With the big push to emphasize the “sanctity of life” my question is can a person lose their sanctity of life?  Does a criminal forfeit his right to a sacred life, or is the sanctity of life ever present and ongoing, something given to us from God?  If all life is sacred shouldn’t the death penalty be considered an abomination?  After reading this CNN story about lethal injections my hate for the death penalty resurfaced.  How on one hand you can fight to preserve the sanctity of life of a blastocyst, but not respect the life of a full grown human?  It frustrates me to the core.  At least be consistent with your policy.

A Ruby to Java compiler. It magically turns ruby source files into java class files. Interesting, interesting, interesting. I wonder if the JRuby guys have played with this at all and what they think of it? The better question is … why the hell haven’t I heard about this. It seems to have flown under my radar for a full year.

Deployed new features on Nearbie.com like history item commenting, history browsing (earlier and later for each item that makes up the history) and slowly adding more cities of the world (all Canada is imported — I think UK is next).

Enjoy!
