On Naturalism, God, and the Moral Universe

The main reason my blogging has been so light as of late is because I have spent the last five weeks writing a paper for my research writing class. Here is a rough draft of the product of those five weeks where I put forward an argument that shows that naturalism is inadequate to explain [...]

Google’s got LIFE

I’ve always enjoyed thumbing through LIFE magazine at the grocery store. Now you can search their photography through Google.

Week 11: In the Tank

Once upon a time I had the number one offense in my league. I was on a roll. If you played my team you were going to get run over. Road kill, baby. This week I took on the first place guy looking to tie it up, and it was like cement truck hitting a [...]

After my huge win in week 8 I was projected by ESPN to score 132 [...]

Why I’m Endorsing McCain

So with election day looming I thought I would give my rationale for endorsing McCain. I will try to stick to a few issues most important to me and hopefully dismantle the main argument I’ve heard against him. Sorry this is so long, but taking the time to write was sure better than watching attack [...]
