Stem Cells and Potential Human Life

Posted on Oct 13, 2005 - 12:47 AM

I am a very strong supporter of stem cell research, in whatever form it takes, embryonic or adult cells.  I do not believe there are any serious ethical issues involved in using these for research.  My explanation of my position is a bit long so you can continue after the break.

Cindy Sheehan is a nut

MSNBC Interview Not medically related, or about me, but this lady is a nut. I don’t want to say that I support the occupation of Iraq, I don’t, but mothers making emotional appeals help no one. Should we get out of Iraq, yes. Immediately, I don’t think so, but I’d really like to hear more from Iraqis and less of Cindy Sheehan. Listening to Cindy Sheehan is a waste of time.

I’m Learning What Not To Do

It’s one thing to look at time and see how much of it there is. From the outside, I can see lots of hours in the morning, night and in between classes, on the train into school, there’s lots of time. In practice it dries up, gets wasted or lost to TV, family and fatigue. What’s really hard is that I’ve mostly learned my lesson. I’m good at procrastinating, which doesn’t help one bit.

Tempus Fugit, time flies.

Intelligent Design… phtttt.

Intelligent design is not science and does not belong in a biology class.

Intelligent design cannot be proven or dis-proven.

True or not it is not science. Philosophy, yes. History, yes. Theology, of course. Science, no. There are no two, equal sides. There’s science and religion. We should be far removed from this sort of discussion by now. It’s been almost 150 years since Darwin published The Origin of Species. That’s a lot of progress to ignore. This discussion is ridiculous, I have no problem with intelligent design (I have lots of problems with creationism...) though I feel that it’s an attempt by otherwise rational people to explain evolution in biblical terms. I’ve already given this more time than it deserves.

Phhttt.

I’m almost Premed

It’s so close now. Just a couple of weeks away and I’ll be back in school. After, really, six years I’m going to school. The downside of all this is that I’m a freshman and very nearly 26 years old. The good news is that I’ve got enough credits to be a sophmore after this semester, and after this year I should be mostly out of the crap general classes that I have to suffer through.

Expression Engine

—06/30/07

I am now running the site on Expression Engine.  While Wordpress is very capable with many, many plugins to extend its functionality I found that it came at a price.  Many haphazardly coded plugins means much time slugging through incompatibilities and unworking code. 
Expression Engine is clean, easy and wildly flexible.  Many things I struggled with in Wordpress are a breeze and the things that are harder aren’t worth it anyway.  It also gave me the opportunity to start from scratch and clean up some CSS and HTML a bit, make things look nicer.
