It’s Me!

Thanks in part to a memorial donation, and in part to the Transformation Ministries budget, we now have our very own ID Badge Printer.  This is the first draft of the design for staff badges.  Sue and I have have been wanting one for a while.  Here’s why:

They’re great for security.  We think parents [...]

I Ate A Huge Frog Today

I really like the final product we get from the company that does our T-Shirts.  The problem is, they’re really hard to work with over the phone or email, so unless you’re willing to drive out there, it can be a chore getting things ordered.  Today was the day to eat that frog.  The first [...]

Fun Netflix Protest

Jaime and I were talking about ways to protest Netflix’s stupid decision to discontinue the profiles feature.  We decided it would be funny to put little pictures in with each disc we ship back.  Here are the two we’ll be using:

They are called Lolcats from ICanHasCheezburger.com, via their lolcat builder.  Maybe others will [...]

Firefox 3 Released and Why I Like It

Firefox 3.0 has been released.  I participated in the attempt to set a World Record for downloading software when it came out. 
Pastor asked me what the big deal was about Firefox.  I like the ‘Fox for several reasons, but mostly because of the ability to add features to the browser through their Add-Ons feature.  [...]

We Apologize For The Inconvenience

I just got an email from Netflix that ended that way.  Essentially, Netflix is eliminating profiles, the feature that allowed you to have multiple queues on a single account.  The entire text of the email is available on their FAQ.  Jaime and I used this feature to allow us to each have a list of [...]

We Wants It

Maybe not as much as this guy wanted his precious, but I want it pretty bad.  With so much of my life happening online, it just makes sense to get one.  Some of the cool new features/specs on the iPhone 3G:

2.8x faster than the first generation, thanks to the switch to 3G over EDGE.
3rd Party [...]

Free Antivirus Software

Many of you know about my passion for free software.  There is almost always a free version of popular software that you can use at home to save some money.  Digsby was one of my more recent suggestions. 
Lifehacker just did a Hive 5 on Antivirus Software.  I’ve used AVG and Avast at home.  Either [...]

Sneak Peek: Love Out Loud

We came up with a new idea for the Carwash this year.  Instead of making phone calls to members asking for money, we’re going to show a video at church this Sunday and next and then just ask for money as a free-will offering.  The video will feature several of our youth talking about what [...]

Youth Talent Show Video

A while back, our youth put on a talent show as part of a fundraiser for Workcamp.  I was cleaning out some space on my hard drive and came across the video recordings we did.  I’m working on getting them formatted for YouTube so you can see the performances if you missed it.  Here’s the [...]

Must-Have Facebook App

Yes, that’s correct.  I found a Facebook App that you must install.  It’s called fbCal. Once installed, it creates an iCal file for your friends’ birthdays and another for events you register for on Facebook.  The events aren’t useful to me, but the birthdays thing is great.  I subscribed to the iCal file in Google [...]
