Recent court cases

No comments

Current Mood:  thoughtfulAs most of you know the Supreme court is wrapping up it’s session right now, and handing down a lot of verdicts. I was going through my daily dose of headlines using my personalized google page (http://www.google.com/ig log in with your gmail address), and found this NY Times Article. And the judges responses [...]

OHHH THE IRONY

No comments

Current Mood:  lazySo instead of small group we had a mini-fun night. Only five regulars came, so we went to Lu’ces pizza (I can’t do th accent over the vowel, and I’m too lazy to look it up). It was a good time. We talked a little about what I wanted to talk about for [...]

Current Mood:  accomplishedSo I am prepping a lesson for small group today, and it occurs to me that while there have been times where this can be a real drag, right now I really miss doing it on a regular basis. I like talking about issues I’ve been thinking about in the Bible, and getting [...]

Absolutely sized stuff

No comments

Current Mood: busyWell, I caved and decided that at least my sidebar on the webpage I’m working on is going to be absolutely sized for this iteration of it’s layout and style. That is OK, it is working out super well, cuz I made a single image to do all the parts of the backdrop [...]

About Our effort and God

1 comment

Current Mood:  calmSo, my last post brought up some interesting conversation….mostly from arexchi, but he raised some interesting points that I thought were worth addressing seperately. The reason I want to address them seperately, is because I see them as a seperate issue from what I was feeling a little down about. I will detail [...]

Creativity and God

No comments

Current Mood:  contemplativeSometimes I think that I used to be more creative than I am now. I’m having a hard time solidifying my ideas into something that I can put on this webpage I’m working on. It is like they are these vauge fragments of something that is blurred, and every once in a while [...]

Tech goodness

No comments

Current Mood:  chipperThought I should offset the annoying web page talk with a little bit of tech goodness. The video card I want (any video card based on GeForce 6600GT w/ dual monitor support) is on newegg for not very much money. Linky for your viewing pleasure. It is always nice to get a $200+ [...]

CSS Pain

No comments

Current Mood:  aggravatedI don’t think it is possible to design a cool looking site, like any of the good submissions on the CSS Zen Garden without using some absolute positioning, and pixel offsets. ALL I WANT IS A DAMED EXPANDABLE WEBSITE. So people can make it big, and the content grows, or it can get [...]

Current Mood: DRUNK W/ AWESOME!OMG BATMAN WAS AWESOME. Like year one, and some other good shit ALL UP ONZ! I wanted to write a Neill Cumpston style review of this movie….but he has already covered, and who can really do better than the original. He pretty acurately covers my thoughts on the awesomenss of the [...]

Mondays Suck

No comments

I hate Mondays. I’m tired, I have a dull headache, I drank to much caffine so my leg is twitching while I’m about to fall asleep, and I just want to go home. But on the up-side, we bought a new desk and book/cd/dvd shelf yesterday, and I almost got both of them all the [...]

Death to IE

No comments

Current Mood:  aggravatedSquashing IE bugs, is like trying to kill termintes by steping on them…..you get rid of one, and like 8 million more pop up. The best is….I fixed something in IE, and it broke the Firefox layout, then I fixed something in Firefox, and it broke like 10 things in IE. I can’t [...]
