I haven’t even really told anyone that I’m open again, but so far I’ve got three projects on the burners from seemingly-random contacts:

1. Offroad Racing
2. Custom jewelry e-commerce
3. Law firm stuff

They’re all through friends, so hopefully they’ll all be relatively pain-free. One is almost done, and I’ll probably post it here afterwards with a breakdown of everything I did. I’d like to keep track of my personal progress a little better.

’til next time.

One of the first things most religous people will say when they talk about homosexuals is “Well they’ll burn in hell” or something similar.

If you feel homosexuality is a sin, let me ask you something when was the last time you were without sin? Who is to say any of your sins is any less or worse? Before you condemn anyone to hell you better remember your own bible tells you not to cast any stones unless you yourself are without sin. So stop playing judge and jury for anyone but yourself. Use others to determine your own morality but its not your place to judge them.

I don’t argue with you on fighting what you see is imorality. I don’t argue the government saying they can marry. Because if it was up to a single group we would all be Catholic, Morman, Muslim, Jewish etc… Get the point?

Nothing pisses me off more than church types playing God and casting everyone to hell like they have a fucking clue. Jesus was able to forgive the people nailing his ass to the cross and mocking him the entire time do you really think he is incapable of forgiving some guy because he sucked a dick? Don’t pretend to understand the capability of God. You don’t have a fucking clue and neither do I.

Many things once considered sins are no longer. Keep that in mind.

Now, many of the people who voted on Proposition 8 believed they were voting against their children receiving education about homosexual marriage in school, because it would… turn junior gay. Yeah. The measure was widely misunderstood by the very people tasked to vote on it. It serves as yet another fantastic reminder that direct democracy and its ills (ignorant voters, tyranny of the majority) is anathema to a free society in which all men are equal.

Awesome.

It’s like you have to devote hours a day to make any progress.

I do still want to eventually get back to writing tutorials, though. The last one I wrote (in 2007) isn’t even listed in my archives anymore and still gets hits every single day from other sources. I find that fascinating. I’d like to see if I can get a steady stream of visitors with 3 or 4 more tuts.

Now I just have to find the time for them.

Some people may not be able to justify 500+ on a visual/auditory experience. I wasn’t sure about my purchases either. That said, I will never regret it and I’ll never go without it again.

FTW.
