Greek 2 – ninth class

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Ugh. Second aorist. Sure, I get it, but all those *verbal roots*! I’m having a hard enough time with vocab, and now I find out I should have been memorizing not only the lexical form (1st person singular, present active indicative), but the roots, too! Oh well… I’ll get it. First aorist looks easier. We’ll [...]

Promotion!

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

[1]: http://www.simplyretailinc.com/ This week I was promoted to Vice President of Production and Technology for [Simply Retail, Inc.][1], and I will be going full time starting in April. (I’ve been four days a week until now.) Very exiting stuff! :) Co-workers emailed me congratulations, and I replied: “By the time I got home, I was [...]

Greek 2 – Eighth Class

Friday, March 17th, 2006

[1]: http://www.bbcmpls.org/ [2]: http://www.desiringgod.org/ It’s been a while since I blogged on my Greek class. I’ve been too busy to even do a thorough job on the homework let alone blog on it! The travel, the (thankfully now past) illness, and now this month I’m teaching Old Testament book overviews… lots going on.

Mambo

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

Not the dance; the CMS. I am setting up some sites using it, and as I dug in, I found some of the generated html code to be – as I described to my client – hideous. (Sorry Mambo guys… just not my style.) **But,** I hopped online and posted my woes to their forum, [...]

The Lord’s Supper – Part 1

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

It’s time for the long awaited Lord’s Supper post. OK, long awaited by myself and maybe one other guy. The Lord’s Supper – the wine and bread taken in remembrance of Jesus – is one of only two explicit Christian ordinances, the other being baptism. Jesus said specifically that we are to “do this in [...]

Google bans website? Probably not as evil as it seems.

They appear to have been banned by Google. Since they are apparently a politically right-leaning site, conspiracy theories flew and the apparent banning [drew more attention][1]. But it seems most [...]

The downfall of Caribou Coffee

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

I drank them for years. I shunned the offerings of others and learned where all the Caribous were on my various paths of travel. Fun decor. Usually nice staff. I have two Caribou thermoses (thermosi?) and a Caribou [...]

The family dropped my off and I skillfully navigated the security checkpoint. A pleasant change from last time’s minor fiasco of not being able to get my double-knotted shoes untied. We left a little late because [these creatures][1] needed [...]

Overunity

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

Normally, it’s equal (unity). It’s one of those holy grail ideas; if you can get more [...]
