Finally had chance to finish the e-commerce site I put together for Gina.
For lovely hand drawn and hand painted cards please take a look.
If people are committed to an unscientific position, no evidence or argument will shake them out of it. Whether they subscribe to AIDS denial, excessive fear of radiation, vaccine scaremongering, homeopathy or creationism, they tend to demand impossible standards of proof from their opponents but to accept any old rubbish that supports their beliefs.
So if you are among those who reject the vast weight of scientific evidence for manmade climate change, I don’t expect this article to persuade you. Ask yourself what it would take to change your mind. If tens of thousands of peer-reviewed papers, against a tiny handful supporting your position; basic physics, demonstrable in a lab; instrumental temperature records spanning 150 years and much else on these lines can’t sway you, what could?
Conversely, which claims will you not accept? Do you believe that volcanoes produce more carbon dioxide than human beings? That the hockey-stick graph of global temperatures is a fake? That global warming is a conspiracy cooked up between governments and scientists? If none of the science persuades you, but you accept these groundless claims, your belief is likely to be a religious one, by which I mean unamenable to refutation.
A great cut of my Favourite Film Ever, Jack Burton at his best:)
Movember strikes!
No really. Someone has forked Angband to make a My Little Pony variant - it’s called Anquestria.
Utterly insane idea. Utterly brilliant. Tolkein is going to have to re-write The Silmarillion to record how Morgoth, mightiest of the Ainur, fell in battle against Sunlight Sparkle the pink unicorn.
Decided to move to Tumblr and created retro-inspired theme using Masonry.js and InfiniteScroll. Should have done this ages ago, really like the single-page format and slightly chaotic effect.
Better dead than smeg…
