I hate engineers

Wayne — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:20:15 -0400

I'm not a fan of engineers. I especially don't prefer to socialize with them. Even working with them is frequently aggravating. The stereotype of the socially inept engineer is just too close to the truth. » read more »

Oprah's new (false) gospel

Wayne — Tue, 06 May 2008 08:13:12 -0400

Greetings,

This was sent in by an FCET member. It is "quite alarming" indeed and
relates to Oprah's "new gospel". You should be aware. I would encourage
you to pass this on to others, because huge numbers are evidently being
swept away by it. And it leads straight to hell.

There is also other literature out there concerning this and it is well
defended: Eg.

Goodbye Windows, hello Mac

The die is cast. Really, it was cast when Microsoft released Vista, though I did not know it at the time. It wasn't long before I started reading about Vista, and negative impressions began to form. » read more »

We're back--again

Wayne — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:10:16 -0400

TuscanyCircle is back again. We went offline for registered users (anything that used SSL for access) for over an hour due to a mistake by my hosting service. All should be well now. Let me know if you see anything not working fully, though.

Cost of illiteracy

Wayne — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:44:47 -0400

I started this article to explore the effects of widespread illiteracy on our once-American culture. As you see below, I made several points about how we'll be adversely affected, only to discover these effects are already present. The decline of our culture, significantly due to illiteracy, is not a future event but a present one. I would dare say our peak as a culture and in literacy was probably two hundred years ago. » read more »

Engineer joke

Wayne — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:45:02 -0400

A project manager, hardware engineer and software engineer were in a car heading down a hill when the brakes failed. The driver managed to get it stopped by using the gears and a convenient dirt track. » read more »

Dancing illegal in D.C.?

Wayne — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:01:39 -0400

http://freethejefferson1.wordp... chronicles the plight of a "freedom dancer" apparently arrested for--well, for nothing, really. You really have to read it to believe it. I'm sure there's another side to this, but I have hard to imagining it's markedly different than the account at this link. Check it out.

Patience

Wayne — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:29:27 -0400

We're not to tolerate stupidity and foolishness. How are these juxtaposed with patience? Proverbs 19:11 clearly says patience is a good thing, as does Galatians 5:22. Isn't being patient just the opposite of intolerance of folly? If Scripture does not contradict itself (an axiom), how, then, are we to resolve these two commands which superficially appear to contradict each other? I think the answer lies in loving the sinner while hating the sin. » read more »
