Leaders that succeed in failure
Posted August 30th, 2007 by MikeIt is possible to have great visible success, yet be completely wrong….. numbers 20:11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. 12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to [...]

Baptising by firehose
Posted August 27th, 2007 by MikeThere are many issues with baptism by firehose, the least of which is the sprinkling aspect. The whole “periodic refresher” thing isn’t too cool either. Here in Birmingham, I don’t think spraying down people with a firehose would go over too well.

Hosting your own weblog
Posted August 27th, 2007 by MikeThis is why I tend to favor hosting your own blog, either on your own servers or through a service. You can use blogger, or blogspot, or wordpress.com, or whatever…but you really don’t control anything that way. And they can take it all away either accidentally or on purpose. Blogs contain tons of information that [...]

Copyright Evil
Posted August 24th, 2007 by MikeMore on that girl who was arrested for taking a short video of Transformers with her cell phone. Sounds like the Corporate goons at Regal evidently pushed for it. She faces a year in jail and $2500 fine for taking a grainy video of a movie with her cell phone so she could send it [...]
Yo! Gabba Gabba
Posted August 23rd, 2007 by MikeIn a dispatch from the front lines of my family, my wife indicated that my son is all about this show now. And in a definite indicator that God picked this woman just for me, she noticed the brief “Pitfall” reference in the middle of the video.
More Absolutely Insane School Administrators
Posted August 23rd, 2007 by MikeWhat is wrong with these people!?!?!?! I know many public school teachers, and I can honestly say I have a solid respect for them all. But I’m planning to devote a significant chunk of our household income to ensuring my children stay in private school. Why? Because our massive, increasingly federalized public school system seems [...]

Bacn
Posted August 22nd, 2007 by MikeApparently, the latest internet buzzword is “bacn”. I’d explain what it is…but they’re talking about how it’s one of the top search terms in search engines right now. So go do your part and google it.

Presidential advance free speech “Scandal”
Posted August 22nd, 2007 by MikeHere’s a link about how presidential advance teams manipulate the security situation for political spin. I never worked advance, but I worked on many rallies. Most of this is spot on. However, I can safely say that it has little to do with politics. All advance teams do this, Republican or Democrat. In prez/VP events, [...]

More fabrication of beauty
Posted August 21st, 2007 by MikeRemember, this is what we and our kids are being sold as perfection. It’s unattainable. It doesn’t exist. It’s fake. Click on portfolio, then click the pictures at the bottom. Mouse-over to see the original.
Factory made out of legos builds cars made out of legos

Alan Greenspan on Subprime
Posted August 21st, 2007 by MikeFrom remarks a little over 2 years ago: With these advances in technology, lenders have taken advantage of credit-scoring models and other techniques for efficiently extending credit to a broader spectrum of consumers. The widespread adoption of these models has reduced the costs of evaluating the creditworthiness of borrowers, and in competitive markets cost reductions [...]

The big question…
Posted August 20th, 2007 by Mike…of the current financial situation is “how much of the money spent over the last decade was real?” Subtract all that home equity and federal charge card money then see how much real value is left over. If that number is high, then this is just “volatility” that will eventually smooth out as a strong [...]
Coolest spam name

Integrity
Posted August 17th, 2007 by MikeAs the saying goes: “Integrity is who you are when people aren’t watching”. I think it should go something like “Busted is who you are when you think people aren’t watching”. Don’t know if this is fake or not. The sad part is it could be real, and we’re likely to believe it these days.
