A Narcissistic Rendering
Friday, March 30th, 2007Consider the following translations of the same verse, Psalm 92:4: NLT – You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done. ESV – For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for [...]
Of A Randomness
Friday, March 30th, 2007I just downloaded this game for the TrÄ“o and it is pretty neat! The game overlays a shoot ‘em up over a live image from your TrÄ“o’s camera. You have to move to aim. It tracks the real world pretty well but it works best if there is a lot of randomness in the image. [...]
Making the Best Better
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I downloaded and installed Quicksilver last night on my PowerBook. Oh. My. Word. I pointed Benjamin to it and he said that he now lacks a head because Quicksilver blew it off. :) I’ve heard people ranting but never paid much attention till I saw a write up on Lifehacker. I’m addicted after about 5 [...]
Sticky Ideas
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007I heard about this book on NPR a few weeks ago and kept waiting for it to show up at my local Borders. I got a gift card for Borders and this seemed like the thing to spend it on. The authors discuss ideas that survive and ideas that don’t. They use as an example [...]
A Flower’s Reason
Sunday, March 18th, 2007The picture and the quote above come from the Mitchell Park Conservatory in Milwaukee. Ben, Gillian and I went there on a field trip. Gillian got the picture of the flower in the dome that had the rain forest environment. After we visited in all the domes for a while the Conservatory had a class [...]
Let Your Adornment…
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. – Luke 16:18 If you do a study of divorce in the New Testament, but especially in the Gospels, you’ll soon notice that what Jesus said about it is not consistently reported. In [...]
Repaired
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007See the photo? Sad isn’t it. The hinge on my Powerbook jammed and when my daughter tried to close it, it snapped. My options? Well, I checked with the company that repaired it when I dropped it and broke the hinge last time. Turns out it was three weeks out of warranty. They said they [...]
Trēo on the Internet
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007I got a TrÄ“o 650. It isn’t WiFi capable. I get to pay Verizon $40 a month for that privilege. No. Thank. You. I’ve already whined about this. But! I did find a way to share my Mac’s internet connection with my TrÄ“o via Bluetooth. Which is pretty cool. I’m copying comments posted at MacDevCenter.com [...]
