Former Navy Chaplain "Dr. Chaps" Gordon Klingenschmitt recently praised Republican lawmakers for fighting Senate Bill 815, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013.

According to BusinessWeek.com, ENDA would make it illegal for employers to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The U.S. already bans job discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, or sex.

During his Internet TV program, "Pray In Jesus Name," Klingenschmitt claimed that gay activists are using the U.S. government to legally force Christians "to participate in their sodomy" or face lawsuits and imprisonment, notes RightWingWatch.org .

"Sodomy will always be a sin in the eyes of God, even if its legal in Massachusetts, but now they want to force Christians to participate in this and they are forcing us at the point of the government sword to participate in their sin. If we Christians don't participate in their sodomy, then we can be sued, bankrupted and jailed," claimed Klingenschmitt.

Times like these make me glad I'm not a Christian.

Today's the day I start moving this mess to a new host. I'm sick of the load delays.

The baby brother of a much larger, industrial machine that can be found in a number of establishments in Atlanta (where the company hails from), the Monsieur can mix thousands of drinks and features a touchscreen menu of everything it has to offer. It also comes complete with themes such as Cinco de Mayo and serves the appropriate drinks to go along with such as margaritas or mojitos. Users can increase or reduce the strength of any desired drink or even ask for a non-alcoholic version. Or, for the more adventurous, there’s always the “surprise me” button. The more the machine is used, the better it becomes at understanding its owners’ tastes and preferences.

However, this wouldn’t be a truly ‘smart’ gadget if it didn’t come complete with an app, and the Monsieur is no exception. The app can be used to remotely order and mix a drink while you’re not at home and the machine can use the app to know when you’re coming home and what sort of drink it should have ready for your return. Even cooler, or creepier (whichever way you choose to look at it), the Monsieur connects to your Wi-Fi network and can recognize when you come home based on your mobile joining the network. He can also ascertain if you’ve got company based on how many people join the network when you arrive home and make enough drinks to satisfy your guests.

It can also send you a text message to your local liquor store to schedule deliveries, when the booze runs low.

$1500 for the 'Mini', $2700 for the full-sized. Right now, though, it's on a Kickstarter.

I love a good dialect survey. And this one not only figured out my home region correctly:

It also has a sweet heat map image at the end:

Yep, that's me!

Legal Systems Very Different From Ours

iOS7 is ugly.

I hate the flat solid color look.

Update:
Also, every time I plug the iPhone into my PC to charge, it asks me if I trust this computer. Every time. According to the internet, the solution is to install the latest iTunes. But I will not install iTunes on my work PC just so my phone won't complain about the quality of the electrons it's getting from it. That is some insane bullshit.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is out (iOS only), and it is sucking up every last second of my, and my wife's, free time.

It's awesome, as was the first one. This just does everything a little bigger.

My only complaint is that it's a little tough to play on my iPhone 4S screen. I sometimes fat-finger things and put plants in the wrong place; and precise plant placement is crucial to getting through many of the levels. Wife plays on her iPad Mini, which seems like the perfect size.

Don't make me buy an iPad, PvZ.
