Where Are The Wise Men?

David, aka Nubi tagged me and I guess I’m it. I’m supposed to:

Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

Deuteronomy 11:18-12 encourages the Israelites to fix God’s laws into their minds and even says to “write them on your doorframes.”

I’ve said before that our church building has some serious building needs and we are currently building a new sanctuary (Or “worship center” using the new parlance.). Two Sundays ago we were [...]

I was oh so happy a little while back that NetNewsWire was released for free (as in beer).  I liked NetNewsWire before but didn’t think that it was worth the $30.  Well, now I can still use it!  It’s fast (yes faster than Bloglines, Google Reader, etc) and you can post to del.icio.us straight from [...]

One of my goals for 2008 is to work on my Emacs-fu, i.e. learn more of the nice abilities that Emacs has. I read a lot of Emacs-centric blogs and programming.reddit.com sometimes has some nice things. But how can I remember those nice things? And how can I get the nice items that [...]

This is really the a follow-up to my initial review and my first follow-up on our wonderful Kenmore Elite Dishwasher. Why am I doing this? Not just because those are the two most hit entries on this blog (who would have guessed that??) but we also had our first problem with our dishwasher.
