And speaking of Creationists, the fine Ali-G work of genius where he has a panel on science and evolution with a fundamentalist and a "futurist," among others, is also on ze YouTube.
I've rarely shed more tears of laughter than the first time I saw this, what with him convincing everyone how stupid "youth" can be while simultaneously revealing the ignorant jackass colors of the Creationist himself. Bouncing from evolutionary biology to scatological humor and back -- how does he stay in character while this is unfolding in front of him?
As you may have noticed, the site has changed. Sampa, the free-site host, did a version 2 of some sort.
Despite an FAQ that made it sound like allowing one's site to go through v.2 surgery would be okay, there were several flexibilities that surprisingly disappeared with the click of a button. (e.g. I cannot believe sidebars like this one are even narrower than before.)
And I'm told -- miraculously! -- that the conversion cannot be undone. Truth be told, I'm actually quite pissed. But free is free. Sampa has otherwise been good to me.
So I need to sort through site "features" to see how I can make do. Except that I don't have the time at the moment, in the middle of graduate classes and Lighthousehockey.com. (btw, I've removed that Lighthouse RSS feed so that you're not clogged with random Islanders hockey gibberish).
But I promise to touch up the accessories when I get a chance, and return to irregularly scheduled blogging.
