Hawaii Chair


Well, now, this is a fantastic invention. You can work out without getting out of your chair. Plus people using the Hawaii Chair look so goddamn sexy! There's nothing greater than sexy, lazy ass workouts.

I wonder if there's a Hawaii Chair fetish porn site...

Here's a Hawaii Chair bonus. O' the humanity

God's Cool Designs


Mostly unbeknownst to us Europeans a controversy over evolution has erupted in the beautiful land of unlimited possibilities, the US. Some people believe that since God supposably created everything, evolution must be wrong and some go as far as calling science evil. The so-called creationists' arguments are terribly flawed, illogical and most of the time downright dumb.

One term that one comes across over and over and over is 'Darwinism' which is strictly speaking more a philosophical concept than a biological one. Such a misnomer might be only a minor problem, but it has probably been chosen deliberately to remind people of Social Darwinism, the notion that some humans are superior to others and therefore allowed or even entitled to eridicate any inferior ones. Obviously, Social Darwinism is negatively connotated and the creationists might hope this negative meaning will 'rub off' on evolution.

Another major problem is that most creationists are not equipped with a proper biological or even any scientific background and/or show unbelievable short-comings in the fields they are trying to dispute or promote. Some of the creationists' 'scientific' arguments are so blatantly and obviously wrong that it is hard to know whether these people are actually or just willingly ignorant. Creationists often state the unfalsafiability of God must be compelling evidence that God exists. It is not hard to show that this argument is flawed in the scientific sense as in science and the scientific community anything that is not (yet) proven to exist must be assumed to not exist.

R2D2 Multimedia Station


Now that's something. At a price of €2799 ($4320) it's a bargain.

Nikon D40

A couple of days ago I treated myself to something special and bought a Nikon D40 and a 18-55mm lens.

It's very nice and I've been playing around with it a bit lately. It has been a long time since I held a SLR in my hands and it's the first digital SLR I own. Hopefully, there will be time this or next weekend to go out and take some nice pictures. Since I have not yet really visited Peak District, this might be a nice opportunity.

I had a meeting with the brewery yesterday and was lucky enough to enjoy a nice, soft sunset so I just pointed and shot one picture randomly over the river.
