Rockboy

July 28, 2006 | Leave a comment
Ok, this is beyond cool. There’s an open source firmware replace­ment for my new mp3 called Rock­box. It sup­ports a lot of things the native firmware won’t sup­port, includ­ing (and these are the big­gys) gap­less play­back, FLAC sup­port, and on-the-fly playlist creation. It also sup­port plu­g­ins. One of the plu­g­ins (this is the really cool [...]

Top 10 Ways to Destroy Earth

July 27, 2006 | Leave a comment
This is awe­some: a Top List of ways to destroy the earth. From the intro­duc­tion: “This is not a guide for those whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity.…If total human geno­cide is your ulti­mate goal, you are read­ing the wrong doc­u­ment. There are far more effi­cient ways of doing this, many which are [...]

Burrrn — Freeware Rules

July 27, 2006 | Leave a comment
I know how it hap­pened. You bought a new com­puter. You loved it. You loved every­thing about it. Ok, maybe not every­thing. You could do with­out all the ridicu­lous stuff that came installed with that com­puter. Dell Juke­box? Acer Arcade? Nor­ton Antivirus Trial Edition? You don’t need that stuff. And by need, I mean “want.” So [...]

Suffering

July 25, 2006 | Leave a comment
I’ve been think­ing about suf­fer­ing some recently, espe­cially in light of two things: 1. We’ve been going through Thes­sa­lo­ni­ans (both of them) on Tues­day nights. A cou­ple weeks ago, Jeff talked about how suf­fer­ing is an inte­gral part of the Chris­t­ian expe­ri­ence, that, for the most part, we’ve san­i­tized. That’s pretty chal­leng­ing to me, mostly [...]

Funny Cartoons about Linguists

July 21, 2006 | Leave a comment
The Lan­guage Log strikes again. This time it’s some funny cartoons. STRONG lan­guage warn­ing, though (part of the irony/humor as far as I’m con­cerned is that the LL has been talk­ing a lot about pro­fan­ity recently, and they’re not afraid to print the words they’re talk­ing about. Shoot, the fact that peo­ple shouldn’t be is [...]

Hook Up A Tin Can to Your Computer

July 20, 2006 | Leave a comment
Mike and I were talk­ing today about get­ting bet­ter wi-fi cov­er­age in the sanc­tu­ary, so I started look­ing for ways to improve our cov­er­age. This site rec­om­mends using a tin can as an antenna. The prob­lem for us is that it’s a recep­tion antenna. I sup­pose it might work, though.

I’m Not Suprised You’re Let Down

July 19, 2006 | Leave a comment
The more I read Colos­sians Three Six­teen, the more I like it. The tag line of the blog is “the col­li­sion of the­ol­ogy, cul­ture and music,” which might make you think it’s your typ­i­cal liberal/emergent/po-mo blog (ie. this one). But it’s not. It’s con­sid­er­ably more con­ser­v­a­tive. But not wack-o so. It’s the kind of blog [...]

Catholics, Unitarians, etc

July 19, 2006 | Leave a comment
I guess a day or two ago, Steven Col­bert recited the entire Nicean Creed on his show. If you’re on broad­band, you should go, read the blog post that linked to the video (it’s got some good info on Colbert’s reli­gious views), and watch the video. It seems like the kind pointed, yet ridicu­lous talk about reli­gion [...]

Barak Obama and Christianity

July 17, 2006 | Leave a comment
I caught just a lit­tle bit of Barak Obama on NPR the other day, talk­ing about how Democ­rats need to reach out to Chris­t­ian voters. Now, I’m all about that idea–seems to me Chris­tians have let the Reli­gious Right tell them how to vote for a long time, now, and it’d be great to get [...]
