I was wondering if “alternative is the new mainstream” recently. I was quite surprised that this is not a more general meme.

The weather in Prague is very nice at this time of year

I always thought that this was a classic cold war movie pass phrase, with a response like Rosebud, or something equally tangential. Surprised not to find it as a quote in any search engines…

JChris is off to Prague, which prompted the thought.

Religious debates?

From discussions yesterday:

This is effectively a religious debate: I believe in one God, and you believe in three Gods, and now you are asking me what color hat the second God is wearing…

Ed Sim on Facebook vs Linkedin

Ed Sim on Facebook vs Linkedin

LinkedIn has repeatedly stated that it believes people will have two profiles, one professional that is maintained on LinkedIn and one personal which is maintained on MySpace or Facebook.  I don’t doubt that at this time, but I must admit that while Facebook has mostly been about friends and personal relationships, I have been surprised at the number of professional and business contacts wanting to add me as a friend on Facebook ever since it opened up its platform.

My comment

… I have used Linkedin since the early days, and am now facebooking (post APIs etc). There are clearly link/friend collectors on both networks… (more)

Evolution of Religion?

 Look what Wilson thinks of Dawkins on religion

In The God Delusion Dawkins makes it clear that he loathes religion for its intolerance, blind faith, cruelty, extremism, abuse, and prejudice. He attributes these problems to religion and thinks that the world would be a better place without it.
