Well, I think this is where I’ll stick my blog for now. Self-hosting isn’t a real good option as I don’t want to pay for another domain, and a sub-domain of an exisiting one reveals too much personal information. I didn’t like some of the other blog sites I’ve looked at, but this one seems …
If you’ve ever talked to me about web development, you know I’m a hard core Mozilla/Firefox fanboy. Mozilla and Firefox are faster, safer, and more standards-compliant for starters. Something else I really like about the browsers that has really been climbing the scale for me is useability. From the features builtin to the browsers to …
Brian’s a good friend of mine. He and I are a lot a like in many ways. Both politically and theologically, we’re very similar, with only what I consider to be minor differences of opinions. One area in which we are in lock-step agreement is our opposition to the scourge of abortion. We both find …
Every day, there is a set of web comics I read. I even have an application setup on a server at home that aggregates these comics on to one page to make viewing these comics easier and faster. One such comic is Player vs. Player, one I’ve read for years. While the strip is consistently …
One of the greatest canards in modern public life, in my opinion, is the alleged "wall of separation" between church and state. The idea is that The Framers wanted a government devoid of any religion at all. I think history adequately shows, though, that that’s not the case. What they wanted, rather, was a religion …
Well, I finally did it. Last Thursday, I gave my notice to Hobby Lobby. As one might expect, my boss wasn’t too excited about it, but he said he wasn’t too surprised. He’s known that I’ve not been too happy for a while. Part of my discontent was the adoption of .Net. The rest (and …
A little political/religious joke. Enjoy! 🙂 A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee …
Here is a letter I mailed to The Daily Oklahoman concerning the upcoming vote regarding Governor Henry’s Gambling for Education proposition: Oklahoma voters are being bombarded with commercials admonishing us to vote for SQ 705 and 706 to create a state lottery. According to these spots, this lottery will save our schools, hopefully much better …
One of the things you hear preached is that Christ changes a person from the inside out, and I believe that to be true. In my own life, I can see the change being made, little by little. That change, though, is not wrought solely by the work of the Spirit. There has to be …
This weekend, in preparation for our upcoming jaunt to the islands of Hawaii and Kauai, I spent this last weekend doing scuba certification with Adventure Sports. Each day was spent in the class room, studying the minutia of diving, as well as time spent in both a swimming pool, for the closed-water dives, and a …
