Reality Me » Can’t say NO to juggling
Posted 5 minutes ago
One thing I do to give back to the community is juggling shows. I usually do 3 or 4 a year for organizations like churches, the mental association, or the homeless shelters, and Rocky Hill Elementary’s Clown Day of course! My standard policy has been first come first serve as long as I don’t do more than one show a ... [Link]

patrickbeeson.com | The blog of Patrick Beeson » How to upgrade to Django Comments 1.0
Posted 10 minutes ago
The release of Django 1.0 held many new developments for the Python-based framework that I've used to build several projects during the past few months. But one feature I was really looking forward to exploring was the new, refactored comments application. Unfortunately, Django Comments 1.0 also comes with the scary prospect of database updates, data migrations, markup changes, CSS changes ... [Link]

Pull up a chair... » Loving women
Posted 19 minutes ago
My (mis)adventures with members of the opposite sex could probably make for an amusing sitcom. Somebody once told me they think I've loved every girl I've ever been close to, and I guess to a certain extent that's true. "You loved all the women," they said. I laughed, knowing all too well what they meant. But, getting serious, I guess ... [Link]

In hindsight, another six laps (or lengths if you want to nitpick) might have been possible. I jumped in the pool at the UT Student Aquatic Center this morning during the first Swim For Life event despite my dislike for going shirtless in public. There were many other swimmers, most of whom were under 18.The lanes were designated from slow ... [Link]

Barak Obama was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.The first kid said, 'I want ...

Dr Jim West » I’m So Tired of Bailing out The Greedy With Taxpayer Money
Posted 111 minutes ago
It’s gotten to the point of ridiculousness. First we’ve been forced to bail out the mortgage companies because self absorbed nitwits thought ‘flipping houses’ would be their golden highway to a quick buck. And now we have to bail out the largest of the lot because they saw dollar signs in the stars and thought it would be fun to ... [Link]

Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog » An essential problem, given the tasks that lie ahead
Posted 2 hours ago
I see essentially four million-man armies out there: U.S., Russia, India, China. A fifth wheel would be NATO (with the body core really being Turkey). You put those resources in rough combination (frenemies competing and collaborating economically and security-wise) and there's no question that there's enough Core-wide resources to pool against the tasks of shrinking the Gap. You put them ... [Link]

‘If I see that a thing is written from love of God and one’s neighbor, I overlook many errors. …  [But] I do make two exceptions, Emser and Eck, for they are pests in the teachings of Christ.  Their own wanton recklessness has forced me to write pretty sharply against them and by name.’ [Link]
