First Webcam Video

I just bought a new webcam, installed it, and posted my first video with it to Facebook earlier today. And then I figured that if I'm using this blog to nakedly reflect the "real me," this would be a good place to post the video as well. Actually, I plan to post more videos of myself here over time, if I can think of anything to talk about, but this is my first foray into such Internet visibility.

Osama's Choice

In a new video obtained somehow by the U.S. government prior to its official release by al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden says that we can avoid further terrorist attacks by embracing Islam.

Suppose that you were faced with a choice between embracing Islam or dying in a terrorist attack. Which would you choose if you HAD to choose one or the other? I'm inclined to say that I would choose the latter, unless I could somehow get away with pretending to do the former. But suppose you couldn't pretend. Which would you choose?
