Yes, I Know It’s My Generation; That Doesn’t Mean I’m OK With This

I’m not sure how to feel about this:

I mean, on the one hand, you can’t fault them for looking to reach out and embrace the explosive popularity of the Wii and the theory that it will help people in their homes to evangelize when people as “Who’s that guy?”, but on the other hand, there’s [...]

We *did* actually make it back to town in time for church this evening. What a relief. What a nice service.

It’s a Matter of Context. You Think Differently.

On this Good Friday, I find myself away from home for a bit while I (unfortunately) have the world interfere with my preparations for Easter by having to get some work done on my car in my hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I find it unfortunate that I don’t know whether I will be able to [...]

Nice to see your computers are using up-to-date Web browsers!

I had written and meant to post something this evening, but I have since thought better of it. Maybe another time.

Turning in after staying up way too late and reading what a bunch of people have been talking about all day long.

Silence Is Fatal

At first, I had thought it was merely an Internet rumor, and hoped it had not been true, but it appears that “Issues, Etc.”, one of the most constant and reliable sources of information and discussion for confessional Lutheranism, has been removed from the air, and its staff terminated with no notice and no apparent [...]

Where should I place Google ads on my pages?

I find the disc slot on this Aluminum iMac to be a lot harder to "find" than the one on the old white Intel iMac. *shrug*

Wow. "Smooth scrolling" actually *is* in Firefox Beta 4. Like, so much so that I started scrolling through a bunch of stuff to see it again.

Sleepy. Not enough hours in the day; not enough at all. We’re watching through Firefly again because it’s awesome. Am I a Browncoat now?

“We do no market research . . . “

“We do no market research. We don’t hire consultants. The only consultants I’ve ever hired in my 10 years is one firm to analyze Gateway’s retail strategy so I would not make some of the same mistakes they made [when launching Apple's retail stores]. But we never hire consultants, per se. We just want to [...]

Well, I Know I Conversed with People About the Book.

For the last week or so, I’ve been deep into reading The Cluetrain Manifesto, and I will admit specifically to being late to the party on this one, as much of it was published back in 1999 on the Web. I’ve found it to be one of the most interesting collections of essays I’ve read [...]

Twittering less now that Twitter has been Websense’d for a good portion of my day.

Voices, and the Successes that Should be Awarded Them.

First, allow me to open by congratulating Concordia Theological Seminary on its (relatively) recent decision to open up a blog and encourage the admissions officers—and others in the institution—to make regular posts and find things to talk about, disseminate news, and otherwise promote the life out of CTS Fort Wayne, a place that I very [...]
