  • unfit for online publishing?


    not sure if I'm crossing the line here, but how long should you expect your underwear to last?

    I've got a few pairs of boxer-brief hybrids that I bought at the beginning of seminary that are still going strong, except for the fact that they are beginning to come apart at the seams.

    time to replace?

    btw: hanes comfort fit are the best.

  • elaborating from 35,000 feet


    so Felise and I are on our way back from celebrating my father's 70th birthday in LA, and we were fortunate enough to be flying Virgin America, where Google is providing free wifi in flight until Jan 15 or so. This is on top of the outlets in every row, personal media entertainment centers for each seat, etc that VA provides.

    So far, the wifi has been alright: it kind of goes in and out, and hulu is pretty much out of the question. Also, my outlet stopped working about an hour in. Good thing there I was in the middle and in reach of a 2nd outlet.

    In any case, to elaborate on my previous post: I was observing in myself an "excitement" when checking to see which elections my candidates won or lost in last week's elections similar to the feeling I get when checking to see what kind of feedback I get on facebook (whether it's posting an album or leaving someone a comment), and was wondering if anybody else ever feels this.

    I'm thinking that voting and putting things online is an expression of ourselves, so we as human beings like to get positive feedback as regards those things.

  • election results = online comments on your profile page?

    (taken at our Labor Day retreat)

    So I was taking a look at the Washington state election results, and I discovered in myself a strange feeling: I can't describe it exactly, but it was pretty close to the way I feel when I see feedback on something I've put online.

    anybody else feeling this?

    Also: discovered yesterday that too much Vitamin D can be bad for you, not to mention the fact that it stays in your system for 20 to 29 days.

    I better slow down on those.

  • Believer, Atheist, and Back Again

    Interesting article from the Wall Street Journal about the author of "God's Funeral" becoming a Christian...

    "Just such a conversion has happened to A.N. Wilson, the 58-year-old British biographer, novelist and man of letters. He was once an observant Anglican and, later, a Roman Catholic, but in the 1980s he lost his faith and began skewering the supposed delusions of the faithful. His antifaith stance was expressed in books such as "God's Funeral" (1999) and "Jesus: A Life" (1992). A few weeks ago, however, Mr. Wilson confessed that Christ had risen indeed."
