I’ve been part of a campaign at University called iCraveChange. As part of the campaign, I had the exciting opportunity of getting my story filmed.

Beta Testing the Standard Theme
When developing websites, the hardest and most frustrating part for me is finding a theme that works. I can almost never find a theme that works out of the box.
This week I’ll begin beta testing the standard theme.
I’m excited, and cannot wait – this is truly a privilege for me. Part of the reasons I’m [...]
Video Game Addiction: Amazing Must-Watch Video
Video games are a blessing and a curse. I know a gamer who lost his marriage over Counter-Strike. I also know a gamer who is still alive today because of her video gaming community. This video summarizes the two remarkably well — props to the author!

My Story: Video

WinterCon: The Great Prayer Hypocrisy #ewc09
Prayer – talking with God – is huge, but in my life I’ve noticed that we can talk about the importance of prayer, but not apply it in our lives.
I’m definitely inspired in this category by my Muslim friends who make it a practice to pray 5 times a day. Being a Christian, we’re not [...]

3 Reasons to Do Things Last Minute

1. Stress: If you’ve left things last minute, you’re guaranteed stress. Being under stress is like being inside an oven compared to a slow cooker. If you’re studying, stress bakes the knowledge in. If you’re [...]
Papercraft Models… from a gaming company
In case you’re wondering what a “Papercraft Model” is, so was I – I didn’t know they existed till I was pleasantly surprised by a video game newsletter.
“Papercraft Model”s are models you make out of paper instead of clay or lego. Guild Wars is giving away four build-your-own “Papercraft Model”s this Christmas for our “assembling [...]
