Zelda Gripes

No comments

I’m about three hours into Zelda: The Twilight Princess, and I just now have obtained a sword and shield, and found out that I’m stuck as a wolf until I do something in the twilight relm. I don’t know if it is just me or what, but the “tutorial” phase of Zelda games has been [...]

On the other hand the following two loosing seasons had everything to do with John Shoop and [...]

Wii Voucher in Hand

No comments

I went to Best Buy this morning at about a quarter to 7 in the AM. I was about 34th in line. At nine the manager came out and handed out 63 vouchers for Wii systems, and said to come back when they open at 10 and hand the voucher to the customer service desk [...]

Video Game-less Sadness

Sunday Lauren tried to get me a Wii and surprise me, but she waited until Sunday afternoon to look, so there were none for her. She told me this in hopes that I would have better luck, being as I’m obsessed at the moment, so I started tracking restocking and trying to figure out who [...]

Is Maturity Really Conformity

No comments

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about conformity vs. maturity, how they are similar in churches, how they are different, and about how accountability has played into that in my life. Mostly I’ve been thinking about this in the sense that I feel like people are telling me I’m “growing up” or becoming more [...]

Wireless Power A Reality?

No comments

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6129460.stm This startling proposition of genius is brought to you by the smartest man you’ve never heard of, Nikola Tesla. He has been dead for something like 100 years. Had his funding not been cut back in the day, this might be how power got to your house today. This guy is so awesome, and [...]

Who Wants to Send me to Asia?

No comments

So, I was trolling around some forums looking for an answer to a question about the new version of Ubuntu, specifically related to the variant called Ubuntu – Christian Edition (which just has some internet filters and some bible stuff installed automatically), and I found this interesting organization. It is called the ICCM (International Conference [...]

Election Results

No comments

I’m pretty sure that ‘not Bush’ is now in control of the House. Other than that I think maybe the people in the US don’t like Iraq, so ‘not Bush’ might take the Senate as well (I haven’t read the news in a couple of hours so this might already be decided). If anyone else [...]

Oh Ted, I thought we all learned from the sex, drugs, and money scandals of the 80′s. http://cbs4denver.com/topstories/local_story_307134631.html Why then did you buy drugs, even if you didn’t use them? So silly. I’m often amazed by some of the things I’ve read that Billy Graham does to keep himself and his organization out of trouble. [...]
