- While Alex Kuczynski's examination of the fondness for the film, Groundhog Day by Jews, Christians, and Buddhists alike is interesting, Gothamist found a major flaw in the article. In the film, arrogant weatherman Phil Connors is faced with living February 2 over and over again, and goes from grumpy and frustrated to slowly living his days more constructively once he realizes he's caught in February 2 forever, thus different religions alight to the concept: Buddhists can see samsara, "the continuing cycle of rebirth that Buddhists regard as suffering that humans must try to escape"; Jews can see Murray's character being rewarded by "returning to earth to perform more mitzvahs good deeds rather than gaining a place in heaven"; and Catholics associate the "deadness of his life at the beginning the movie" and each day, he is reborn and "what is reborn is this new person resurrected from his comatose way of looking at the world. |

Cold calls (Dec 08 2003 10:54 GMT) - It seems that telemarketing companies in the US are feeling the pinch from the national do not call list. They are now moving into Europe. I have been on the receving end of several calls including one most recently from a woman with a very strong Indian accent who said she was calling from New York - interestingly my caller ID showed she was calling from a very long number than began with 091, but I' fairly certain she wasn't calling from Galway. Is this to be the new spam, that we are unable to get any work done because we have to keep answering the phone? |

- Los Elfos se sentaron en la hierba hablando juntos en voz baja; parecan haberse olvidado de los hobbits. Frodo y sus amigos se envolvieron en capas y mantas y una pesada somnolencia cay sobre ellos. La noche avanz y las luces del valle se apagaron. Pippin se durmi, la cabeza apoyada en un montculo verde. |

- Has anyone else just been spammed by GlobalWorldTech? I've just got an email from them saying that they found my email address from my Ecademy profile. There are three Ecademy members who mention the company in their profile, but none of them are "John" who sent me the email. The contact wasn 't made thru any of Ecademy's systems, but in an email. If anyone is thinking of doing any business with them it's worth pointing out that their web site includes Javascript code that only works in Internet Explorer so they're obviously not as skilled as they claim. |
