Opera 10-year online anniversary party Opera was a competitor with Internet Explorer for alternate users. Many of their features have been incorporated into Firefox and Safari. Many say that it is a speedier browser then both Firefox and Internet Explorer. So, the normally $39 program is being given away as a part of Opera’s 10 [...]

I am a ““Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” (David Allen)” hacker. GTD is a complete system for managing productivity. As a hacker, I have implemented little pieces of it one at a time, rather then try to implement the whole system all at once. I first discovered the book through the website [...]

Strangely, my trackpad is working fine again. I was afraid this might happen. You know how when you get sick, and then you finally get to the doctor, you’re afraid that your symptoms will disappear? Or when you need to take the car to the mechanic and suddenly it’s not doing that thing that it [...]

I have been reading “Responsible Grace,” about the theology of John Wesley. It was recommended to me by pastor, church consultant and friend, Doug Murren. In it the author brought up an interesting distinction between two models of looking at salvation. Traditionally the western church emphasizes the judicial model of salvation in that we are [...]

I’m working on a site redesign at the moment, so things will probably look different from time to time. Don’t worry… my server isn’t freaking out. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g i-s u-n-d-e-r c-o-n-t-r-o-l
