Languages Span!
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...I have often been caught in the cross fire of the ongoing and awfully brutal and emotional language wars. I am a C programmer by choice and a PHP/Perl Developer by trade, so I get some of the most heated and misfortunate of the angry or emotionally charged responses from people who just do not know a god damned thing about what they are talking about. Scarier is when I hear absurdities from people who actually do know something about their topic. For some reason they want to stick their toes into my pool and do not like the temperature of the water so they go into a tirade about how I should change the color of the water with some dye and install a heater, oh and the chlorine content is too low or too high and algae will form; who knows, maybe you should add this algae snake as well to keep it from getting to the bottom! I apologize for the extended analogy here but it stands. It is important that Comp Sci. and Developers alike learn at least one thing about languages before they enter the market and end up coding themselves into a corner – There is no such thing as a language level, Languages Span!

Hubble has brought us…
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...As amazing as the universe is, it is certainly not something that any of us can ever expect to understand fully. Astronomers, Astronauts, Cosmologists and Physicists help us with our lowly position on the knowledge totem pole in that they provide us with further fuel to our fire or thirst for further knowledge. This video highlights the fact that few of us really understand things well enough to be able to pass judgement on it.
Hubble has brought humanity some of the most amazing images detailing and supporting the current position of our world being insignificant in the grand scheme of things. While this may influence many of us to be afraid and sad it leads me to accept that we are on a journey into knowledge and affirms my atheistic convictions.
