Tuesday, March 30th, 2004I spent the weekend doing an e-mail tango with support at Palm. The last e-mail I got from them was that I wouldn’t have to pay the $35 to get the replacement CD but I would have to buy the CD. Well, the first thing out of the guy’s mouth on the phone was $35 [...]
Palm: The (T/D)rama
Monday, March 29th, 2004I bought my Palm Tungsten T second hand from eBay last year. I know the risks of buying second-hand but I was willing to take them. I got the Tungsten for a good price and the only thing missing was the CDs that come with it. No problem, I downloaded Palm Desktop 4.1 and was [...]
The Ladykillers Review
Sunday, March 28th, 2004I went to see The Ladykillers last night. Don’t bother, it wasn’t that good. If you must see it, wait till it comes out on video. That isn’t to say that it didn’t have some good points. Tom Hanks’ performance was great. He was charming to the end. But that was about it. The story [...]
Jesus & Moses
Thursday, March 25th, 2004The first six verses of Hebrews 3 really caught my attention this morning. The comparison is between Moses and Jesus. It goes like this: Moses – faithful (v 2) Jesus – faithful (v 2) Moses – Servant in house (v5) Jesus – Son over house (v 6) Moses – part of the house (v 3) [...]
He Ain’t Representin’!
Thursday, March 25th, 2004You know about that court case before the Supreme Court about the Pledge of Allegiance? I actually agree that “under God” should not be in there because of atheists. The guy is arguing the case on behalf of his daughter, he doesn’t think that she should be made to say that in school. He doesn’t [...]
Modernist Passions
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2004Remember that other controversial film about Jesus, the Last Temptation of Christ? Well, the screenwriter of that one, Paul Schrader, has some very interesting comments about The Passion. For example: My guess is that Mel has a problem with the Enlightenment because his film really does go back to the visceral blood cult origins of [...]
Apostolic Succession Via Faithful Men
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2004Rome’s doctrine of the infallibility of the pope stems not from the man who occupies the office, but the office itself. God so superintends that teaching office so that regardless of the man, he cannot pronounce error in matters of doctrine and morales (when speaking ex cathedra, and the other numerous qualifications.) Yet, Paul told [...]
Good Theology
Wednesday, March 17th, 2004I’ve been listening to John Piper on the Internet lately. Man, that is some excellent preaching. Fortunatley his MP3s are free downloads so I’m filling up my iPod. :) His theme music is Be Thou My Vision, my favorite hymn. It is my cellphone ringtone. John is raising money to get his show on the [...]
Know Snow
Wednesday, March 17th, 2004It is snowing. This is the second day in a row that it snowed. It is supposed to snow again. What is up with that?
Polling Data Are Useless
Tuesday, March 16th, 2004Fascinating program on This American Life on political polling. Sounds like pretty much what I thought: fraught with errors and mostly useless information.
