I’ve recently had the privilege to read and review the book Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna. First, I want to thank the authors and their publishers for giving me the opportunity to read such a deeply thought provoking volume. Second, I want to tell you right up front that whether you’re a Christian or not, you owe it to yourself — and frankly, to your relationship with God — to read this book. Seriously, it’s that kind of a book. Continue Reading

Here’s another thing that should be added to Stuff White People Like: The Robot. Normally I don’t find the robot entertaining but this guy does a truly excellent and unique job.
Danah Boyd: This Ain’t About Sexism
“I am very frustrated by how intolerant much of this country is, but I don’t have a lot of patience for when people suggest that one intolerance is better or worse than the other.”

The Science of Keyboard Design
Here’s an interesting piece on the science of keyboard design. For what it’s worth, I think this author really hits on something here (pun intended). Apple keyboards have always been hard for me to type fast on for two reasons. One, there’s no click and no feeling of actuation. Two, the keys are flat which makes it harder for me to type fast.
Reflections On: Leaving a Ministry
Reflections on: leaving a ministry. Great post, deep thoughts. It really is hard to leave any ministry but sometimes it has to be done.

Racism Toward Obama
These folks quite obviously have issues with ethnic prejudice. I’m inclined to wonder what kind of prejudice we’d see in other parts of the country as well.

[Photoshop Is Better
I’ve used The Gimp extensively on Windows as well as Linux. I’ve used Photoshop just as much on Mac and Windows and you know what? Photoshop is just easier. Is it worth $700 to a web designer? Absolutely.

“Press It” Bookmarklet for WordPress2.5
“Epic fail” is how one man described it. As many have found, WordPress2.5 shipped (intentionally, I presume) without the “Press It” bookmarklet link available in the Write Post pane. I’ve done a considerable amount of searching to find a replacement or even a hack and only found some mediocre plugins that didn’t really do what I wanted. Basically, I just wanted the old bookmarklet of old. A good friend pointed me to this WordPress support topic and in it you’ll find two options for creating your own WordPress bookmarklet. For those not technically inclined, let me show you how to do this in Firefox. I’ve not tried this in any other browser so YMMV. Continue Reading
Content Preceeds Design
“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.”

Absolutely hilarious. If you don’t know what ’sudo’ means, Scoble Weighs in on Facebook
Scoble weighs in on Microsoft’s apparent grasp for the whole Internet. He makes some compelling points. I’m off to set up a FriendFeed account just because he said so 
Man Babies
Man babies is one of those sites that makes you sit back and go “hmmmmm.”
Preaching Tonight
I’m all set to preach tonight. The sermon is polished up, the outline is ready to go. I still get nervous before I bring a message, I’m partly nervous that I won’t make any exegetical mistakes but mostly I’m paranoid about my fly being down while I’m on stage. It’s true.
