Climategate: Not a conspiracy, but…
Unlike some conspiracy theorists, I never bought into global warming as some conspiracy. I have been following this since Dr. James Hansen of NASA testified in congress about his alarmism. I was senior at Penn State when we had an extremely warm summer, and Congress called for hearings. Well, I have been on the skeptic side of the fence, but not far from the fence. Despite what some would think about my religious leanings, have never abandoned science and am always questioning the results until the observations become overwhelming. Since I am an atmospheric scientist by trade and study, the ...
Tired of the Hot Air again
I'm getting tired of the distractions and feel that I need to vent, because the gate keepers of the media, both left and right insist on talking about things of no consequence. What am I talking about? I try to remain balanced in the things that I read so that I can see issues from both sides. I don't care whether it is left or right that has proposed it. I care if it would work and be beneficial. As I wrote in an earlier post, I have drifted to become libertarian in thinking. The problem that I have with the ...
Random Theological thoughts…
With all of the things going on in my life, it is easy for me to be blinded to the things that God is trying to show me through my day to day routine. With the arrival of Remmy Rozaland McNamara, I feel the need to slow down and look at the things around me. Remmy started things off with the pondering, did she take her first breath? or did she say the name of God? Next, I threw a polemic out on Facebook chastising all of us, for feel good (lead by Hollywood) giving to Haiti. I had to explain to ...
My thoughts on Climategate
I was going to write something longer, but the video from Canadian Broadcasting Company sums up my ideas. My position has always been that the science, based on model predictions is not complete and that the physics incorporated in the models while always getting better will not emulate the world perfectly. There has been some evidence of some warming, but I have always had my doubts about the man-made parts. Not that we don't contribute, but I don't think to the extent that they have been alarming. I also think that don't practice good stewardship, and when God said to ...

A New Blog to Read!
I stumbled upon this blog, after I friended this person on Facebook. I was puzzled at first, thinking don’t I know this person? The writing style seems oddly familiar. Oh yeah, it’s my dad. He actually started a couple of new blogs recently. This one is his recollection of stories that start when he was a junior in high school. This post... [Read more of this review]
Fair Use What Does It Entail?
Earlier tonight, my wife began posting some videos of our daughter in a school play. In fact, I wanted to create a post of the play list to show here as well. However, someone from the school saw them and asked her if she would take them down so the school doesn’t get into trouble with the Rogers and Hammerstein Organization who licenses the performances....

Why Church? – Real World Parents
Youth Specialties has a web site that is meant to help parents of teenagers called Real World Parents. As a step parent of a couple of teens and a couple of young adults, I try to read up on these things. I also look into this, so that I can pass along information to other parents, since I am also a leader in our churches youth ministry. I think this... [Read more of this review]
