• Monday 31 | WordPress 2.5

  WordPress › Blog » WordPress 2.5
  For those of you wondering, Wordpress 2.5 is available for download. It offers a lot of back-end changes that make it more user friendly, unless you’ve been using it for some time, in which case it takes some getting used to.
  I highly recommend upgrading as it does have some [...]

• Sunday 30 | Oh Snap!

  As you can see, there have been some changes here. Problem is, these aren’t the changes I wanted to make. Sometimes you can be so comfortable with Wordpress that you accidentally delete your site’s theme, plugins and all uploaded images during a simple upgrade.
  Please be patient as I try to reconstruct by site [...]

• Saturday 29 | Corbin is too big

  So I’ve heard that most babies double their birth weight at around 6 months. Corbin did it at 3 months. While that sounds real impressive, and it is, there are a few drawbacks. First, he’s that much heavier so holding him gets harder each day. Second, he’s going through his clothes [...]

• Friday 28 | Creative RSS Button – Could it Work?

  I was reading an interesting post over at SEOmoz and it got me thinking. The issue was increasing feed subscriptions by using creative feed icons instead of the traditional orange icon. While some were very creative, many looked too much like ads and would likely scare off readers new to feeds, and experienced [...]

• Tuesday 25 | What is ‘Open’ Christianity

  This is from a discussion I had that was started by my post, ‘Open’ Christianity kills me
  So what exactly is open Christianity? Youtube is down
  “Open” Christianity is basically the belief that God is whatever you want Him to be. Here’s a quote from a leading supporter of ‘Open’ Christianity.

  OPEN CHRISTIANITY invites you to love [...]

• Monday 24 | Easter was great

  This weekend was great. The weather was awesome, the bay wasn’t crowded and Easter lunch was fun. Friday night, our friend Angie came over (long overdue) and she made us dinner and we taught her how to play Settlers of Catan. I won both games but it was close.
  Saturday, we went down [...]

• Sunday 23 | It’s getting hot in here

  You may recall from last summer that our air conditioning doesn’t work. The price to fix it then was broken down into three options.

  Replacing the roof top unit only ~ $1950 (uses the old-style coolant)
  Replacing the rooftop and ceiling units ~ $4880 (uses the new generation coolant)
  Replacing both with a cooling/heating unit ~ $5650 [...]

• Saturday 22 | ‘Open’ Christianity kills me

  So I saw this (finally) on my good friend Sam’s site, Gospel Prisim and just had to share this. So many of the popular shows (even one’s I like) tend to have or promote very anti-Christian values. I once watched an episode of Cold Case that centered on a man who murdered some [...]

• Friday 21 | Easter is Coming

  So today, Julia (and Corbin) are going to decorate some easter eggs. In that spirit, here’s a little Easter Humor to lighten your day.

  Here’s another good one – Easter Humor at PhotoJulia.com

  GRAND CANYON WEST, AZ (March 19, 2008) Last year on March 28, 2007 thousands of people lined up to be some of the first to experience the Grand Canyon Skywalk, [...]

• Tuesday 18 | WordPress 2.5 Sneak Peek

  Wordpress 2.5 is on the horizon and has been totally redesigned for improving the user experience. The dashboard will now have actual useful information. The tabs are better organized to be more intuitive and efficient. Overall, the work flow is improved by restructuring the backend navigation so that the most used items [...]

• Monday 17 | Heaven

  A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.”
  Very quietly, the doctor said, “I don’t know.”
  “You don’t know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other [...]

• Monday 17 | Celebrity look alike, not so much

  Looks less alike then look alikes should. I’ll stick with my own interpretations

• Monday 17 | Pictures Of Corbin

  I thought you’d all enjoy new pictures of Corbin. He’s 3 months 1 week and 4 days old, but nobody’s counting. hehe.
  He’s very alert, curious, easy going, babbles constantly, loves to cuddle, hates being on his tummy, bats at toys, just recently found out that he can put his hands in his mouth, laughs, [...]

• Wednesday 12 | Examination Dates

  I opened the mail to find my letter letting me know that my California Supplemental Examination (CSE) application and fee was received and that I am scheduled for the Northern California exam in July. They will send me a follow up letter with the exact date and time will be sent aproximately 30 days [...]

• Wednesday 12 | Meg Ryan is hot?

  Email spam is fun. OK, maybe more die-a-thousand-deaths-you-spamming-pigs but it can be funny.
  I’ve never been much for porn. As a youth, I saw a few “art films” (wink wink) and even though I was understandably aroused, I never felt satisfied. As I got older, I began to see how degrading (to [...]

• Monday 10 | What is Sin?

  So I just heard that the Vatican has announced several new sins. But it seems to me, there’s no such thing as new sins. In fact, there are basically three types of sin which manifest themselves in various forms.
  What is…sin’s essence? Playing God…acting as if you, and your pleasure, were the end [...]

• Monday 10 | Bubbles!

  A while back, we picked up a used Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer on Craig’s list. Even though I checked to make sure it was working, I didn’t notice that the bubbles didn’t work. So instead of a soothing display of bubbles every few seconds, Corbin was exposed to a violent sounding whine [...]

• Friday 7 | Hey Jude

  Hey Jude Lyrics for those who have trouble with his Engrish…

• Friday 7 | I wish I knew you

  Friday night was the memorial service for my cousin Melissa (22). I wasn’t planning on going but my mom reminded me of how much we need our family (no matter how distant) around us during these tragic times. It’s not that I didn’t care, it’s just that I didn’t really know her. [...]

• Thursday 6 | Life and Death

  I read a post called Life and Death and it got me thinking…
  I’ll be going to a memorial service tomorrow and this issue has been weighing on my mind. How do we comfort those who pass on and those who remain? I don’t think believers have as much difficulty with death [...]
