Your search for “people”

I, Erasmus

What theologian am I? Apparently I am Desiderius Erasmus: You have great love for others and will do just about anything to show it to them. You are tolerant and avoid confrontations, so people generally are drawn to you. You are more quiet and reserved in front of strangers, but around some people you open […]

Goodbye, Tiff. Hello, loneliness.

I have lost her heart. This morning we talked, and I realized that I must come to terms with how changed things are. I must stop clinging to the futile hope that things can be as they were before. We are different people, and I do not think we can come together again. Please pray […]

Removable Storage Options

Brief guide to removable storage options, link via Gizmodo. One of my classmates has a 128MB USB keychain drive, and it works like a charm; popping up as a new drive on the desktop as soon as it’s plugged in. Handy.

More on Rebecca Brown

I just received a comment to an older entry about “Dr. Rebecca Brown” and the dangers of her books on Satanism and curse theology. After my links to The Bizarre Case of Rebecca Brown, and the clear proof of her dangerous mental instabilities, the commenter says that he prefers to continue believing in her, and […]

James, Son of Joseph, Brother of Jesus

“Ya’akov bar Yosef akhui di Yeshua.” I don’t think the discovery of this inscription is quite as sensational an archaeological find as the media is making it out to be, but it’s an interesting bit nonetheless, further corroborating with the Protestant — and early Christian — tradition that Saint James was indeed Jesus’ younger brother. […]

Sniper News Network

Until the DC-area sniper is caught, I propose that CNN be renamed Sniper News Network. We’re concerned about the murders, and we feel for the victims and their families, but I feel like the media is trying to whip us all into a panicked frenzy. People are emailing or texting me, asking if I’m okay; […]

Zamboanga Bombing

Hot on the heels of the Bali bombing, two bombs exploded in two separate shopping complexes in Zamboanga, Southern Philippines, killing at least five and injuring over a hundred. Seven more bombs were reportedly found and defused. The people killed were not combatants or soldiers; they had nothing to do with Islamic separatists or any […]

Of Evlovers and Pyrafans

Ever since Blogger got famous, and more so when they broke up and Jack Saturn wrote his letter, I’ve been curious about the politics, personalities, romance, and drama behind the whole Pyra affair. I briefly IM’d with Matt about it once, but I certainly didn’t want to seem like I was prying for gossip. Today, […]

Quaoar?

No offense intended to the Tongva people, but I wish scientists could have come up with a slightly more pronounceable name for the new planetoid on the block. “Quaoar” is such an open-mouthed wa-wa kind of name. Oh well, I suppose it’s better than “Uranus.” MeFi commentary.

DC Area Murders

Whoa, I hadn’t been aware that the shootings in DC were getting so much attention. Now it starts to sound more worrisome than when I first read it in the news: murmurs of terrorism are in the air. And not 9-11 planes-and-buildings terrorism, but smaller, “grassroots” type ambushes, of the sort which could terrorize people […]
