This Side of the Pulpit

Thoughts on Going Tech

During discussion of Romans 5 and the contrast between the First Adam and the Second Adam, one of the members was blown away at the “design” of our salvation. It’s typology, and she was impressed. The discussion continued and I thought of the perfect analogy of God’s “Deep Magic” as C.S. Lewis would call it: [...]

Sound Bite

I think Facebook and text messaging is ruinging ruining my blogging and thinking skills.
And typing skills.

Boring Computer Hardware Post

I’m through with Dell Computers.
This time it’s the power supply. Our home computer has taken to shutting down suddenly and without notice every so often. That computer runs Ubuntu most of the time, so it doesn’t freak out about “not shutting down correctly”, but it’s annoying and could eventually cause some data loss.
No big deal, right? [...]

Logos: Strike That

After I wrote last week about using the Logos Bible Software, I found that I was actually dreading doing exegesis for sermons. Logos just wasn’t operating as easily as I hoped it would, and I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to make it work.
There were tons of training videos available, [...]

Social Media

I thought I had this blog linked up well with Facebook and Twitter, but as it turns out, the links to these blog posts aren’t coming through. Hmmm. I made some changes last night and hopefully I’ve got it set up right. If this post doesn’t make a link over at Facebook or Twitter, then [...]

Don’t Split Yer Coax!

YESTERDAY:
We have been having Internet problems at home for the past couple of weeks. Most of the time it worked pretty well, but then we’d have times of limited or no connectivity. To make matters worse, our phone is through Vonage now, so while on phone calls the signal would go in and out. Frustrating.

Post Problem

I want to apologize for some technical difficulties the blog has had. Some of the “permalinks” aren’t pointing to the right page, so when you clicked an article headline, you may have gotten the “not found” page. I’ve narrowed it down to a problem with one of my plug-ins, which is the good news. The [...]

Blog Expansion is Here!

I’ve implemented the expansion I wrote about earlier. Now posts on Ubuntu, Linux, computers, gadgets and stuff may be found by clicking on the page above called Techno-Noob. A “noob” is slang for “newbie” which is slang for “new user,” usually meaning somehow who barely knows how to find the “on” switch. That’s [...]

Looks to be an interesting new site.

Palm Pre to be Released on my Sister’s Birthday

I’ve been a long-time Palm-user, going back to my Seminary graduation when my bride-to-be bought me a Handspring Visor. It was a great machine…until it slid off the desktop sync stand and the screen cracked. I then owned a M100 or something. It was just okay. After that I bought a Tungsten E. It was [...]
