Atheism Aug 24, 08, 10:36 a.m.

Interesting article:

Polls show that many voters would be disinclined to vote for an "atheist" for president. The most common explanation being that someone who isn't afraid of divine retribution can't be moral.

Most of these people would probably be surprised to know that they have elected many non-believers in the past. This is a guess about who these might have been in the recent past.

Best CMS for folio Aug 21, 08, 8:12 a.m.

I've become interested in the idea of using a CMS for the next generation of my portfolio site, wondering which one you guys would recommend. I'll need something more robust than Indexexhibit. It's going to basically be a 4 or 5 section site with portfolio thumbnails and a detail page for each portfolio item. I want to be able to completely control the layout and integrate pieces of Flash into the site as well. Any ideas?
