Where Are The Wise Men?

I sent this post to Denny since is audience is different than mine, but this needs more attention.

On Think Christian this week I found a link to a one-sided Wired article about the New Atheism, mainly about how atheist leaders are no longer debating Christians, but evangelizing to the agnostics and “in the closest” atheists [...]

At work, we can get to the production server logs through the browser. This seems nice, but it's a lot of clicky-clicky just to get to the log file, then you have to download it. You can look at it in a browser, but to get real examination done, you need to open it [...]

At my parent's house over the holiday weekend, I was getting ready to show my mom some of the joys and wonders of OSX. When I went to move my MacBook Pro, I noted that the plastic around the magnetic cord was beginning to melt and I saw sparks fly out of that little [...]

Instead of a post about my Christmas (which was Merry, but the whole story isn't done yet -- more later!), I'm going to give you a handy Emacs function.

If you follow Gina's blog you'll note that Leah and I spent all of Monday together. Just before she left for KC, Gina and I thought for a while and figured out, remarkably, that this would be the first entire day that Leah and I were together without the help from Gina, or either of [...]

I spent most of my afternoon writing a class using Test Driven Development and it still astounds me that most people don't do this. For me, at least, it's the easiest and fastest way to create quality code. Note the word "quality" there -- I could sling code out faster, but it wouldn't [...]

I closed my review our Kenmore Dishwasher saying that you can't judge a dishwasher after a few days, but wait a year. Well, it's been 10 months but I will say a few more words. Both good and bad, but mostly good.

The Kenmore Dishwasher will washes extremely well. Our friends look at [...]
