Commentary, Comments, and MT3

Anybody know how comments work in MT3? I’ve gotten several and “approved” them but they don’t show up.

Including one from John Fleck who sends us to the hilarious God Hates Shrimp website.

Well, although I think it’s funny, I should note that, while Levitican law does prohibit consumption of all sorts of foods, most of the food taboos are repealed in Paul. It’s still a pointed critique of overliteral interpretation of the Bible, but not one likely to make much headway against its presumed audience– given that it’s really just preaching to the choir.

We’re all just preaching to the choir.

Or pissing into the wind. Or something.

Anyway, back to working on the Next Great Competitive Whitepaper.

Joy in Work

Today I started writing a competitive whitepaper; I’ve been working on a lot of these. They’re fun because at the draft stages at least you get to say things like “[Competitor] is a pernicious weed.” as your outline summaries.

Later on you have to go back to explain that [Competitor] is a well-respected and challenging rival, but even at the end, everyone who reads it knows you mean that they are pernicious weeds.

Service Expansion

Doc Sharp has upgraded my MT for me, booya.

Maybe he should run the T, and we’d get upgrades in transit. What kind of transit service decides that, despite growth in population and pollution, we need no more train service? Yeah, OK, we’re short on cash this year. Let’s plan for expansion. Let’s plan for savings. Let’s automate anything we can. Public transit gets no respect.

My parents say I should channel my anger into political change. Odd, I was under the impression that generally didn’t work.
