Oprah Clarifies Her Thoughts About The Secret]]>After watching the DVD and seeing The Oprah Show about The Secret, Kim wrote to Oprah after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Three doctors told Kim she would have to have a partial radical mastectomy of the right breast and treatment. Kim writes that "after much thought, I have decided to heal myself." Her letter caught Oprah's attention, and she wanted to talk to Kim.
Oprah tells Kim she believes that The Secret is merely a tool; it's not treatment. "The medical community, as we know, have been able to perform what some people call miracles," Oprah says. "And while you're taking advantage of that, think as positively [as you can]. Think about attracting healing to yourself, think about the goodness that the healing will bring to yourself."
I'm underwhelmed
]]>Be careful, science is dangerous. Nerds get so lazy from all their science making that they only have enough strength to stare into space, talk to the internet, or drive their electric wheelchairs.
Sometimes nerds get angry. If too many nerds are angry at one time, electricity stops working and nuclear bombs go off. Damn you nerds! (but don't tell them i said that)
Luckily, normal people can reap the rewards of science without having to risk their own sanity, because nerds are happy to do science for you. They will except monetary compensation, but are also happy to work for social approval.
One final note. Logic tells us that all nerds wear glasses, but that not all people who wear glasses are nerds. You may not agree with this fact, but you'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise, as there are two sides to every story.
]]>But, in the interim I went and bought this audio book (actually, it is more of a recorded monologue); Dawkins mentioned it briefly in a youtube video i watched. It's written and performed by Julia Sweeney:
Julia Sweeney::Letting Go of God
I bought it on iTunes, and listened to it in one go. It made quite an impression. It is very funny, very poignant, and very intelligent. Sweeney uses autobiography as well as Dawkins uses rhetoric

Heard about this piece of software on the Mac Break Weekly podcast. It's writing software, targeted at the stage of writing where you are organising your thoughts and writing your first draft - it's not a word processor.
It's turning out to be FANTASTIC for thesis writing. I love the full screen writing mode - keeps me from distractions.
It's called Scrivener. You can find it here:
