I’ve not made it a secret that I’m not a big fan of MySpace. Personally, I think the basic concept of it is pretty cool, but it’s just so dang ugly I can’t really bear to look at most of the pages. Even the best pages look about as attractive as a half-eaten donut sitting […]

Staying Faithful - Donald Miller audio on Veritas Forum
The first half is a talk by Don in which is thoughtfulness shines. Plan on some time after listening to just sit and journal some thoughts. (Disclaimer: I might romanticize this talk a bit because I […]

Even though he is a brand new daddy, my good friend Justin is finding the time to coordinate a donation of $2 million worth of water purifiers to a mission in Africa. To help make it happen, he and some other friends are trying to raise $8000 in shipping costs. (I know Justin and others […]

(Hmm…there wasn’t supposed to be a week of silence between these two posts. Life happens I guess.)
As promised (or threatened), here are a list of utilities that, at this point, I couldn’t live without. I consider these utilities because either they are running in the background and I don’t interact with them directly, or they […]

For those who are anticipating the next Explosions in the Sky with me, give a listen to You Are the Conductor by Caspian. [iTunes | Amazon] Should tide you over nicely.

There have been a splattering of quotes on other blogs, but for those who haven’t read it, the Christianity Today has a worthwhile interview with NT Wright called Mere Mission.
In the his answer to the first question, he states why I’ve grown to appreciate his work so much:
Because I’ve done all that historical work, my […]

I’ve decided to close up shop on inbreaking.com. The site wasn’t getting used other than a few posts here and there, and it was starting to attract spammers. Rather than try to wage a battle that was sure to grow, I just shut it down.
For now, I have redirected the inbreaking.com domain to this blog.

If you are a Mac user, check out MacHeist. They are selling a bundle of Mac software worth over $200 for only $49, and $10 from every purchase goes to whatever charity you designate. As more money is raised, a few more apps will become available.
Personally, I was excited just because I was already […]

I’m at the Revolution Conference this weekend. I’ll probably try to share a few notes here and there, but right now, I’m sitting next to Justin Baeder who is typing feverishly, so go visit his blog.
Note: Bob Hyatt is also blogging more extensively than I am.

While meandering through iTunes tonight, I disovered that Rob Bell and Mars Hill actually have an official podcast up and running. There is even a link at the bottom of their sermon download page. Who knew? Is this some kind of grand conspiracy that has been hidden from me for all this time?

With some iTunes GiftCards in hand, I went on the hunt for some new music. I ran across Silversun Pickups and I’m hooked. I got Carnavas, and I’m giving it some time to settle in before I go get their EP as well. If you have good taste in music, give them a listen. […]
