Temple Worthiness
PoeticIntensity
Continuing in the tradition of weekly fasting, church this week was very enlightening. Sarah and I decided to go to a new "marriage and family" class instead of the usual gospel doctrine lesson, and I'm quite glad we made that decision.
Lately, temple worthiness hasn't meant much to me. There's more to that story, but that's...

Incredible Speech on Creativity
PoeticIntensity
A couple of days ago, I wrote a post about failure and innovation. I had just seen the movie "Meet The Robinson's" which is a movie all about creativity, failures, leaving the past behind you, and always looking forward.
Well... Orson Jones gave a pretty incredible link in the 1 comment in that post.

Is Linux Really More Secure?
PoeticIntensity
I've been using Linux now for long enough to have heard just about all the facts, opinions, babblings, and flame-wars about Linux security vs. Microsoft security.
*sigh*
It seems that every time I try to explain to people the added security inherent to Linux, they have all sorts of explanations why my explanations are bogus. Some of my ...

Failure and Innovation
PoeticIntensity
I saw a good movie the other day. It's called "Meet The Robinsons".
If you haven't seen it yet, and you like movies which actually have a moral (kind of tough to find now-a-days), I'd highly recommend it.
A specific part of the movie caught my attention and is the cause for this entry. The part basically consists of a li...

Steve Ballmer At His Best
PoeticIntensity
About a month ago, I came upon this video, which you simply must watch. It's basically a re-make of videos previously posted about a pretty animated Steve Ballmer (Microsoft's CEO) put to music, and hacked up beautifully.
At the time I watched it, I didn't think much of it. It was funny, and it was Steve Ballmer. Hooray.

Hehe.... I was looking at this site yesterday while I was browsing around my new RSS feed stuff. I didn't get past game number 4.
I've never been one to spend a lot of time playing online flash-based games, but I have to admit, Desktop Tower Defense is pretty darned amazing. Amazingly addictive, I mean.

Laws vs. Common Decency

I just got done following this story and it's got me thinking about some of the problems we have in today's society.
I'm not quite as empassioned about this as I thought I would be, but rather, I find myself thinking about the problems caused by people's thoughtless actions.
Is it wrong to voice your opinion about your disgust at the military...

So I'm sure many of you know that I've been working on a new project this year called "Herod the Fink". We built a new site for it, and update the project's blog semi-regularly. The site has music, photos, videos, and more, so you can get familiar with us, and know what to expect when we invade your living rooms...

Alma : 61, 62
PoeticIntensity
Reading through Alma 60 and 61, I can vividly imagine what it would be like to live in times like those. I imagine the cry for freedom being heard through the streets, as neighbors and friends decide to take up arms in defense of our right to worship how we want, and for the protection of our families, traditions, and way of life. Putti...

All my family really wanted was snow, we've not seen snow in so long. My two little brothers have neve...

Book of Mormon Intro.
PoeticIntensity
This entry begins the documenting of my studies of the Book of Mormon in my "journal". One of my new year's resolutions for 2008 is to read, study, and write about every chapter in the Book of Mormon. I figured today was as good a time as any to begin.
And so I begin with the Introduction of the Book of Mormon.

2nd Nephi : 23

All I gotta say about this chapter is man, I do not want to be on the wrong side of things when the 2nd coming of Christ is ushered in.
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....
