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.

Laws vs. Common Decency
PoeticIntensity
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, on last chapter's post, someone left a wonderful comment. Thank you, whoever you are. That is precisely why I do this.

If the fortifications that Moroni built in the beginning were enough to astonish the Lamanites to the point that they were afraid to fight, and then failed to kill even one Nephite, while they themselves were slain to the tune of over 1,000 - I can only imagine what the additional fortifications did... Goes to show that a good Christian...

Alma 30 : Korihor
PoeticIntensity
Beginning this chapter, another testament to the correlation between peace and keeping God's commandments is apparent. Giving "strict" heed to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel undoubtedly brings peace.
Now, on a totally different note, I wonder where Korihor came from? It just says that he came into the land. Was ...
