Begrudgingly walking out of a mandatory chapel service today (during which I tuned out to some iPod and read) I was greeted by a zealous Gideon and a tiny green New Testament. Looking around, I realized this was happening to every student leaving chapel.
Thought it would be worth mentioning that Greg Boyd will be speaking at Mars Hill on the 29th of this month.
Worth going. Definitely worth going.
There is also a new tour planned, called Calling All Peacemakers. Check out its website. Unfortunately it only seems to be a european tour. The tour seems to be based off [...]
According to the HU website, chapels exist for the purpose of “spiritual formation.” Unfortunately, in practice, this doesn’t seem to be their true purpose. The true purpose of chapels is to coerce students to certain events which they wouldn’t otherwise be interested in going to.
Consider some of the events you receive chapel credit for. Now [...]
I do love organization. But I also love things when they stay the same. I’m a creature of habit.
*cough* Arby’s 5 for 5 all the time *cough*
Lately I’ve made some changes to, hopefully, improve my workflow a bit.
Just a note - in case anyone is interested in a) preparing and running a podcast or b) formatting their own video for play on both iPods and iTV, Apple has some information up about how best to do it. Check it out.
It really is pretty cool. I actually spent over an hour today going through my ~190 friends and setting our friend details. This involved, in some cases, listing multiple trips and work experiences together. The emphasis was put on when we met, and I tried not to delve too much into classes we shared together.

Mark this one under ‘personal goals.’ I want to avoid, anywhere possible, from saying “they” or “them.” Let me explain.
A recent happening at Smashing Magazine has sparked my interest in the issue of running a design contest in order to solicit designs to use as commercial identity. Smashing posted a request not too long ago asking for submissions in a logo design contest to create the identity of their magazine. It has since ended, [...]
I use a process for every ministry event we have at Aboite Lutheran Church, big or small. Using these steps have helped me prioritize and “streamline” my work, so I thought it might help others doing similar work.
Just caught an email from Rockstar announcing the first trailer for GTA IV. Looks pretty sweet.
I synced it to my new iPod.
I’ve also grabbed a video podcast from Ask A Ninja and season two of Robot Chicken, just to have something to do during chapels this week.
I was up late last night working to make a site functional across browsers. Anyone who does web design knows what those nights are like. I couldn’t sleep until I figured things out. Part of the reason was it took a long time for me to find an answer - which, in the end, I [...]
In the past I have had a strong distaste for Myspace (and still do), often offering free blog designs to my friends for promising to stay off Myspace / delete their current page. Yeah, I guess you could consider mine strong feelings.
So my friends might be surprised to hear that I actually had a tab [...]
