I have been asked how this website (the one you’re reading) got its name… so sit right back and you’ll hear a tale. Way back in the year 1997 I was gaming online with some Navy buddies of mine. Quake 2 had just come out and we hopped onto a server that had a paintball [...]
Tonight I was in discussion with females… (dangerous ground) …and bathrooms came up in conversation (when don’t they?). I guess I didn’t realize the following tidbit wasn’t common knowledge, but it was new info to these ladies… so in the interest of inter-gender exchange: Male Fact #762: In several public men’s restrooms (especially at restaurants [...]
Here is a PowerPoint presentation that I compiled to present a sampling of what Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) can do for web presentation and overall site design. This is intended to provide just enough information to give somebody who is somewhat HTML-exposed but possibly CSS-unlearned a taste of what it’s all about. I have expounded here [...]
Here’s another great Christmas wallpaper from Digital Blasphemy (Don’t you just love that name?). This one goes out to all you secular pagans who want Xmas wallpaper rather than Christmas wallpaper… or to those of you, like me, who enjoy the various sundry holiday traditions that have accumulated in lake-effect style (like Frosty and Burl [...]
Now’s as good a time as any to tell you about these two gems. Two CDs of guitar giants playing custom arrangements of Christmas favorites… called Merry Axemas and Merry Axemas Volume 2 (‘Axe’ is a nickname for a guitar). Whether it’s John Sykes lighting up God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman or Neil Schon rolling [...]
I think I’ve found a new place to worship… Ok, seriously this isn’t a real church sign, but it sure does look good, doesn’t it? It’s courtesy of churchsigngenerator.com. The saying is my choosing, and I think it’s a little diddy I heard… probably at a church business meeting or something. It’s even funnier that [...]
Here’s a comment I left on Alissa’s blog recently in a discussion about what the “Emergent Church” is. For my non-Christian readers this kind of thing will probably baffle you for sure (it baffles me)… but, alas, this may very well be an interesting read: WarAxe says: Ask 10 people what makes a church emergent [...]
You know you’re in a great country when… …you can stand on a pier surrounded by other anxious people – young, old – family and friends… each having a sailor on board a returning warship – son, daughter, mother, father… little children waving flags in excitement… grown women weeping at the sight of their husband’s [...]
On this anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor (probably the most infamous day in US Naval history) I am in Groton, CT at the New London Sub Base to welcome my little brother back from his deployment cruise on the USS Miami. It is on a day like this that one, if they have [...]
…that’s what it feels like to try and code a website for all major browsers who, of course, don’t interpret the style code the same way. It’s a beautiful thing. Like a burning monument or a moldy sandwich. Anyways… I finally was able to make this site expandable to the browser window. There is a [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
