Yet another insightful post on the Mel Gibson by Gregg Easterbrook. It’s hard to imagine how the Protestant evangelicals who are falling over each to praise this film didn’t think of this stuff. Some other thoughts…. Another mindboggling facet of the overwhelming Christian support for this film is how, suddenly, theology doesn’t matter much to […]

News and notes from the weekend…. Seb has finally gotten around to be interested in crawling. He’s not getting up on his knees and travelling great distances, but he’s scooting around on his belly when the spirit moves him.

Since I’m currently waiting for a client to approve some changes to a site I’m building for them, I’d thought I’d take a few minutes to talk about my new work environment and what I think about it so far (after two weeks). So far, so good….. There are roughly 13 programmers in the office. […]

Sitting on our dining room table is a contract signed both by us and seller’s of the house we’d like to buy. The wheels are turning now, and if all goes well, we’ll be moving in April 24. There’s much to do between then and now — home inspections, mortgages, insurance — but the deal […]
