .. I have no idea.

Anyway… if you need a break, look into World of Goo. If you have any suggestions for me using my Wii as an ereader, let me know! WOOT! (oh, and the Logical Fallacy lesson will start tomorrow. I got a little distracted by the shiny today, sorry)

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…
