Exactly WHY are Frames bad?
Thursday, September 29th, 2005I was recently asked why exactly it is that one should not use a frameset for a Web site. A frames based page is something I’ve always sort of recognized as a bad thing, but have never had to verbalize or support objectively before; until now.
Ode to my CrockPot
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005Well, in a completely different vein than my previous two entries, I thought I would share about the “tragedy” that happened the other night in my kitchen. dramatic pause I discovered a large crack in my Crock Pot.
It seems my CrockPot and I really bonded this last year…I found out that […]
God Sighting: Car repairs
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005Our Nissan has needed a pretty significant repair (idler pulley needed replacing) for the last several months. This repair was quoted at around $360 (mostly labor). I prayed about it and decided to put it off as we are trying to complete our pledge to The Ezekiel Project.
Yesterday, the engine noise was getting […]
Here comes Rita
Friday, September 23rd, 2005From my Aunt and Uncle who live in Texas, in reply to an inquiry about their well being.
Yes, unfortunately, we are going to have some consequences of this storm. They are predicting for us to have 125 mph SUSTAINED winds for hours and ~ 25 inches of rain. Mark has been in California […]

Improving Link Display for Print
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005Print style sheets are a very handy (and becoming a necessary) part of content-driven CSS based sites. One never-quite-perfect aspect of print style sheets has been displaying link URLs in the print version. The current method is to use a little CSS/DOM trickery to place the URL after the linked text within the [...]
Need to brush up on your music theory?
Tuesday, September 20th, 2005While hunting for some stuff for my piano students, I came across Ricci Adams’ www.musictheory.net. It’s FREE, and is pretty user-friendly for being FREE. It has some great opportunities for young students to practice naming notes, as well as some trickier stuff like hearing intervals for you pros. How are you all […]
Crowder iTunes: A Collision is Coming “EP”
Tuesday, September 20th, 2005Don’t believe that Rock n Roll can really change the world…
For those of you who can’t wait (and I recommend you don’t), you can download three tracks off the new Crowder disc from iTunes.
You can download all three as an album for $2.59. If you must pick only one, I highly highly recommend “Foreverandever […]
Katrina video link
Monday, September 19th, 2005Wow…I’ve been checking the Samaritan’s Purse website frequently to see if they might post something about Ernestina and Jose (because I saw their camera crews with them) and it’s up there! If you watch the video on front of that page, you will see some scenes from a shelter…those are all taken in the […]
My take on Louisiana…
Monday, September 19th, 2005Well, I’ve been kind of putting off actually putting down on “paper” what God let me see/experience/learn during our time in Shreveport, but I’m convinced that He might want someone else to hear about what I saw/experienced/learned so I’ll do it :)
Thursday We arrived in Shreveport about 11am on Thursday, September 8. We got the […]

CD Review - David Crowder Band: A Collision or (3 + 4 = 7)
Thursday, September 15th, 2005I’ve been waiting for this CD since the Spring when they announced they were recording it and they had live Web cams in their studio documenting the process.
Last time I was this excited about a CD, I was disappointed, and I got progressively more disappointed as time went on. I am not disappointed.
Musically speaking, […]
The Hirsch Shelter
Tuesday, September 13th, 2005www.hirschshelter.com is now up and active. That is one of the main things I worked on while down there.
(btw, none of the content is mine, just the layout, design, and systems behind it. So, the glowing review of the volunteers is from them. Thanks guys. We love you too. I […]

Ames Rock to Shreveport, LA - a news release… of sorts…
Monday, September 12th, 2005We all sat and watched in shock as the Gulf Coast was pounded by hurricane Katrina. We followed the news in horror as the story of the ensuing chaos and devastation unfolded. We felt helpless. So we decided to go.
Several members of Mars Hill church in Iowa City and Stonebrook Community […]
The Hirsch - entry one.
Monday, September 12th, 2005At first I was disappointed that we were not going to Baton Rouge or another city that was actually damaged by the hurricane to help clean up. I was especially jealous when I found out that the other crew was headed down to Mandeville (and farther south and east still). I wanted to […]
Shreveport Day 3
Saturday, September 10th, 2005“I’m not the church going type, but if it weren’t for the Christian Churches, we’d all be flat on our butts.”
Red Cross Volunteer we are working with, to a reporter.
I do not post this quote as a boast, but I am overwhelmed at how all of the residents, most of them headed up by churches, […]
