I guess I am a bright. But I think this new name sucks, and is not a meme that will last. I’ll stick with agnostic I think. Opinion piece here by Daniel Dennett.

The time has come for us brights to come out of the closet. What is a bright? A bright is a person with a naturalist as opposed to a supernaturalist world view. We brights don’t believe in ghosts or elves or the Easter Bunny — or God. We disagree about many things, and hold a variety of views about morality, politics and the meaning of life, but we share a disbelief in black magic — and life after death.

Oh yeah, the AbulCam is back! I have it set so I can easily swap it between Ares (the server for abulsme.com) and Zeus (my Powerbook). It is updating the website with pictures every minute when it is hooked to Zeus, more often (for now) when it is hooked to Ares (since it is a local file save instead of an ftp). Woo! Of course, this means I have to start making sure I’m decent when the camera is on again. Oh well. I should be able to do that. :-)

(I did eliminate the “Eating” section of the site since I’ve been doing really badly at going through those 100 restaurants closest to my place, plus I’m moving in a month anyway.)

Oh, and if anybody else has iChatAV and a video camera, Video Chat me at “Abulsme” on iChatAV. I want to try that. :-)

In just a couple seconds I’m leaving to go meet Brandy (my agent) to sign some more papers and turn in some more financial documentation as part of me buying a house. Less than a month until closing. Gulp!

Of course, once I’m at her office, I realized I’ll be close to an Apple Store. Well, maybe not right next door, but not too far away. And I am getting a hankering for that iSight. Now, I’m buying a house right now. And I’m going to have to get stuff for the house. And I’m doing the next random trip shortly. I really should not be spending money. But it isn’t THAT much, right? Right? Pooh. We’ll see if I am able to resist or not. I really should wait a few months. We’ll see.
