The shooting in that school is super tragic, and each detail that they find next makes me a little sicker when thinking about the whole thing. That being said, I’m already seeing the media bite on this a little to hard, so I’m predicting by this weekend they will have found way in which to [...]
I love Live CD’s. They are a CD that you toss in your computer and run an entire operating system right off of it…no hard drive required. The even better part is that a lot of new distributions of linux are building the installer right into their Live CD, so that means you boot your [...]
Current Mood: contemplativeI’m afraid of taking pride in myself. I’m afraid of this because I know it is a deceptively hard thing to see. I know that lots of people who have pride issues have no idea that they are taking pride in themselves. This scares me as my tendency is to lean in that [...]
It is no secret that I’m a little bit of a news-junkie. My strong ‘need to know’ cycles focus between various topics from technology to current events to politics to whatever else strikes my fancy at that moment. But for the most part, I’m pretty constantly absorbing some form of current news or tech-related information [...]

If you listen to Dave Schmelzer preach about having fights in relationships he always says something I’ve found profound in the last couple of years. (September 10, 2006 – a good example of one of these sermons) He says “feel your feelings, but don’t trust them.” And usually follows up with advice about leading into [...]
They now have all of Pipers 25 years of preaching on his website. Or as much of it as they have available anyway. Check it out if you get the chance. DesiringGod.org I’m particularly excited about this because I listen to him sometimes on the radio, and when I first started listening they played a [...]
Since everyone seems to be all talking about important stuff like Pope’s and wars and such, I thought I would lend more of a completely trivial note to my corner of the blogosphere. I can not wait to see the Nintendo Wii in action in my living room. For those of you who don’t follow [...]
I hate iTunes 7 much less than all previous versions. The album flipping thing is pretty neat. You all should try it out, since it adds support for buying movies and such from the iTunes store if you are into such things. http://www.apple.com/itunes I really like where Apple has been going with their products lately. [...]
Ubuntu is a word in some African language that means “Humanity to Others”. It is also the name of the distribution of Linux that I use. It was created by a South African guy who got rich on the internet boom, and he is working hard to get African countries who have the means to [...]
Wonder why I’ve been on this Linux kick lately? http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS3179571720.html http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_rc1_worst.asp These two articles sum it up pretty well. The first one is a bit biased, but the second one is written by a guy who started a pro-windows website. ( Minor rant about windows Vista )
