By now, most everyone has had something to say on the “Under God” Pledge Ruling, so anything I say from either conservative or liberal lobe of my brain will probably be a redundancy. I’m a Baptist, and one of our foundational statements of faith is the separation of church and state: government should not dictate […]
Just doing some tweaking and cleaning in the background, and am also trying to figure out mod_rewrite and trailing slashes with the help of the ultimate mod_rewrite guide. Via Doug, a letter from a gay Christian, and the response. Personally, I am perfectly willing to embrace gay and lesbian church members as fellow brothers and […]
Nice to see Seb blogging again, with profound — and occasionally profane — reflections from the guy who first mused that dirt entering oysters turns into pearls, but when it enters people, it turns into boogers. Now is also your chance to see what Krissy looks like. Aaaww! :)
Some people sure go to a lot of effort to prove that the Ewoks are all dead. See more Star Wars Technical Commentaries for your nitpicking pleasure.
Blood and gore in the Manila headlines today: violence broke out between “Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association” cultists and the policemen who came to arrest their leader. Here’s the PBMA website, those of you who are interested. Lots of suspicious overlaps between a twisted idea of Christianity and New Age guruism: “The story of the Philippine […]
Raffy tells me that Index 37‘s blog column was getting bumped below the sidebar in IE5/Mac. I’ve attempted to rectify the error with another “clear: left” property on the blog DIV, but having no access to a Mac, I can’t verify that it has worked. Any IE5/Mac users want to check it for me? (I’m […]
We’re used to font-sizes not getting carried into table cells, so that when coding CSS for tables-based layouts, designers declare font-sizes separately for the body and td tags. That seems to have changed with Mozilla 1.x. For example, with the stylesheet… body { font-size: smaller } td { font-size: smaller } … one would expect […]
It always amuses me how “spiritual” folk go on and on about how they hate “organized religion,” without bothering to consider that worship of God among the religious cannot but be organized in some way or another. (Link, by the way is from Remora Remora, a blog which happily picks the cliches from our linguistic […]
[Followup: Updates here, two years later.] “Miss Kris10” here thinks mission trips are a “crock,” while at the same time she claims to be a Christian. (No relation, by the way, to this kris10, who is on hiatus.) Pardon me, “PassTheDutchie,” but missionaries do not do the backbreaking work they do in third world countries […]
Kablog! Possibly the most bitin article on blogging I’ve ever read. While he does an okay job of defining what a blog is, he doesn’t even link to available blog tools and resources for his readers’ benefit. On the upside, he does mention Lia and the BBox people. (And himself, which by the way is […]
