Yes, that’s right ladies and gentlemen, I’ve gone over to the dark side. I now own a piece of Apple tech. Okay, it’s not my first, where I got donated an old eMac to play with a while back (the ones that blow capacitors out all the time — meaning it was a time bomb [...]

Wherein my subconscious brain invents a religion
March 25th, 2011 
Jason Thibeault I had a very strange dream last night. It was strange enough that I remembered it, which is one thing, but also enough so that I felt the need to run to my computer and write it all down. Because humans have a tendency when describing dreams to attempt to force them to conform with [...]
Old Agriculture is Dying
February 21st, 2011 Jason Thibeault I’m typing this on my recently new Aspire One netbook. It’s booted to Ubuntu 10.10 because I dislike the way Windows operates. Between my husband and I we have 4 computers, we used to have 5. I’m also watching him play Little Big Planet 2 on our PS3 and 40″ Sony LCD which I helped [...]
Is cancer just cells “rebooted into safe mode”?
February 13th, 2011 Jason Thibeault An interesting theory about cancer’s prominence in mammals (save naked mole rats of course): The new theory, published in the journal Physical Biology, has been put forward by two leading figures in the world of cosmology and astrobiology: Paul Davies, director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, Arizona State University; and Charles [...]
How Thunderbird’s Lightning color scheme under Ubuntu pissed me off (and how to fix it)
December 30th, 2010 Jason Thibeault This is a bit of a UI complaint, moreso than a coding one. Fair cop. Most programmers aren’t designers, and most programmers have a mistaken idea that all programmers can do design. Mozilla Thunderbird is an excellent e-mail client, though with the advent of very good webmail clients, the e-mail client is slowly moving into [...]
IE8, the enter key, and forms
November 23rd, 2010 Jason Thibeault Today, working on my work mail server’s admin interface, I discovered that IE8 treats submitted forms differently from all other browsers on the market. Including previous versions of Internet Explorer, at that. The de facto standard is, if you have multiple forms that post to a single script, and you want that script to check [...]
If it smells like Funk, it must be astrology
July 14th, 2010 Jason Thibeault 
Yeah, I made a Black Eyed Peas reference and a non-ad-hominem attack in the title. Whatcha gonna do about it? I’ll be cross-posting everything below the fold at his site and will add the link here momentarily. I’ve cross-posted it here, though it’s apparently still in moderation due to the copious amount of links. Update: [...]
How many terrorists will benefit from health care reform?
April 1st, 2010 Jason Thibeault It’s amazing to me that everyone’s getting all bent out of shape about America finally being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the present-day reality that health care works better when the vultures standing between you and your doctors (e.g. the insurance companies) are put into some measure of check. I mean, really. You don’t have [...]
Christian Video Games Part 2: Wisdom Tree’s roots
January 27th, 2010 Jason Thibeault When I left off yesterday, I’d given you an overview of Wisdom Tree’s more horrible offerings. But of course, I’m not done yet — not while they still exist. And they do still exist, you know. And their idea of taking existing video game concepts and grafting Bible quizzes on them is now practically a [...]
