Señor Doo And The Mystery Of International Calling

Posted on January 7, 2008 - Filed Under Technology, Travel | 5 Comments

As I toiled away in front of a hot computer this afternoon a knock came knocking on my door. I opened it to a very unusual character…

It seems Señor Doo has come to America in search of his long lost cousin, Scooby. This is because his cousin runs with a gang of mystery solving kids and a chupacabra is threatening Señor Doo’s home village of Oaxaca. Unfortunately, Señor Doo has no calling card with which to call home so he…

Are Any Agorists Actually Active?

Posted on January 6, 2008 - Filed Under Living Free | 3 Comments

A few weeks ago I came across Brad Spengler’s article Distinguishing between anarcho-capitalism and agorism. I’ve been interested in agorism for a while as its proponents claim that it is all about the actual act of living free rather than wasting time attempting to lessen the effects of government on our daily lives. This is a concept that I embrace mightily! However, I’ve yet to be able to find anyone claiming the agorist title actually sharing any way that they are…

Perhaps I Take Religion Too Seriously

Posted on January 6, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment

This morning was Z’s baptism into the Lutheran Church. Despite being the only openly agnostic person in the building I still felt like I was the only one taking the ritual seriously. When Z first came to me with the idea of being baptized several months ago I asked if she understood what it meant. She replied that she did, but was unable to explain it any way. As recently as a few weeks ago she couldn’t tell me why she…

The Grand Wiki Experiment

Posted on January 5, 2008 - Filed Under Technology | 1 Comment

It’s no secret that I am very much not a fan of Wikipedia. This has surprised many of my associates who know that I’m an anarchist, but don’t yet truly understand what the term means. They believe that, because I’m an anarchist, and the strongest of free speech proponents (for example, I refuse to have any moderators on the forums that I run, trusting the community to police itself) I should therefore be passionate about the free-wheeling openness of Wikis. The reality…

Duck Names New Chief Of Police

Posted on January 5, 2008 - Filed Under Police | Leave a Comment

I came across this article while searching for information on North Carolina’s Outer Banks region and am passing it along (untouched) in hopes you’ll find it as humorous as I did-

The Town of Duck has named Lieutenant Phillip Ferguson as its new chief of police.

At a ceremony held on Friday, Dec. 21, Duck Town Manager Christopher J. Layton administered the oath of office to Ferguson. Sandy Ferguson, the chief’s wife, pinned on his new badge while their daughter, Piper, and his…

The Press Release Title I Thought I’d Never See

Posted on January 4, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance, Reviews | Leave a Comment

Blogging about personal finance, and poverty in particular, I read a lot of press releases about credit opportunities for people with poor credit. So, imagine my surprise when I opened a browser window to find the headline: Average Credit Credit Cards. Although I haven’t achieved the leap from “poor credit” to “average credit” yet, hopefully some of you dear readers have done so. Well, now you know there’s no reason to abandon Philaahzophy as a result. ‘Cause we’ve got info…
