Worst Guild Candidate Ever!
It looks like I well might be first out of the gate on this one. It is just that this idea jumped so completely formed out of my head as soon as I read about the contest that the folks who create The Guild are running.
But there's moreI am a lovable person...really!
This a response an article from the Economist about positive affirmations and their negative affect on negative people. Since I am responding to it, this may make more sense if you read the article it is a response to first.
But there's moreCoding for fun and profit
I am a code tinkerer. I like to write code that does interesting and wonderful things and sometimes less practical things (but no less wonderful). And I code to fill time, boost my knowledge and to learn more about what is going on in the web programming world.
But there's moreIt's like living in crazytown
Ever since Barrack Obama was elected president, the conservatives, and particularly the "wackier" conservatives have become like crazed costumed criminals in Gotham City.

And then a few years later I'd hear an occasional mention or song on the radio and remember them and wonder like VH-1 "Where are they now?".
But there's more@RegularRon: To the Prop8 folks and anti Prop8 folks...Why is it such a big deal to have a Religious ceremony blessed by the Government?
This comment flowed past me in Twitter, and I couldn't let it go. It shows to me the deep seated problem that everyone has. They keep seeing this as the government's problem and it it really isn't. It is the people who view themselves as religious who have the problem.

In Defense of Twitter
Twitter made a faux pas. They changed the @reply model that they had in place. If you don't twitter, this is going to be both boring and incomprehensible. If you do, then hear me out a bit while I set some context for my argument.
