Because We Can
Saturday, June 28th, 2003From Apple’s website. When discussing the new fast user switching in the next version of Mac OS X, they say: Because we canMac OS X animates transitions from one user to another. The current desktop becomes a texture placed on a 3D cube that rotates out of view while the incoming account desktop rotates into [...]
Field Ed.
Saturday, June 28th, 2003BTW, as part of my field ed this summer I’m working on an annotated bibliography having to do with church planting. If you have read any church planting books that you found especially helpful, please drop me a comments so I can check them out. Once I’m done with the bibliography, I might publish it [...]
Old Testament Baptism
Saturday, June 28th, 2003In the most recent issue of Reformation Today is an article on the Old Testament roots of baptism. It is brief but very interesting. I have long held that baptism’s Old Covenant antecedant is not circumcision but I never really had anything to pin it to. Richard Gibson claims that baptism comes from the mikvah [...]
Homosexual Celebration
Saturday, June 28th, 2003On the cover of just about every major paper here in Chicago were pictures of homosexuals celebrating the Supreme Court’s defeat of a Texas anti-sodomy law. You’ve probably seen similar pictures in your local papers. Have you noticed that they all seem to be men weeping and hugging? I haven’t seen one of two guys [...]

Promotion

How To Interview
Wednesday, June 11th, 2003I must remember this next time I have a job interview. Which, by the way, is Thursday at 10:30. Its a good tip. BTW, I did have an interview last year where the interviewer called me into his office and chit-chatted with me for a minute. Then he pulled out a folder with my name [...]
The Four Seasons
Tuesday, June 10th, 2003I finally picked up Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” by Il Giardino Armonico. These guys breath new life into the piece. Really. I think this is the third recording of “The Four Seasons” that I own and it is by far my favorite. The samples on Amazon don’t do it justice; they don’t hit the best [...]

It is the 2nd in a trilogy after all. Phil Roy: Check out Undeniably Human. I like it. School: On summer break, no classes, just a Field Ed. Shew. Work: [...]
