Man was not an accident

One of the things that is frustrating about critics of evolution is that none of them seem to know anything about it. Evolution does not happen randomly or accidentally. Natural selection is based on consequences. For an individual organism, aspects of selection may seem random, but in the aggregate the process is highly predictable. Natural selection is not accidental. Natural selection is an inexorable processor of information about the natural world, transcribing data about the world into the information storage devices that we call species. Man was not an accident. But that is the central message of evolution, not a reason to reject evolution.

t Saving the image, to look at it more later and be even more pleased and proud

So, first of all, my computer is alive again! Well, not exactly, since it's a different computer. But most of my stuff was copied to it, I didn't lose everything, and slowly and gradually I'm house-breaking it to become my computer, rather than just "a" working computer. So that's good.

And now, since I will probably not have and computer access tomorrow anyway, even though there's already a computer to access again, I can post that according to Jon B. "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Jun 2, 2005 6:29:58 pm PDT, tomorrow, June 1, will be Jon and FAQwife's anniversary, and to wish them both a great day and a wonderful year together.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every chapter starts with the wee mouse peeking out from the top of the page.

HEE! SO cute!!! Love the cover too!

Hi, Nilly!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you have a computer back anyway and that you didn't lose anything.

I accepted a job offer to work for a company in Fells Point. Which will make my commute oh about 1/2 as long as it currently is if not shorter. Now I have to work up the nerve to tell my boss. There will be tears. Mine anyway.

I spilled my coffee (thank dog not all of it) on my pants as I was getting out of my car at work this a.m. Classy!

In more fun news, my band may be playing in Las Vegas in August at this great big rollerderby convention thing. Am beyond excited at the prospect!!!

Between my boss and I, we've been on hold with Comcast for over three hours.

I've been calling the east coast for technical support for days. Because some users don't seem to understand the concept of calling technical support themselves. Despite the fact that I am in no way connected to their problem.

NOT YR SYSADMIN KTHX.

Comcast bought out Time Warner in our area, so we technically have to switch over to them for our internet. I have heard horror stories. I am not looking forward to it. I mean, it's hard to believe they could be worse than TW, but still, horror stories.
