Just thought I’d warn ya :).
The Matrix
Monday, January 31st, 2005I know the whole Matrix thing is kinda old (though I still love, and wish I could use, illustrations from the first movie). If the movies are old, dressing as Matrix characters for Halloween is even older. BUT, how many of you have gone to a halloween party, dressed as something, only to […]
Nerdiness
Saturday, January 29th, 2005I found this via Noel. Just had to try it.
Judging by the answers, it would have been worse in high school and early college. I have actually gotten less nerdy.
The End.
Saturday, January 29th, 2005I wrote this a while back, in a moment of “righteous” indignation. Found it tonight while working on my next message for the Rock (in two weeks). This has nothing to do with my message, but I just thought I’d share it anyway.
Everything that has a beginning has an end.
Whether you have bought […]
The Web has been exceptionally interesting lately.
Thursday, January 27th, 2005Here is a second load of fun links for all you.
Phew, that was close. Rolling Stone accepts Bible ads. Almost had to call the attorney general and complain that my rights were trampled on. Actually the interesting thing about this is what Zondervan DIDN’T do, and that was raise a huge […]
Etymology of “Gospel”
Thursday, January 27th, 2005gospel
a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, and meaning “God’s spell”, i.e., word of God, or rather, according to others, “good spell”, i.e., good news. It is the rendering of the Greek evangelion, i.e., “good message.”
-Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary
Just thought you should know. I used to contend that gospel and evangelion (euaggelion is a more accurate […]
Thoughtfulness
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and watered their flock. When they came home to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that […]
Links Links Links
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005Man there’s a lot of stuff that has caught my eye today. I’ll just post links here a la Dan Benson, and Pat Blair
Matt Groening on why you need a Mac circa 1989.
Bye bye IE. Though it will be a few years before we see it go the way of Netscape 4.x, IE […]
The latest blog on the block
Tuesday, January 25th, 2005Usurping Ben Wyatt for the newest blog on notourhome.com
Autumn Hare
Her first entry is high quality, can she keep up the pace?
Confession
Saturday, January 22nd, 2005Lord,
I have forgotten the words you have spoken to me. I doubt you and follow a path that seems right to me, but when viewed from your perspective, leads straight to death.
In my weakness, I fall into worshiping things of man at the alter of selfishness and materialism. I do things and go places that take my […]
New toy.
Thursday, January 20th, 2005Did I say toy? I meant tool. The Fender Strat Standard. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday.
(btw, I doctored the photo to be the sage green metallic color that I ordered. It’s a pretty good coloring job if you ask me ;) compare it to the original…)
Leadership
Thursday, January 20th, 2005“Christian leaders cannot simply be persons who have well-informed opinions about the burning issues of our time. Their leadership must be rooted in the permanent, intimate relationship with the incarnate Word, Jesus, and they need to find there the source for their words, advice, and guidance….Dealing with burning issues easily leads to divisiveness because, […]
Earle and Drencher
Sunday, January 16th, 2005Man, do I miss the masters of blog ranking. So, as if anyone cared, I’m going put forth a very serious “top 10″ of Rock (and near-Rock) blogs, just because I miss the rankings. Though, my rankings will probably miss the hillarity, mystery, and impact of the original E&D rankings (I don’t have […]
This should be good…
Thursday, January 13th, 2005Ben Wyatt - A four dimensional vector field of spontaniety.
In the great tradition of right-wing-conservative sociopolitical commentary from NotOurHome blogs…
iProduct
Thursday, January 13th, 2005With all the hype about sweet new mac products that we all need, I thought this was very appropritate.
(disclaimer: sorry about the errant profanity… i didn’t see it when i first posted this, if it’s going to make your brain bleed don’t read the second paragraph)
Comment Spam Counter Measures
Thursday, January 13th, 2005Anyone who has a blog hates comment spam.
I have recently done two things to the notourhome.com blog system to improve comment filtering/spam blocking.
I installed MT-Blacklist and Conversationkiller. I also renamed the mt-comments.cgi script. (The script that creates/posts comments). These measures combined, should make for a very powerful spam-stopping system for all NotOurHome […]
PlaneShift
Thursday, January 13th, 2005This new freeware game for the Mac could spell disaster for my usage of time. I may need several of you out there to keep me accountable to not download this.
I resisted the siren call of Everquest and (worse still) Neverwinter Nights or even World of Warcraft mostly because of cost, and realizing that […]
God Pod
Wednesday, January 12th, 2005U2 did it.
Why shouldn’t Christians?
What an awesome idea from ChurchMarketingSucks.com, encouraging us to “think different”

Vanessa Strohmeyer
Welcome aboard. Looking forward to reading you.
Snow, I-80, 2am
Wednesday, January 5th, 2005A lot of people are telling their snow stories on blogs, thought I’d add mine.
Last night was Nancy and my date night. Due to the snow, we decided to stay inside and make homemade pizza (which was amazing), and watch WHAT ABOUT BOB, one of my favorite comedies (and Nancy’s too). Baby steps […]
