I really want to do a redesign of my site. If anyone has any ideas for colors or anything please let me know.

I changed my homepage to only show the last five days of updates.

About falsifiability:
I can say there's a giant big blue rubber thumb out in outer space somewhere, and that's impossible for us to falsify. Unless you have reason to believe that there is, in fact, a big blue rubber thumb in outer space, then believing that it is so is arbitrary and groundless.

Found a cool link at Lingua Franca:

Soul Survivor: The Logic of Reincarnation.

I didn't realize that Plato believed that reincarnation accounted for our knowledge of forms. Unfortunately it doesn't work, since, 1. if the soul isn't eternal, where did we first learn the forms anyway? 2. if the soul is eternal, then why believe in reincarnation rather than just an a priori knowledge of all forms? and 3. regardless of whether the soul is eternal or not, his entire system requires an infinite number of forms and collapses under its own weight.

I liked the article though, although it didn't ask the obvious question: why believe in reincarnation in the first place? It may be impossible to prove one or the other empirically, but it's arbitrary to believe in reincarnation. What reasons can one give as to why he believes in it? Arbitrariness is not a way to set up one's worldview.

Quick note about my weblog. My main page will show the last 10 days worth of entries. If you want more go to my weblog page. Also, I know it's all very ugly right now. That'll change soon. Well, at least it'll get better .

Alrighty! I finally got around to fixing my weblog management program. The reason I hadn't been updating my weblog for awhile was because there was no way to do it without going to my shell and sending SQL queries directly to MySQL at the command line. Now that it's fixed it's a piece of cake to edit or add to my weblog.

It's late and I want to go to bed soon, so here are a few quick links:
Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary System. It's an amazing fighting system used by Navy Seals.
The Matrix goes to school

In other news today, EditPlus is now at version 2.00b! The best text editor for Windows just got better. Now it has built in FTP support, which was number one on my wish list for it. I almost never have to open up an FTP client again! Night all.

(10:03 PM) I totally didn't make it through the day... I fell asleep at like 5:00 or so and slept 'til around 8:30.

(1:30PM) Just playing with this thing. I'm excited that it's all working. I have to remove this stupid date field. It makes everything ugly Oh yeah, I haven't slept since my last update... or since whenever it was I woke up yesterday. In other news, I finished With Good Reason today. Good book. I feel more logical already.

Oh, and I finally went out and bought some Melatonin. We'll see how well it works... today was the perfect day to go out and get it... one in which I've been up straight through the night .

Also, I think I'm going to go out now and buy a Moody Blues CD and maybe the Ladder, by Yes. Yeah yeah, it's cheesy, but I feel like it.
