The Video (again)

Wow. That was not for the faint of stomach. Although i did not understand 75% of the video (as it was one Arabic male reading a really long letter in Arabic), it was nonetheless gruesome. One viewing is all that is necessary. Now, i do want to admit that some parts seemed scripted (or at least well-rehearsed), but it definitely seemed real.
Ha, now the irony is this: after watching the video and nearly wanting to go puke, i'm going to bed. No change in emotion. i have been desensitized to a recording of a real-life beheading. i'l go to my bed, lay down, and go to sleep. As if nothing happened. It's not important. i'm safe back at home in my bed with my A/C and electricity. That's it. Nobody really cares (even though they may scream real loudly of the atrocity). We all go about our day-to-day routines as if nothing happened because, due to our desensitization, nothing happened. How sad.

Rant

  • As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There's a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases. - #
  • Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don't know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed. - #
  • After a long wait, it is official.  I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology.  The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
  • I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I've fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate. - #
