Pastor Andy Flowers is mistaken about evolution
Local baptist pastor perpetuates ignorance in an anti-evolution class
May 23, 2010 10:45 PM
In an opinion piece for the Daily Democrat, Pastor Andy Flowers for the Calvary Baptist Church argues that evolution by natural selection requires just as much faith in the unknown as his job as a Pastor. In it he sites some common creationist arguments against evolution that have been thoroughly addressed and dismantled over the past few centuries.
This is pretty status quo for a Baptist Minister. Normally I wouldn’t pay much thought to an article like this in a local newspaper’s Faith column, but Mr. Flowers is grossly misinformed about one of the most basic tenants of biology, and he is teaching this misinformation in my community. I feel I need to at least put the truth out there for people to see it.
Evolution through natural selection is a fact. There are proven, testable examples of it all around us. An endless supply of peer reviewed research supports it (as does the fossil record). Here I will address his main arguments, and offer some alternative reading to the Creation Answers Book that Pastor Flowers is offering for free.

True ubiquitous calendaring with your iPhone and iCal, powered by Google
May 3, 2010 12:40 PM
I have been pining for a definitive, stock solution for managing my calendars on my iPhone since I got my first iPhone. I have a combination of MobileMe and Google calendars that I use. I didn’t like the idea of having an unused calendar app on my phone, so rather than look for a third party app to manage calendaring, chose to suffer with having read-only calendars on my iPhone.
No more! My boss found the mystery solution and passed it on to me, and I, in turn, am passing it on to you.

Capo 1.1
An extremely handy tool for learning songs
Feb 24, 2010 9:29 AM
I’m learning Dear Old Dixie for the new Pleasant Valley Boys album we’re cutting. Our schtick is authentic traditional bluegrass, so the recordings we’re pulling our arrangements from aren’t exactly the highest of fidelity. Capo by SuperMegaUltraGroovie has come in quite handy.

Full fucking flex

My buddy Scott turned me onto Die Antwoord a few days ago. I wound up with an advance of their forthcoming album, “$0$” and can’t stop listening to it. I haven’t been this completely blown away by an album in quite a long time. Maybe a decade.

Printers ... What are they good for?
Jan 26, 2010 8:45 AM
I have taken pride in my paperless workflow for over six years. When I say paperless, I also mean CD/DVD less as well. I simply don’t print and don’t burn. That is until last night. My wife bought a fricken laser printer (the kind with a fricken laser) on a whim at BestBuy.

The last 10 years in review
Dec 31, 2009 11:56 AM
I’m not really one to think more than a week or so into the past or future — I’m mostly a today guy — but since we are at the turn of another decade, I thought I would take a second to reflect. You know what, a lot can happen in 10 years.

My dad got another opinion piece printed in the Daily Democrat. I wish they would hire him permanently. He’s good and always gets me thinking.
