This is officially the strangest dream I’ve ever had. Bear this in mind as you read: I’m driving through a small dingy town with my ex-girlfriend, doing 45 in a 45, when a cop pulls us over. I rummage through the glove compartment only to discover we have no registration or insurance information. So we... Read More

I have yet again accidentally closed out a window containing my blog and I’m extremely agitated. I worked hours putting together this article about democracy in Libya and Lebanon, but it seems as though it has vanished into the darkness of empty digits. No recycle bin to click on. No undo. Just a closed Firefox... Read More

I went with Jessica to the theatre and bought tickets for a movie–can’t remember which one; but I looked down at them and specifically noticed that the tickets were unripped. We made our way to a lobby that looked more like a furniture store with a fifty foot ceiling. Couches sat at all angles. We... Read More

So I’ve been MIA for a few days (weekend to be precise) with a schedule full of things to do… this time most of them extracurricular: I’ve been working hard to get Movable Type up and running on our new Northern Dutchess Christian School website. This will allow our administration to post up-to-date news and... Read More

Little did I know when I wrote about CBS’s many issues last February just how hard they were going to crash. It seems now that Howard, Murphy and West, the three members of the infamous Bush National Guard story that garnered so much criticism and network backlash, have been asked to resign by Les Moonves,...

I’ve noticed that much of my web traffic has come from Google and MSN bots crawling my site – they count for almost fifty percent of my traffic! So I found this interesting script that you can include on your site that will email you a notification everytime a googlebot crawls your site:

Well, it’s that time again–to celebrate love and closeness and the joys of a soulmate. I thought I’d do something a little bit different, a little out of the ordinary. Candy and roses are nice, but seemed so cliche that I wanted to put together a present that wouldnt wilt or make the girl fat.... Read More

This afternoon about 15 minutes from our church in Rhinebeck, NY, a man armed with a machine gun and mindlessness strolled into Best Buy at the Hudson Valley Mall and began shooting indiscriminately into the crow. Early reports say that noone was killed-God be praised. Several people in our church had been at the mall... Read More

It seems as though my plug-in upgrade to MT 3.15 has not gone as smoothly as I would have liked. Its seems now that anytime I send out notifications of a new blog posting, I get a strange message: “Can’t use string (“ARRAY(0x898e4cc)”) as an ARRAY ref while “strict refs” in use at lib/MT/Mail.pm line...

I came across this article by Doug Jones and found it very thought provoking. I’m not sure how I feel about all of it, but he certainly got me thinking quite alot about how little we ‘expect’ of God when we sit quietly in our church pews and yawn through another verse of ‘Yeild Not... Read More

Yes, yes, I know, I know. I’m up way too late again. Nothing like putting all your money on a snow day. Ah well, the fruits of labor are sweet. I’ve been working on Northern Dutchess Christian School’s new website. So here’s the progression: The new site I started tonight – I like it. Mucho... Read More

MAPS.google.com (yes, you read it right)
Oh yes. They’ve done it and they’ve done it good. The information giant puts forward it contender in the map market and as always, Google does not disappoint. Unlike the static click-and-wait interface of Mapquest or Yahoo, GoogleMaps incorporates javascript to make finding your way painless. Dragable sliders, double-click centering all with realtime updates sets... Read More

Our English class begins our study of Dandelion Wine this week, and as we do, I am reminded of just how vivid a stroke Bradbury can muster. His way with words is exquisite, and unlike Steinbeck and Hemmingway, Bradbury delights in the details, saturating each word with brilliant imagery to create a sort of literary... Read More

by Pete Grieg So this guy comes up to me and says, “What’s the vision? What’s the big idea?” I open up my mouth and the words come out like this… The vision? The vision is Jesus: obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus. The vision is of an army of young people. You see bones? I see... Read More

Someone emailed this to me, so I thought I’d pass along the encouragement: The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a... Read More
Hello, I’m Jesse.
