Bible and Blood: an ad by the gay community - Adpunch

Bible and Blood: an ad by the gay community - Adpunch:
"An advertisement recently published in a leading newspaper has shown a Bible next to a pool of blood and it is carrying the headline, ‘In the name of the father’. Scotland Yard, which is carrying out the enquiry, will concentrate on whether the ad constitutes faith crime."

You go to the web site and tell me what you think. If this is not a faith crime then there is no faith and/or crime. Why is it ok when the other side does it but not when Christians do things. Nicky Cruz almost got his outreach shut down in London because he said the homosexual life style is wrong. Now this?????

JavaScript opens doors to browser-based attacks | Tech News on ZDNet

JavaScript opens doors to browser-based attacks | Tech News on ZDNet:
"The malicious JavaScript can be embedded in a Web page and will run without warning when the page is viewed in any ordinary browser, the researchers said. It will bypass security measures such as a firewall because it runs through the user's browser, they said.

'We have discovered a technique to scan a network, fingerprint all the Web-enabled devices found and send attacks or commands to those devices,' said Billy Hoffman, lead engineer at Web security specialist SPI Dynamics. 'This technique can scan networks protected behind firewalls such as corporate networks.'"


And just how are we supposed to protect against this. Maybe it is time to shut off the computer. Nahhhhh I will just stay away from bad web sites.

Cartoon Network Develops Online Game: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

Cartoon Network Develops Online Game: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance:
"The Cartoon Network is developing a 'massively' multiplayer online game in the vein of 'World of Warcraft' and 'EverQuest' for kids 6 to 14.

The yet-to-be-named game, expected to launch in 2008, will let players interact with Cartoon Network characters like Mac, Bloo and the Kids Next Door."


Can you say "Neopets competition"? I guess if something works, you steal the idea. Here the combine World of Warcraft with Neotpets. I shudder to think of the results.

Which one do you think is the bigger kid?

So just which one is the bigger kid?

New Monopoly game uses debit card, no cash - Yahoo! News:
"A British version of the classic Monopoly board game released this week substitutes a Visa-imprinted debit card for the stacks of yellow, blue and purple play money long hoarded by children worldwide."
In the new British version of Monopoly Here & Now, players type amounts into a palm-sized scanner and swipe their debit cards to seal the deal.
Guess the term for counterfit money that I used for so long 'Monopoly Money' will have to go out as well. Does this mean that a counterfeit credit card will be a 'Monopoly Visa'

Those Who Do Not Learn from History...


This was weird looking at and seeing what was back then, and where we have come from...

CBS Hopes to Beat Other Networks With Ad

CBS Hopes to Beat Other Networks With Ad:
"More than 35 million eggs will be marked with phrases such as 'CSI: Crack the Case on CBS' and 'The Class, New Grade-A CBS Comedy' as part of a deal between the CBS Marketing Group and EggFusion, an egg-coding company."

I am really sure that this idea is kind of cracked-up. Oh, did I really say that. Oh well, hope you got the yoke.

Gays accused of discrimination in resort town - Yahoo! News

Gays accused of discrimination in resort town - Yahoo! News:
"Gay-marriage advocates have set up a Web site -- www.knowthyneighbor.org -- that publishes the names of people who have signed the petition, including at least two locals in Provincetown who say they have been singled out and verbally abused by gays since their names appeared on the Web site."


I guess tolerance is a one way street. If you want tolerance, you have to give tolerance IMHO. Of course I am now a redneck from Oklahoma instead of the Yankee I used to be.

Online 'advergames' target kids - Games - MSNBC.com

Online 'advergames' target kids - Games - MSNBC.com

Let me give you a clue parents (as one who has them from 8 to 26), the computer has an off switch. Shut it off, take out the plug and hide it, whatever. Tell the kids to go out and play, take them to the library and get a good book to read. Let's not blame the new one-eyed monster for all of the worlds ills like our parents tried to do woth the TV.

SABCnews.com - world/asia1pacific:
"Rescuers picked through debris on Indonesia's Java Island today, searching for survivors a day after a tsunami killed at least 105 people. "

I know that I should not worry but every time news like this breaks over there I seem not to be able to hear from him at all for a day or two. The area that he lives in is a few hundread miles away so I kno win my head he is OK, it is my heart that is concerned. Anyway, keep Gabe in your prayers for me....

Akihabara News - 10 year anniversary Special Edition Tamagochi

Please make it go away. To make matters worse, Annie saw the article and now wants one. I told her no because her mom would be in school and she could not take care of it, so she asked if I could... NO!
