I’m not so sure motion sensor lights in bathrooms are a good idea.

I read “an interesting article”:http://wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,65106,00.html over at “Wired News”:http://www.wired.com yesterday. Apparently, Google News is facing some complex issues. I’ve been wondering for a while why it’s still considered beta even though it hasn’t changed much since I stumbled across it almost a year ago.
The answer is simple: it’s not generating any revenue for Google. Since [...]

“Spread Firefox”:http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/register&r=5005 has started a new campaign to get 10,000 users signed up to help spread the word.
If you haven’t signed up, yet, get your butt in gear!

I’m seriously considering a switch to “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org, but I’m not sure I’m ready to take the plunge, yet. I’ve installed a test at joeyday.com/wp so I can try it out. It’s very different from MT.
What I like about it is that pages are generated entirely with PHP and MySQL. No Perl/CGI is used at all, [...]

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had frequent and long-lasting nosebleeds, always from the left nostril. Since I lived in Kentucky, I’ve also had mild allergies. In the last four or five years I can’t remember having a cold without being sick for at least three weeks — I usually develop a sinus [...]

This article is the first in a three part review of the book A Case for Amillennialism: Understanding the End Times by Kim Riddlebarger. This book changed my perspective of eschatology dramatically.
The word eschatology comes from the greek word ἔσχατος (eschatos, “the last”), and means the study of last things. It can be used in [...]

I turned in my application for full-major status in the “Computer Science”:http://www.cs.utah.edu program today. What a relief. I’ve been putting that off for several semesters now, and I’m not really sure why. I’m glad that I’ve finally turned it in, but a bit apprehensive about whether they’ll actually accept me or not. Time will tell…

Anybody wishing they had a “Gmail”:http://www.gmail.com account? If so, let me know. I’ve got 6 invites. I’m not sure why I have them, considering the fact that I haven’t even been using my account, but whatever.
Shoot me an “email”:http://www.joeyday.com/contact and I’ll shoot you back an invite (on a first come first served basis of course).
If [...]

When I first started using “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org I decided the fastest way to learn the system was to start from scratch building my own templates, rather than relying on their prebuilt ones (which are all boring, anyway). Consequently, I was very late to adopt some of the more useful features. It took me a while [...]

I had good-natured conversation about a month ago with a good friend of mine who is LDS. He asked me an open-ended and honest question: “How do you interpret John 3:5?” I gave him a short answer then, but I thought the subject deserved further scrutiny, so here’s my long answer.
