Movie review: 2 Nekos went Ultraviolet(but remained logical)

“I like to learn from movies,” Jenney folded her hands just after correcting her glasses. “And?” Krisp smiled. She had already stood up, being unable to sit still for long times. “What?” “Did you learn anything from Ultraviolet?” “That swords make excellent torches.” “I knew that!” “It is new to me,” Jenney said. “Everyone knows.”…

Ceci n’est pas un prohète

Ceci n’est pas un prohète It is hard not to say something… One cannot stay silent in a world where silence is demanded by thugs with delude minds and possibly a well founded grudge against the world they lived in. Islam plays undeniably a part in the Charlie Hebdo atrocities, but at the same time…

BURN2 2014 Santalarity: What’s in the Box?

A few days ago Santalarity closed. Santalarity is a spin-off from Burn 2, the burning man art festival in Second Life. Tau hitched a ride on the small train that went around the site and then got sidetracked in a forest. Since I liked this forest with it strange trees, I decided to take…

Stefan Molyneux! Because paying taxes sucks!

Philosophy is like lighting a room with cigarettes: not very practical and possibly unhealthy(and it makes you smell bad). It is a bit of a forced statement, but it reflects how I feel after having seen some philosophical discussions. These discussions tend to become quoting contests in which the one who can quote the best or the most wins…

Black Peter(Zwarte Piet): Intolerance and popular politics

On the evening of the fifth of December Saint Nicolas and his helper Black Peter(Zwarte Piet) bring sweets and presents to children(small and large!). Of late this ‘tradition’ has received criticism because of the depiction of Zwarte Piet. Some people feel that his blackness combined with his servile role towards the white skinned Saint Nicholas creates…

Someone I used to know(a post about little stories)

Dragon Age: Inquisition: The good, the bad and the …bland?

About this post(and others) I planned a long winded boring post on Dragon Age Inquisition and after reading the draft I deleted the draft and decided to redo it in a more fun style. So I let my two Nekos chat about Dragon Age. I had to bribe them with ice-cream because Jenney Penney doesn’t play…

The second life scrapbook: Liz goes into Second Life..

I like pictures, but they take a lot of time to make so I wanted to write some posts about my (and other people’s) experiences in Second Life without some definite purpose and perhaps post some shoddy pictures while I am writing. It will be a scrapbook that might make for some amusing reads, for when you…

I am no atheist!

Some days ago I lost a post I was writing about ‘my’ atheism. Strangely enough it was a wordpress article and normally wordpress saves your work, but I can’t find the post. I did find the picture I uploaded. Perhaps I lost the post when I turned of the computer while traditionally ignoring all the…
