No Extensions In Firefox?
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I'm getting like crazy frustrated here...
You know all those wonderful firefox extensions which allow web developers like me to work even faster and more efficiently? Well... They must all hate me.
I've heard incredible things about Firebug and Y-Slow as far as web development tools go, but can I use them?
Apparently no...

Life is Too Short to Hate Your Job
PoeticIntensity
My mom called me up a couple of days ago to give me some not-so-great news.
My dad got fired from his job. Now, those of you who know my dad know that he isn't "fire-able" material. While he was employed at his full-time job at the prime of his life, he happened to "keep a job" for more than 15 years, so... ...

Optical Illusion

Last night before going to bed, I (well my wife) discovered an interesting phenomenon. Some type of optical trick/illusion, I don't know what is actually causing it.
I was playing with a laser pointer with the lights out. It was completly dark and my wife asked me if I could see the blue streak seemingly coming out of the red dot. At first I didn...

Microsoft Makes Me Sick

I don't even know where to begin on this one. Maybe I'll start by screaming in frustration due to Microsoft's complete incompetence..... or is it incompetence? Maybe, and more likely, it's completely calculated, thought-through, planned, and executed....
Apparently, Microsoft sent out an "automatic update" to all XP a...

Temptation and Personal Battles
PoeticIntensity
Something which I've never even tried to verabalize, let alone write down is the subject for today's blog.
I've always thought there must be something wrong with me, since I've always been almost at the point of being tormented spiritually. That may seem a bit harsh, and surprising to those who know me, but it's true. Never actually ...

XFCE - Bouncing-back Window Focus

Since I recently have switched to XFCE on my work computer (all home computers are still running Gnome), I've noticed a strange behavior with window focusing. I'm trying to decide whether this is a feature, or a bug.
What happens, happens once-in-a-while and I can't get it to do the same thing consistently. Whether it's because this i...

Mustang's Fog-lights?

So, I get my car going about 25 down a very lowly-li...

At the time I watched it, I didn't think much of it. It was funny, and it was Steve Ballmer. Hooray.

Okay, two parts did.
The first is verses 8 - 13. It seems to me that these verses are talking about the kingdom of Judah. Though they may assemble themselves and try, they will ultimately fail unless they begin to fear God. (again, could b...

In my research I came upon the wonderful debate on whether or not members of the LDS church are “Christians”. The arguments pointed out were surprisingly well-worded and easy to understand. One of the main on...

Verses like 16 and 18 really hit home on what we're in for.
I can only assume the destruction of Babylon can be typed as a metaphor for what is coming when Christ comes again....

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.
