The Leader

Posted on July 10, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , , |

Margaret Feingold, author of the Organic God, dropped a short note on her Facebook account today. It’s an old joke – S. I. McMillen, in his book None of These Diseases, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the [...]

Washington on the Brazos

Posted on April 18, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , , |

I’m a wee bit sunburned. You know the drill; a) go outside, b) get burned, c) reflect that sunscreen would have been a good idea. At least, those are the steps if you’re a guy. Women tend to reflect on the sunscreen part first. We spent the day last Saturday at Washington-on-the-Brazos Texas State Park [...]

Unfinished Todos

Posted on March 31, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , , , , |

Along with last week’s post about categorizing people, another anomoly with carrying a PDA is that whatever goes on your todo list stays on your todo list. Forever. Unlike an unreliable brain that has that convenient ability to forget, a PDA never forgets. (I was going to make an analogy between a PDA and an [...]

Categorizing People

Posted on March 27, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

I was idly going through the contacts on my handheld PDA the other day while returning from a business trip, and I decided I needed a better system to file people. I have roughly 400 people in my PDA under the following categories: 65 “Business – Home” 130 “Business – Work” 30 “Faith” 150 “Personal” [...]

Plaxo

Posted on March 6, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff, Technical | Tags: , , , |

Do you use Plaxo? I’ve been using it for years and generally been happy with it. The feature that originally drew me to it was that I could send somebody a link and they could update my address book. Instead of replying to my email and then me cutting and pasting into my Outlook, they [...]

Muse

Muse. I need a good muse. I spent so much traveling time at the end of last year, I just couldn’t really take the time to post anything. On the road it’s hard enough since internet access and free time is limited. When I got back, I sort of decompressed and didn’t write anything. Just [...]

Naked DSL

Posted on January 21, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff, Technical | Tags: |

Actually, I’ve never heard it called “Naked DSL.” This is the choice of getting DSL without the accompanying land line. I’ve heard it called “Dry Loop.” Naked DSL sounds too risqué. My favorite part of the article is this: The San Antonio-based telecommunications giant had feared customers would ditch their phone lines in favor of [...]

I Just Remembered

Posted on January 7, 2008. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , |

I just remembered I had a blog. This one. I have a bible study to post, probably tomorrow. It’s on the Tower of Babel. Work. Travel. Study. Same old. Perhaps some blogging inspiration will come to me soon.

Feverish Dreams

Posted on November 29, 2007. Filed under: Personal Stuff | Tags: , , , |

I’m a little under the weather. Whatever *that* phrase means. Aren’t I always under the weather? I came down with a cold or flu right after wearing those colonial clothes in my last post. Nothing major; sniffles, running nose, occasionally cough. My eyes burn and my scalp is tender. I may have a low grade [...]
