Just Another Blog: April 2009
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 9, 2009. Monday, April 6, 2009. I'm always intrigued when outspoken atheists. Claim that the world will be a better place once we eliminate. The irrationality that is religion. I've ranted on this topic at great length elsewhere, but I'll sum up my ideas here. A Yes, atheists. Are good people that care for others and don't (always) look down on the foolish theists. aka: atheists are not evil people. Obviously, this should be my most controversial point that the others build upon. Good" be...

Just Another Blog: Friends or Enemies?
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/friends-or-enemies.html
Friday, April 3, 2009. I recently received a Friend request on Facebook. From someone from high school (I think). We had several Friends in common so I thought that I actually probably know the guy and I accepted. It got me to thinking about the nature of social network services ( SNS. I understand the competitive nature of "who has the most friends", but SNS. Shouldn't be about acquiring the most. Friends. It should be about acquiring the best. And leveraging them to your advantage.

Just Another Blog: Friendly-ism
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/friendly-ism.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. A couple of years ago I was talking with my friend Harry, and the conversation shifted to communism, socialism, and capitalism. We were both in agreement that capitalism creates stronger companies through competition in the free market but it has no recompense to the people or society it survives in. It is like a cancer that tries to eat and grow without caring about the harm it is doing. Business need to be able to fail. This can be done by switching the primary motive of busines...

Just Another Blog: April 2010
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. We had our very own Easter egg hunt in China. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny which is rare in Beijing. We didn't have to go very far to find grass (another rarity). This was taken in a small park about a 1/4 mile from our apartment. Seth seemed to know exactly what to do. And he knows how to be efficient. When he's told to look for the eggs, he first looks in the container that he last saw them in. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Just Another Blog: Chinese classes resume
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/chinese-classes-resume.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. Ni hao. Wo xue Han Wu. Han Zi nan. I think this says: "Hello. I'm studying Chinese. Chinese characters are difficult.". Tonight was the first Chinese class after a long break (4 months). I've been trying to keep my Chinese current with a language partner, and I think it has paid off. I stepped into class without feeling that I've lost much and have added a few words of my own. It is a slow, arduous process. I hope to make it to (close to) fluent someday. At least before I retire.

Just Another Blog: January 2010
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Books I've read recently. Not that anyone cares, but here are some good books I've read the past few months:. Name of the Wind. By Patrick Rothfuss. If you enjoy good novels, please read this. If I start describing it, I'm sure some people will start to dismiss is it as "one of those books." Please give it a chance. Guns, Germs, and Stee. If you liked the movie, you'll like the book. I'm not sure that's true in reverse. I was surprised at closely the movie followed the ...I hav...

Just Another Blog: June 2009
http://chillers-justanotherblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) has been over for a couple of weeks now, and I have been passively following the news and impressions like I do every year. So here is my take as a Nintendo loyalist. New Super Mario Bros. - I don't really care. Laurie doesn't seem like one to get into it, so it would just be a single-player 2D platformer for me. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Excited about this one. Laurie and I loved the first one and this allows us to play some new levels. Natal - In...

B Yes, many of the greatest atrocities in the world have been done in the name of a particular religion or God.
