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 [...]

Margin: A Day Without Internet – A Poem

LifeChurch.tv is doing a series on having Margin in our lives — I wrote a poem last fall when I didn’t have internet, and I think it fits in perfectly.

A Day Without Internet
A day without internet feels FREE.
No email to worry about, all wires unplugged.
Disconnecting is easy, and I can be fully here.
Although it won’t [...]

To a future Mac: Why I succumbed to the PC

Lately I’ve been forced to rely on my laptop a lot. A/V glitches during presentations, videos freezing and sluggishness led me on a hunt for a new laptop. Yesterday I went out to get a Mac. But I succumbed to a PC. Here’s why.

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 [...]

MW2: First Thoughts

It rocks. Single-player as usual feels like being in a movie. No lag troubles in Multi-player yet. Everything has been amazing so far.
The line ups at stores still baffle me – apparently the line up at my local Game Stop was 250 people long at midnight and took till 2:30am to clear. There was [...]

Lord, is this really happening?…

(This post was started 4 weeks prior to today)

…that was my prayer as the list of churches involved with one prayer this year rolled across the screen. 2000 churches… WOW!

This summer, I am interning with C4C again on a project called “WaterLoo Project”, “LooP” for short. Below’s a cool [...]

Weekend Adventure: iGoogle Homepages

Here’s something fun to try this weekend/whenever you’re bored – browser homepages from google. Granted, they’ve been out for a while, but in case you’re a late adopter like me, they’re quite fun!

The major benefit of using iGoogle as your homepage is widgets – there’s a growing library of widgets you can add to your [...]

Blog Trouble: Blogging Time Robbed

I’m having some trouble with the blog, I think it’s being caused by the Intense Debate commenting plugin. This has robbed me of my blogging time – I wanted to post something tonight, but unfortunately my timer’s in the negative, so “I’ll be back” -_- (my try at an Arnold smilie).
