When putting down a hard wood floor sometimes geometry, specifically Some Triangle Formulas, can come in handy.

Friday Five

Friday Five: Religion

  1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith? Raised Roman Catholic. Even spent 8 years going to a Catholic elementary and middle school.
    Accouding to Belief-O-Matic:
    1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
    2. Liberal Quakers (96%)
    3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (93%)
    4. Bah�’� Faith (88%)
    5. Mahayana Buddhism (82%)
    27. Roman Catholic (28%)
  2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not? Not currently practicing. There is no longer anything intresting to my spiritual or socail development occuring at any of the Catholic churches in the area.
  3. What do you think happens after death? I’m not really sure. One of those subconcious tests said that I thought the afterlife existed and was just a place of great peace.
  4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)? Confession, though strangely I have not participated in it for years. I think the draw is that the concept of total forgiveness just totally rocks.
  5. Do you believe people are basically good? I believe our default state is neither inheriently good nor evil.

Liverpool’s Labyrinth

The enigma of Liverpool’s labyrinth, looks like it would make a good tourist attraction. Although it would also make a good reference for a Chuthulu or X-Files Story.

Another story puts the tycoon as a member of an extreme religious sect that believed that Armageddon was on the way.

Wikis need a Blog

Bliki, Wiki, Chiki, Reeky? A good point about how a Weblog like interface to a Wiki does a good job of inviting, though the bigger point is the culrural issue. Wikis, especially the big successful ones, are really about the community where Weblogs are usually about an individual. Regardless a Blog interface couldn’t hurt.
Now this tthinking raises a thought, what if Slashdot was more Wiki like with it’s comments?
Update: There already is a Wiki Slash Plugin, SlashWiki, Slash’s Wiki Plugin the article. It would probably end up as a “First Post” with lots of intresting stuff in the changes.
