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, [...]

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 “eschatos” (ἔσχατος : “the last”), and means the study of last things. It can be used [...]

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.
