…Taking Todd up on his request.
It occurred to me the other morning that nothing has any value except that which an individual gives it. To some, this probably seems simplistic. For me, it was a minor revelation—perhaps even an epiphany. It was, in some sense, a recognition of perception in an area that I thought [...]
I really don’t understand this reaction any more than I understand that of those in the middle-east when they are “offended” by drawings. But, in spite of what this man did to the family members of a close-knit community, they responded with love and forgiveness.
Which group is more civilized? No “in-duh-viduals” rose up and protested [...]
Today was a strange day for me. Like the rest of the country, I spent considerable time pondering the event that changed the world five years ago. My first thought was that I can honestly say that five years ago, Allah changed my life. Until September 11th, 2001, I thought little of this god, though [...]
I’ve just described how I feel about the death of Steve Irwin. It was a freakish and undeserved event. Like local news, there always seems to be a related story.
A few weeks ago, my son and I went to John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. Entrance was free and we had a great time looking [...]
Sometimes life takes some really strange turns. Sometimes death takes even stranger ones. By now, you probably know that Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin is dead. He was stabbed in the heart by the tail of a stingray.
I always thought he’d get it from a crocodile. You probably did too. Instead, no, an unusual set of [...]
My first pass through Bushido by Inazo Nitobe has not been encouraging. Nitobe is said to be a Christian apologist. I’m afraid that his apologetic methods have been applied to Bushido. That is, the book seems to be less of a description of the code and more of an analysis of it. At times he [...]
Animusic looks pretty cool. Saw clips on PBS. Check it out!
The other day I purchased Bushido by Inazo Nitobe (1862-1933).
I bought it out of curiosity. Like most geeky kids, I was keen on the idea of the Jedi code of living. Later, when I heard it was strongly based on the code of the samurai, I thought that sounded cool too. It was only comparatively [...]
Todd and I had a discussion about the vulnerability of Microsoft products to viral attack. A recent announcement about a Trojan that impacts MS Word led me to this article.
There’s a lot in the article. But, I keyed in on the part that agrees with Todd’s observation that the likelihood of viral attack is directly [...]
I spent roughly four days setting up Windows Small Business Server 2003 for my father’s business. Frankly, I’m amazed it worked so well. I’m a computer software developer by trade; so naturally, I am a wizard at all things computer related. Just ask anybody in my family. I accepted the task with all the dignity [...]
