<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Just a few interesting links.</p>
 <p>First a short story: <a
 href='https://popehat.com/2015/11/18/the-current-refugee-crisis/'>The Current
 Refugee Crisis</a> by Clark over at PopeHat. (Courtesy of <a
 href='http://voxday.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/the-current-refugee-crisis.html'>Vox
 Day</a>)</p>
 
 <p>Particularly for any European readers: <a
 href='https://www.change.org/p/council-of-the-european-union-eu-you-cannot-stop-terrorism-by-restricting-legal-gun-ownership?recruiter=197547181&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink'>A
 Petition regarding firearms in the EU</a>.</p>
 
 <p>Finally: Apparently Today is <a
 href='http://www.castaliahouse.com/remembering-poul-anderson/'>Poul Anderson's
 birthday</a>; grab one of his books to celebrate. I haven't read heaps of his
 writing, but what I have read has been universally excellent.</p>

 </p>
 
 <p>So far the only dastardly deeds I've done has been arguing with <acronym
 title="Social Justice Warrior">SJW</acronym>s on Reddit, but we've all got to
 start somewhere. Maybe, just maybe, I'll actually start posting here somewhat
 regularly.</p>
 
 <p class="post_edit">-- EDIT: 2016-01-04 --</p>
 
 <p>The Vile Faceless Minions are moving towards a more private policy because
 of some concerns about people trying to disemploy them. I'll be staying
 involved in a more public capacity, but I'm stepping back from being an actual
 "minion".</p>

<p>I'm kind of disillusioned that the world didn't end yesterday. If you can't
 trust crazy people's interpretation of ancient rocks what can you trust? Next
 we'll be finding out that Aliens didn't actually build the Pyramids. :-P</p>

 [...]]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>A review <a
 	href="http://armariummagnus.blogspot.com/2009/10/gods-philosophers-how-medieval-world.html">God's
 	Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern
 	Science</a>. I strongly recommend reading this post; It's both entertaining
 and educational. Note the title of this post is not a reference to Author
 himself, but rather something he talks about in his post (about a third of the
 way down).</p>
 
 <p>I also recommend the review of <a
 href="http://armariummagnus.blogspot.com/2010/05/gods-battalions-case-for-crusades-by.html">God's Battalions: The Case for the Crusades</a>
 by the same author. It was also an eye opener, but I was a bit more
 uncomfortable reading it; mostly because I actually agreed [Past tense is
 intentional] with the Author of the book he was reviewing.</p>
 
 <p>Hattip to <a href='http://tjic.com/?p=15903'>TJIC</a> for pointing out that
 blog.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>David Malki over at Wondermark has started a <a
 	href='http://wondermark.com/here-lies/'>thread on epitaphs</a>, and here's
 my submission:</p>
 
 <blockquote>
 	<p>* Fade from black; a face shrouded in shadow appears. *</p>
 
 	<p>"Is this thing on? … Ah, good. Greetings people of Earth. My name is
 	Tim P... well my last name isn't important. If you're watching this, sometime in
 	the past six months I have passed away. May I rest in peace."</p>
 
 	<p>"You may be wondering why this is relevant to you. It's quite simple really;
 	most people are only really remembered for a few decades after they death at
 	best before slipping into obscurity. I wish to avoid this fate, and still be
 	talked about for centuries or even millennia to come."</p>
 
 	<p>"To that end I have constructed twelve nuclear warheads and positioned them
 	in orbit. In 48 hours one [holds up one finger] of these missiles will be
 	fired at one of twelve major cities."</p>
 
 	<p>* A list of twelve cities including Tokyo, Paris, Moscow, Los Angeles, etc
 	are displayed along with approximate populations, and Latitude-Longitude. *</p>
 
 	<p>"It is up to you to choose which one. Simply go to nuclearepitaph.com and
 	vote for the city you would like to see destroyed."</p>
 
 	<p>* Change back to the shadowy face. *</p>
 
 	<p>"Please note that if less than one million votes are received, or if the
 	nuclearepitaph.com site is taken down, all twelve warheads will be
 	deployed."</p>
 
 	<p>"Thank you and good bye."</p>
 
 	<p>* Fade to a stock image of a nuclear explosion. *</p>
 </blockquote>
 
 <p>It does lack the traditional style of a block of rock with your name and a
 pithy quote, but the very fact that's it's unusual is what makes it so memorable
 (well that and the radioactive crater).</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTTzwJsHpU8">A song about Internet
 	Explorer</a>. I don't actually have to develop for IE, but whenever a
 customer finds a bug before our testing team I'm the first to hear about it.An
 interesting thing I've observed from these various bug reports is that nearly
 every display bug happens in only one specific browser; can you guess which
 one?</p>
