Click, Click, Click… Crash

My hard drive died on Friday. Friday morning I was using my PowerBook for email and web while waiting for my tower to do work. Suddenly it started making this click, click, click sound. It didn’t sound at all good so I shut the thing down. I was going that direction anyway so I decided … Read more

Follow-Ups

I’m A Bad Boy: Google had sent me an email explaining that my account was disabled and why. It landed in my JUNK folder which is why I didn’t see it until a day or so later. The Evangelicals: If you read Dan Kimball’s article that was linked in ‘The Evangelicals’ then you’ll probably want … Read more

FilmLoop

Guy Kawasaki is touting a new application called FilmLoop. The company developing FilmLoop is one of Garage.com’s latest children. Guy Kawasaki is one of their directors. Guy wants FilmLoop to be successful. FilmLoop is an interesting concept but, in my opinion, flawed in its implementation on one major point and one related minor point. FilmLoop … Read more

I’m a Bad Boy!

You’ll notice that the Google AdSense section of my sidebar has been removed. That is because I’m a bad boy. It should have been obvious. It started to dawn on me this weekend. It is interesting that Google sorted out what I was doing even as I was figuring out that what I was doing … Read more

The Simple Things

My daughter went off to camp for the weekend yesterday. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not glad to see her gone, not in the least. However, I know that she have a great time. I also know that she be glad to be out and away from home for a few days. I’m glad … Read more

Numerous discussions about the church, Christians, Christ, non-Christians, evangelism and sundry related issues. Recurrent in these conversations is the concept of evangelism. In most case, evangelism means “telling others about Christ,” at least in the … Read more

The Economy of the Web

I think we seldom stop to think through, how does anyone make money on the web. Typically, we think of the web as free information, freely distributed. Yahoo, Google, flickr, MySpace – we tend to think of all of these as free services. Yet, there are large corporations behind some of them and there are … Read more

New Year, New Start?

The new year. Many of us reflexively review the past and contemplate where we’ll be at the end of the year that has just started. Some people set new year’s resolutions. Some people set goals for the new year. I’ve never been a big one for resolutions and I am general not a goal oriented … Read more

Web 2.0, Online Community, Cyber-Village…

So, the latest craze (of 2005 and running into 2006) is online communities. The number of them is incredible. I’m sure I don’t know that half of it. Most of them are ‘community’ for the sake of community with no overtly stated purpose other than a place to hang out online. Others seem to try … Read more

MovableType, Plug-Ins and Way too much time.

Spent most of today geeking out. Installed MovableType plug-ins and then altered the page to take advantage of them. It was a good learning experience. I also got the Portfolio page over on the Tako Productions page put together and working. There are a couple of short clips over on that page to look at, … Read more
