My First Python Script
PoeticIntensity
When I went in to my 6 month review about 4 month ago, I didnt know what I was in for.
I assumed things would go well because I had accomplished everything I set out to do and more, so I felt pretty good.
The interview went very well. They complimented me on my work, the sales reports, the new web site, the money I was saving the compan...

I'm so disappointed in the way things played out this last April. I just finished reading President Monson's talk, and thus concluded the Priesthood session, and I so would loved to have been there. But the past is the past, and I should consider myself grateful to be able to read the words after-the-fact.

Video Editing With Kdenlive

I've recently become interested in integrating video into my journal and blog. As such, I realized that my 4-year old digial camera just wasn't gonna cut it anymore, so I went out and bought the cheapest camera I could find that would shoot 30 frames per second which happened to be the Nikon S210 digital camera. It takes pretty good vid...

There were finksters-a-plenty there on Friday, but even more on Saturday. I lost count of how many Rat Finks I saw.

So, he liked it so much, and from what I could tell, ...

Alma 29

Chapter 29 of Alma is such a good chapter - on so many levels, too.
How would it feel like to want the good of mankind so badly, that it caused you to take time to carve your feelings out in brass plates? Putting all the doctrine of this wonderful chapter aside, the beginning verses give me a tiny glimpse into the type of desires living a p...

Alma : 33

Hmm... I really like when prophets, like Alma, quote other prophets to make a point. The best way to keep the doctrine pure is to look the reference up. Otherwise, it inevitably will be diluted down. Ain't no doctrine like pure doctrine.
Interesting that the quote from Zenos in verses 4-11 is paraphrased beautifully in Alm...

Mosiah : 14

One question comes to mind this time reading chapter 14 and the beginning of 15.
Why in the world did Abinadi think these priests could understand what he was talking about?
An interesting perspective can be had when the audience of each scripture is considered.
The thing I don't get about these chapters (14 and 15), is that the doctrine A...
