Bags of Water DOKeep The Flies Out

As it turns out, those ziplock bags of water DO keep the flies out. At least, accord­ing to Straight Dope they do. Who knew? Not me, that’s for sure.

Postmodernism and Church History

So, for a while now, I’ve been promis­ing a post about post­mod­ernism and past, namely address­ing some con­cerns I’ve been hear­ing (mostly from my buddy Ken) about how po-mo folks just want to throw the past out and dis­re­gard church history. Let me start w/ my the­sis: bull. There, I said it. It’s just not [...]

My Morning Jacket on Letterman

Check it: a youtube of My Morn­ing Jacket on Let­ter­man w/ the Boston Pops. It’s a pretty good show…kind of weird, but not unlistenable. I didn’t know they looked so Jack Black, though. Funny. All in all, it makes me want to down­load another MMJ show. I think I’ll down­load the next one that comes [...]

On Paul And Multiculturalism

Here’s a great (albeit long) arti­cle on Paul’s view of multiculturalism. The lady who wrote it is Jew­ish (not a Chris­t­ian) AND a woman, so she’s got a rather unique posi­tion to cri­tique things. I think, though, she’s got some good insight. What she says seems to make sense. I’d like to give you a [...]

Global Warming

I used to be dia­met­ri­cally opposed to envi­ron­men­tal­ism. That was when I lived in the mid­dle of the coun­try, and couldn’t imag­ine more than 10,000 peo­ple liv­ing in one place at a time. Now, liv­ing in a town of even 50,000, hav­ing been out to the dump more times than the aver­age per­son, I know I [...]

Hack Into A Bank The Easy Way

Check this arti­cle out. A secu­rity audit hacked into a bank just by leav­ing usb flash dri­ves (w/ a tro­jan on it) lay­ing around. Bril­liant. And scary.

Great Cartoons

Ok. Every so often, I go to studylight.org instead of bible­gate­way b/c they have a lot more/better com­men­taries, and more/different ver­sions. On the home page, there’s always a link to a car­toon. Here’s the one for today. They’re almost always that stu­pid. In fact, they’re so bad that they’re really pretty dang funny. I mean, [...]

Addr.com Strikes Again

Once again, I’ve bit­ten bit in the butt by the col­losal fail­ure of a buis­ness that is addr.com. Back in the day, they were the web host for christoncampus.org. My favorite part of that expe­ri­ence was when they stuck spam fil­ter­ing on my account with­out telling me, and then con­fig­ured it so poorly that any­thing [...]

Awesome Tiny PC

Check this out: a pc small enough to fit into a wall socket box. That’s just crazy. Tiny hard drive (it’s flash mem­ory), of course, but if you had it con­nected (wire­lessly, although the descrip­tion implies that it has an eth­er­net port some­where which (this is cool) can be used to power it, too) to [...]

More on Creating Icons

As it turns out, the GIMP can edit/create icon files. You save the dif­fer­ent options all as dif­fer­ent lay­ers. Then when you go to save it, there’s a plu­gin that stiches it all together right for you. Ugh. Now, if I could just learn to draw w/ the pencil.
