Hi Res

Saturday, December 27th, 2003

I never make New Years Resolutions. I think they are ridiculous. I never keep the ones I make.

So here are some I’ve made for this year that I fully intend to keep.

Start (and stay with) the Body For Life program (paul, and I are trying this together ?? Maintain a solid, smooth budget move mattheerema.com into […]

Elendil’s Heir

Wednesday, December 24th, 2003

If you haven’t read the books several times, there are several huge parts of Return of the King that you will miss.

First of all: going in to the movie I knew there were two scenes, that if left out, would ruin the movie for me. One was a very small flashback (in the books) […]

Elessar

By far, the character I relate to the most in The Lord of the Rings is Aragorn. Both in the books and in the movies.

He was simultaneously my favorite character in the movies, and my biggest beef with the movies. Viggo Mortensen’s Aragorn was far different from Aragorn of the books. In […]

Hobby sites

Friday, December 19th, 2003

Coming soon Lonestrangers.com a clearninghouse for lone stranger information, and a blogging community (we’ll see which one lasts the longest).

Also mattheerema.com my external brain. This will probably be largely uninteresting to a lot of you. I’m going to use it as a repository for my knowledge of Web design and all its intricacies. […]

The Return

Friday, December 19th, 2003

I GET TO SEE Return of the King tonight! I’m SOOOOO Pumped. I will tell you all about it (what I liked and what I didn’t) when i get back.

Google me baby!

Wednesday, December 17th, 2003

This is probably only exciting to me. But it speaks to a recent hobby/undertaking of mine and its success.

two months ago, www.mattandnancy.org sat in google obscure-dom (under a search for heerema). In the last two months, I have made site modifications and other optimizations to improve that ranking, and I have had it […]

You’ve got to be kidding.

Wednesday, December 17th, 2003

This has to be opened with internet explorer on a computer that uses media player (at least i’m pretty sure it does). But if you are a video gamer (especially if you are a fan of mario brothers) you have to watch this.

It’s “amazing and apalling” (quote by angie mowrer).

It takes 11 minutes to […]

Jason’s mom is right… but IT’S A BIG PART OF IT!!!

That’s it.

Great Movie

Friday, December 12th, 2003

Yes, it surprises me too, but Pirates of the Caribbean was a great movie. Highly recommended. Clean, funny, fun, with a slight moral (greed doesn’t satisfy!). If you are looking for a good party movie, date movie, or just a good laugh, pick this one up.

I am currently working on a followup […]

Over spiritualization.

Thursday, December 11th, 2003

I was having an interesting conversation with Tim yesterday about the possibility that we overspiritualize things.

Meaning, we ascribe some events to God’s direct intervention that weren’t, in fact, him intervening… example:

Tim’s dog (Duke) was very very ill, (urinating blood, among other things). It would have cost them $170 to take him to the vet […]

Leftover wannabe’s

Tuesday, December 9th, 2003

There is a ploethera of really good (read: silly) news this morning. So I thought I’d pass it along, in the fashion of Pat’s Leftovers (if only i could be that cool. Hopefully I’m not stealing any of Pat’s material. We tend to draw from different sources)

Fuller Theological Seminary is spending $1mil. […]
