The should get this guy on 60 Minutes instead of that “Micky Rooney” guy:

the bad boy

On the compter in our meeting area, we have the x3 acountablitiy software running on it (provided by xxxchurch.com).  Recently, I added myself as one of the people getting the report.  Today, I got my first report, and it turns out that this very blog is one of the sites that has been flagged as [...]

random stuff

The Dark Knight was awesome.  That’s all I’m going to say about it. 
I was not aware of this phenomenon, but apparently, some Christian news sites refuse to use the word “gay” and insist on using “homosexual.”  I’m not sure of why such a distinction is important, but I suppose that’s thier choice.  And, I guess [...]

hotel bauer

A few trailers for “24:Exile” have leaked to the internet.  This is the 2 hour prequel to season 7 that Fox is offering us as an appology for postponing the season due to the writer’s strike.  It looks pretty cool, sort of a “Hotel Rwanda” kind of story, only if Jack Bauer had been there.
This [...]

oops

In the previous post, I mean to link to this.  It’s an outstanding column about what Jesee Jackson meant in the early days of his career.

the verdict

the blog lives.

the suspension

I got a comment from Tommy on my recent lack of blogging.  This time, it’s due neither to writer’s block or laziness.  Without going into too much detail, here’s the deal . . . For the most part, I’ve always felt that the tone of this blog, though a bit sarcastic, was fairly benign. Earlier [...]

there’s always hope

I remember saying something similar to the following on my old blog about this time last year:
“Today, I heard one of those commericals for some type of hair regrowth drugs.  Then, it occurred to me that I am now in their target audience.”
So, as you can imagine, when I saw this article about being able [...]

announcement

I’m back from Mexico.  It was awesome.  I’ll begin writing again soon.  I promise.  Stay awesome, everyone.

the hotdog mystery

This afternoon, I went to my refrigerator to grab a tasty beverage.  I noticed a package of hotdogs in there that I did not remember buying.  I also noticed that there were 2 missing that I do not remember eating.  Now, being a bachelor, the possibility was there that these were simply left over from [...]

i need you

Next week, I’m going to be away on a mission trip to Mexico.  I want my blog to keep going in my absence.  WordPress has an option where you can write a post and then it will post it at a later time you specify.  I plan to do that, but I would also like [...]

social networking projects

One recurring “theme” on facebook is the students doing a “social networking” project.  Generally, they create a group or an event and see how many people they can reach in a given amount of time.  I suppose this is supposed to tell us the potential for social networking sites, presumably for marketing.
The problem is that [...]

email threats

Tonight I got a really weird email.  The guy started it off by apologizing for “beating me up in high school.”  He then went on a really condescending rant about my “actions” against a police officer.  Obviously, I never went to high school with this guy, and was clueless as to the nature of the [...]

is there a shortage of maroon cars out there?

Yesterday, a guy came up to me and said the following:
“Your car is the same color as my jacket.  Want to sell it to me?”
I though he was joking.  But, he gave me his business card.

friday queue cleaning–april 18

(note:  apparently, I hit save instead of publish on this post Friday.  Alas!)
This week I was fairly busy, and didn’t do a good job of queueing articles. But, there’s a few topics to touch on, so:
__________________________________________________________________
Apparently Howard Dean wants a nominee, and he wants it now. Waiting until the convention in August is [...]
