If your life is stressful, please don’t read this post. I’d rather not run the risk of you getting high blood pressure vicariously. Friday my wife and I jumped in the car and headed up I-476 through Wilkes-Barre into a small town just south of the NewYork border. The gasoline was cheap and there was... Read More

Congratulations, Taylor! (with a wedgie qualification)
Here’s to you, man. You wanted it and you loved what you were doing and we could tell. Finally an American Idol who is more American than Idol. Yeah, you really can’t hit those low notes; but as long as you start writing meaningful songs, we’ll forgive you. (Psss… if you shout ‘Soul Patrol’ one... Read More

Cat of Election Revolves Pure Darkness
Well, they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But I’m not flattered. I’m falling off my chair laughing. Ok, first, visit https://plasticmind.com. Go ahead I’ll wait. Now, check out http://www.javad.ir. It’s one thing when someone steals your design and makes subtle changes–that’s annoying. It’s another thing when someone steals your design and claims... Read More

My father has just finished putting together a 7 page paper entitled How To Be Free From Pornography. In an age where the church avoids saying the word “sex” (e.g. Potiphar’s wife wanted to have ‘physical intimacy’ with Joseph), here’s a welcome discussion of this hush-hush homewrecker. You can either read the entire article at... Read More

A Few (More) of MY Unfavorite Things
In the spirit of beating dead horses (making things better), I’ve continued my wish list for MT changes: Real Power-editing: Marie from disarranging.com mentioned in the previous article that the power editing mode should allow for assigning multiple categories. I personally think the power editing mode could use even more oomph than that. How about... Read More

After my little rant the other day about the differences between MovableType and WordPress, I got thinking about more about their interfaces. In my argument I begged the question that MT’s interface is much slicker, but I’m sure some people feel otherwise. After the recent release of Shuttle, a redesign *yawn* of WordPress’ administration panel,... Read More

I have a great deal of respect for Mike Rundle, one of the founders of 9rules design network; so when I found out he was waxing eloquent about Movable Type and WordPress, I was interested. After reading his level-headed discussion at BusinessLogs, I thought I’d share some of my own opinions about the contrasts between... Read More

We looked at our calendar and realized that this weekend was our only free weekend until July, so we jumped in the car and drove up to Jim Thorpe, PA (the town formerly known as Mauch Chunk). Once famous for railroads and coal mining, now Jim Thorpe boasts itself as “Gateway to the Poconos” and... Read More

It’s been a long day and I’ve been wrestling with some fairly monumental questions. Of course, they feel big–the universe to me–but they’re most likely just the same old questions everyone faces. It’s like seeing the Rockies. If you live there, you don’t always consider their magnitude; when you round the knoll and see them... Read More

So says Jason Johnson, the 20-year-old who was recently kicked out of The University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky for declaring on his MySpace account that he was gay. The school policy stated that “any student who engages in or promotes sexual behavior not consistent with Christian principles (including sex outside marriage and homosexuality)... Read More

I met a woman today. Our church helped the local YMCA celebrate Healthy Kids Day, so I was greeting parents and children with some others from my church in the lobby of the local YMCA. We’re 10 minutes from Philadelphia, so it’s an extremely diverse group of people we’re working with here. One woman in... Read More

Can’t tell if it’s the sound of my new blog design making a dull thud with my readers or my fatigue-drenched body hitting the floor. It’s after 3am and I’m still working on little things, like fleshing out the individual pages as well as my profile page and my “elsewhere” page. But I digress. In... Read More

Well, tomorrow is my birthday, so there are quite a few very special things happening: If you stay up late/early, be sure to dance a jig just after one a.m., when it hits 1:02:03 04-05-06. That should be pretty cool. (Thanks Joy) I celebrate my 29th birthday tomorrow. (Please send your love in Guitar Center... Read More
