A story about the Anglican Church

I found this story on Yahoo News! about the seperation of the Anglican Church, which to me seems so damn stupid, because that no matter what church that you might belong too unable or unwilling to change simply that they must (or generally) follow the bible.

This whole thing about gays in general seems so stupid but you can’t really change people, they are who they are. But, in this case, everyone should find somekind of common ground about having gays openly in the Anglican Church or any other church for that fact.

Apple & Firewire

This story I found interesting because Apple is one of the companies that helped to create Firewire and related field (sp?), Granted by removing firewire technology from IPod’s, which in turn helps reduce the price, but to me it just seems stupid that Apple would retreat from using firewire on IPod’s.

If are interested in PHP…. you might like this story.

I found this story interesting about Big Blue and PHP. Well,now there is another way to create back end applications for websites and such. But hey more options of using PHP and the embrace of PHP by IBM which could be a good thing, maybe, over time.

Wired News: Quit Your Job to Blog, Blog, Blog

I saw this story through My Yahoo, and I thought this interesting and share it with other’s who are reading this blog. This story is 2 pages long, and tells you how to make a living by having ads on your blog, etc. The person who is the focus of this story is one of a few people who are quiting their jobs and blogging on a full time regular basis. The reaction to this type change can vary, but then, I think it would get boring after while of just dong blogging all of time.

This might be an interesting topic to talk about whether if its in a class room or else where.

Yahoo! News – Hotel to Open at Hitler’s Alpine Retreat

This story Yahoo! News – Hotel to Open at Hitler’s Alpine Retreat, for some reason strikes me wrong that a hotel company would turn something from a WWII era resort that Hitler used into a very high-class resort for the really rich folks who can afford the price for this place.

But then I could try and see where many people of the Jewish faith could get really upset, I would too, to some degree.

Its just that I knew someone from my childhood that belongs to the Jewish faith who came from a good middle class family (from what I remember, but I’m going back atleast 15 yrs or so) , and a typical American family. From knowing this person growing up, in a way sort of, to see where some people of the Jewish faith might not like this prospect of a hotel going into this location.

Read the story to get the details before posting comments to this blog.

P.S. please try not to hold me to what I have said in this post, thanks. I might or will remove this post if there alot of negtive comments to this post.
