iPhone Camera
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I've seen a few people online whining about the 2 megapixel camera on the iPhone. I'm not sure how big the sensor is (I only looked at the specs page) but there is actually a maximum number of pixels you want for a digital camera sensor. Learn more at 6mpixel.org
On Grace and Justice
Saturday, May 31st, 2008I think there is a popular thought that goes something like: "Yes, God is just. However, He is only just because He offers us Grace." We need to be aware that God is just and He would be just even if He were not gracious. I thank God that He is ...

Some Free Advice
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Hulu.com is a pretty good effort by NBC and FOX to provide their media to net denizens for free. If you are an advertizer on hulu, freaking use your 3 or so ad slots to show a progressive commercial instead of showing the same ad three times. DirectTV has the best ads ...
The Radical Reformission
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008reaching out without selling out by Mark Driscoll I had to resist quoting the entire book here. Mark points out a middle way between sectarianism and syncretism. This involves engaging the culture more than extreme fundamentalists are comfortable with, while also sticking to fundamental doctrines more openly than liberals want to.
Embryo
Sunday, March 30th, 2008a Defense of Human Life by Robert P. George and Christopher Tollefsen A non-Theological defense of the position that from fertilization (either natural, In-vitro, or cloned) a human embryo deserves all the protection extended to adult humans. After responding to arguments against this position, the authors call for: 1. legislation to protect human ...

"'If we lose the Virgin Birth, what do we really lose?' Um... the bible, and Jesus... That's kinda a lot!" (Preceding quotations are actually paraphrases from ...
Social Notworking
Thursday, March 13th, 2008I just unsubscribed from a whole-heck-of-a-lot-of social networks. If you are looking for me, I am still on Facebook and linkedin. I'm probably on a few others, but I just canceled MySpace, Friendster, Orkut, and Bebo. MySpace was the most difficult to complete. I actually had to click on a link ...
Credit Chameleon
Monday, March 10th, 2008I got a credit card offer today that was intriguing (not in the "I want it" sense, more in the "awareness of culture" sense). It isn't really a credit card. You shop out of a catalogue (strangely not provided.) You pay 30% down. You get 70% financed for 0% (up to $7,500.) From a quick ...
Blue Like Jazz
Friday, February 22nd, 2008by Donald Miller This is a great book. Once you get used to his style of prose, he starts really dropping some theology on you, but without you really noticing it... until it's too late :D It's edgy without falling off the edge. Jesus is the center.
Sexual Sin
Thursday, February 14th, 2008This is going to make it in my daily link post, but it's worth its own post. There is biblical truth, practical advice, and no pulled punches in this sermon by Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church: Sexual Sin (1 hour and 15 minutes)
Yes, We Can… Heal This Nation…
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008...of infanticide. Oops... not by voting for Obama.
Matthew 7:3-5
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove ...
Freakonomics
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner Interesting book... probably most well-known for pointing out the correlation of Roe v. Wade and the drop in crime in the 1990's. The authors do not applaud the correlation as an intended consequence, but they do point it out.
Dan in Real Life
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007...probably the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. Dethrones Hitch for this title. :D
NBC lies to me, all the time.
Monday, November 5th, 2007I watch the Office on their website, since they won't let me buy season four from iTunes. They have these crappy commercials (way too loud, there are only 2 per episode, but they show them 12 times each) that they show over and over again, and there is a little ...

Gore Shares Nobel Peace Prize
