For a while now I’ve been getting this idea in my head that it would be a good idea to fast from the internet. I have mostly blown this off as that seems difficult for me since I practically breath the internet. But for Lent, I’m going to give it a shot. 46 days w/o [...]

I started a new game in zelda again. It is a little less annoying during the training mode because I don’t have to think much, just run through it. I’m an hour in and have just turned into the wolf. I’m wondering how long it will take me to get my green tunic, sword, and [...]

As some of you know, I had an issue with my wii that kept me from logging into the Wii Shop channel (store where you buy old games and download stuff like the web browser). Mostly it didn’t bug me that much since it didn’t effect me playing games. But, I know at some point [...]

If you would indulge me, I would like to take a moment for a bit of serious reflection on the impact of the events that conspired in Miami yesterday as it relates to my life. ( some rambling thoughts )
Current Mood: sadThe food and beer was excellent…definitely money well spent on all that. Everything else makes me want to cry. Touchdown Jesus, you failed me. Perhaps I should believe in a different football deity. Touchdown Ganesha? Touchdown Budda? I never should have believed in a deity that resides in Notre Dame. I hate Notre [...]
Dear Football Loving Touchdown Jesus. We thank you O’ Lord for blessing this season with a superbowl appearance for the mighty monsters of the midway. We humble ourselves before you by not consuming grain alcohol before noon on this O’ holy day. And we remove our orange “C” encrusted caps during your divinely inspired national [...]
Current Mood: excitedProof that Jesus loves football, and that is why the superbowl is played on Sunday. http://www.bencatlin.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1390 Prediction: Bears 67 Colts 13 Brian Urlacher is MVP, with a close second for MVP going to Thomas Jones.
http://spectrum.ieee.org/jan07/4807 Great article. Great point. I wish sabbaticals were a required thing every three years or something. That would be sweet. I think it is cool that some people go take time to think. Like John Piper takes each summer off to write. What a great idea. I should take more time to push ideas [...]
http://www.oculture.com/weblog/2007/01/foreign_languag.html Interesting, podcasts to help you learn new languages and keep up with international news in that language. Check it out if you get the chance. Edit: This is a portal for a ton of learning online podcasts. http://www.oculture.com/weblog/2006/10/the_podcast_por_1.html Apparently there is one on the Byzantine Empire that is very popular on there.
