Tilted Halos

Sunday, May 30th, 2004

Well, I picked up reading The Ragamuffin Gospel again. I stalled out on it in early spring, but looks like I’ll be able to get into it over the summer.

In this recent section of the book, Manning has been focusing on trust, and “spiritual poverty” (blessed are the poor in spirit). I thought […]

Monday, May 17th, 2004

If you have been experiencing strange things on your PC lately (especially related to the internet), you probably have some spyware on it.

Check out my mini-article on how to get rid of and protect against spyware on mattheerema.com my Web development site.

Dan Jones is our first brave “beta tester” of the not our home blogging community.

Welcome back Dan!

Also welcome to The Other Dan (or, A Different Dan) Dan Benson. Who has been commenting on our humble blogs here, and now has one of his own.

sigh i love community. Even if it is online.

I’ve been waiting so long…

Friday, May 14th, 2004

I realize that I must be very careful when blogging about other people, especially when those people are ones that I have a second degree professional relationship with. But I think highest praise is always an acceptable form of blogging.

I have a new found respect for Boone High School more specifically their music program. […]

My deepest gratitude…

Shout out to everyone who helped Nancy and I move yesterday. Your help was invaluable. Not only did the moving go INCREDIBLY QUICKLY (1.5 hours all told), but it was a lot of fun (lots o people means lots o fun). For the record, we had nearly 20 people there, with three […]

All my bags are packed and…

We’re ready to go! (across town)

Moving party tomorrow night at the Heerema’s! Starting at 6p at the Florida St. House.

Bring trucks and strong people! (strong being anyone able to lift anything).

We have one pickup and a 16″ flatbed trailer lined up, but we could always use more!

Rootbeer floats all around at our […]

Twist…

Saturday, May 8th, 2004

I noticed an interesting reversal of “the way of things” just today… russ was talking about looking forward to getting out of the dorms and going back to his parents house because the internet would be faster… now i realize that this isn’t the situation in most cases, however, is it a sign of […]

Just in case…

Just in case you had any doubts of who should be our next president, read this.

This was not a photo op. This was the real deal.

I realize that Pat blogged this, but in the insanely rare instance that you read my blog and not his, I wanted to make sure […]

Internet Explorer is horrible

Thursday, May 6th, 2004

Tim suggested I blog about this (even though I probably have elsewhere). I really don’t want to bore you with all the specific details of why, because they are mostly technical. But IE causes me numerous headaches a day. Mostly I want to alert you to the benefits of using another browser. […]

Tim Borseth’s new Web site

There are a few minor loose ends to tie up (one of them is showing him how to work it), but it’s good to go!

New Computer

Wednesday, May 5th, 2004

I’m getting a new computer. That’s right. I’m switching to a Mac. I’m kinda excited.

Did I tell you my old one crashed… literally… and broke? Oops. Guess not. That was part of the reason my blogging was pretty inconsistent a few weeks ago.
