So to give the readers who don’t know anything about me (current estimate: 0) a little introduction, I decided to interview the author and find out a little about him.
RJC - So tell me a little about yourself.
RJC - Wait….aren’t you, me?
RJC - Yes.
RJC - How are you interviewing me? Or….or am I interviewing you?
RJC - ….
So tell me a little about yourself.
RJC - Seriously, that’s a lame question.
RJC - Oh, for crying out loud, just tell me where you go to school, your major etc.
RJC - Alright, alright (sheesh). I am a senior at Texas A&M University and I am studying Computer Engineering. etc.
RJC - So you’re in the Aggie Band?
RJC - Yes.
RJC - Care to elaborate on “yes”?
RJC - What?
RJC - Elucidate! Tell us about the band!
RJC - Oh. The Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band is a military style marching band that is a unit within the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. We perform at all home football games, several away games, and other university functions.
RJC - And what are you doing after college?
RJC - My education comes courtesy of the US Navy, so I’ll be learning to drive submarines when I graduate.
RJC - Speaking of submarines…
RJC - Yes, I was on a sub this summer. We did go to the North Pole. This is me:
RJC - So why do you have a link called “Bible” on your blog?
RJC - It’s a good book
RJC - But didn’t that all get disproved back in the 50’s? You know, with science and …stuff.
RJC - You mean the whole alleged conflict between Faith and Science?
RJC - Sure…
RJC - Yeah, that’s a hyped up (by mass media) myth. Fact is, everyone relies on both faith and science for what they beleive in. Christianity is a very rational religion (Christians invented science), and I wouldn’t believe it if it didn’t make sense. On the other hand, atheistic scientists have to have faith. How do we know that the laws of physics will be the same tomorrow as they are today? We don’t, we just kind of assume that. Or how do you know that everything you think exists actually exists? You could be dreaming. You could be in the Matrix!
RJC - Matrix, huh? So you’re a geek?
RJC - The operating system on my computer is Ubuntu Linux.
RJC - Yeah, that’s what I meant.
RJC - I switched because I wanted better performance from my computer, but now I just love all the little things that I’ve gotten used to: workspaces, a usable termal, being able set windows as “Always on top”, ssh/scp, package manager, rythmbox, etc.
RJC - So what’s the best thing you ever seen, done, or eaten?
RJC - Mountain Dew.
RJC - OK, that a wrap. Thanks for watching our program, folks. We be back…um…later.
