Testing Blog by Mail

I’m writing this blog entry in an email and sending it to my wordpress software via a secret mail account I’ve set up on my server.
I’m not sure why anyone would do this, since it seems less convenient than blogging by internet. The only place I can think of where I have email but not [...]

Mormon Literature

This will be my last post on Mormonism for a while. I honestly never intended for this blog to center around Mormonism, but it’s a hard subject for me to avoid given my background and the concern I have for my friends and family.
The purpose of this post is to ask an honest question. I’m [...]

Janene’s Blog

I installed a copy of WordPress on my wife’s website a couple weeks ago. Since then she’s been thinking a lot about what she wants to blog about. I don’t think she’s arrived at any conclusions, yet, but at least she got the ball rolling today.
Please give a warm blogosphere welcome to my lovely wife [...]

Our Passover Lamb

Today is Good Friday. Many Christian blogs have been following the Passion week theme. For instance:

The Bible Archive has been narrating the Passion week one day at a time (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Fides Quaerens Intellectum has been exploring the philosophical issues surrounding the resurrection (1, 2, 3, 4).
The Irvins and Lutheran Confessions have both [...]

Testimony at SLTS

I had the great privilege of sharing my testimony with a group of Christian students from California last night up at [Salt Lake Theological Seminary]. I was invited by Blair Lerner, a recruiter from the seminary who I came in contact with only a few weeks ago.
The students (about 15 in the group) came from [...]

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2

Firefox 1.0.2 was released about an hour ago. According to “Asa”:http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007795.html, it’s a “proactive update to fix a bug that makes users vulnerable to a buffer overflow in GIF image processing.”
It probably won’t show up on auto-update for a few days, so if you like being on the leading edge, you should download it from [...]

Delicious Crazy

If you’re subscribed to my del.icio.us bookmarks feed, I apologize for cluttering up your feedreader this morning. I think I added over 30 bookmarks to my del.icio.us list. Whew!
I just did some spring cleaning in my own feedreader — deleted a bunch of stuff, reorganized my folder hierarchy, etc. — and decided to finally compile [...]

The Definition of Dichotomy

In response to “The Definition of Forgiveness”:http://www.joeyday.org/2005/02/14/the-definition-of-forgiveness, “B.P.”:http://www.joeyday.org/2005/02/14/the-definition-of-forgiveness#comment-78 said:
bq. You are correct that God commands us to forgive unconditionally, but He Himself sets conditions on His forgiveness. But you are INCORRECT to state that we Latter-Day Saints do not believe this way.

The Settlers of Catan

I played a fun board game called The Settlers of Catan the other night with my parents and Janene. I don’t think a game of this caliber has been released since Monopoly.
The game is complex enough to make it fun, but not complex enough to have a steep learning curve. The point of the game [...]
