Big 10 Logo

More proof that you don’t always get what you pay for.

I must say, the new big 10 logo is really lame.
It might be more palatable in a different color.
It makes me wonder what these marketing people are thinking.  Is there any kind of objective or scientific criteria that guides the design of these logos?  If [...]

Taconite

Thanks to the internet, I mainly listen to WHWL when I’m at home or working at the computer.  The station has several transmitters scattered through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan, so I’ve been getting all the news and weather reports from that region.  Then, I happened to be looking at a rail map of [...]

Uncommon Christian TV Suitable For The Fundamentalist (Engineer)

I was surfing Christian TV with my Grandmother this evening.
 

Two channels featured two analogous men in expensive suits, excitedly soliciting donations.   
 

Two other channels featured six different apologists attempting to debunk the theory of evolution using diverse devices of misinformation.  I thought of a proverb.  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=PROVERBS%2018:17;&version=49;  I’d like to see cross-examination applied to the Sunday pulpit, especially when people ignorant of biology [...]
