New Environs
We are, by this point, mostly settled in to our new place in Portland, Maine. The town seems great. Its tiny size relative to Chicago is already coming through, as we run into people we’ve already met far too often when wandering around downtown. In a similar, but small world, remarkable coincidence, one of the landlords whose apartment we toured at first is dating an old friend of one of my close friends from college. And then we ran into them at the local pizza restaurant.
Today it snowed, but it feels like winter is letting go.. It has been warmer for the past week and none of the snow is sticking. I think it cracked the fifty degree mark a couple of days ago!
The job hunt continues…and once that is done, everything should be settled into place for a while. I think there will also be a lot of opportunities to juggle around here too.
Too..Something
I enjoy reading about the creation/evolution debate. I like seeing science and reason defeat lunacy. Lately, the blogs have been a-roaring over the Expelled brouhaha with PZ Myers and his mystery guest. Tonight served up some more delicious drama when PZ crashed their promotional conference call.
This is all, of course, tangential to the truly important thing I discovered tonight, buried in the comments of that thread.
At first glance, I thought this was creationist-made, in support of that Expelled movie. After several more delightful viewings, I have come to the following conclusion. This video required far too much talent, too great of rap skillz, and to much genuine humor to have possibly been made by a religious fundamentalist or creationist. It just has that certain…je ne sais quois. I cannot stop laughing at the Daniel Dennet..and the Sam Harris..and the Darwin…
And I love it.
