Friday 25 | In yo’ face, HATERZ! Vista is the RoXoRz
Microsoft has been beta testing a new Operating System (OS) to select Vista critics in San Francisco recently.

Monday 14 | What’s the opposite of a slippery slope?
With so many churches watering down the Gospel and others simply caving in to public opinion, it’s refreshing to see one church strengthen their position.
