Download TiVo Recordings to your Mac

April 30, 2008

TiVo has been a great thing over the past year since we’ve had it. It’s been great to be able to watch the shows/movies we want on our own schedule without the commercials. While I was skeptical that we were actually saving any time when we first got TiVo (because there was so much more [...]

Diverse Readership

April 28, 2008

I know this blog has a pretty diverse readership: some people are coming here for my WordPress theme Cleaker (which has been downloaded about 18,724 times (if only I had charged $1/download), some are coming for emerging church stuff, others are friends who like the personal/random updates. So it’s always fun to hear about who [...]

Flying V Takes Ultimate Frisbee Championship

April 26, 2008

Today Princeton Seminary held the 2008 Ultimate Frisbee Intramural Playoffs. I’m on Flying V, and while we’ve had a lot of fun playing together this season, we haven’t won that many games. So I honestly thought we’d probably play one game (maybe two…) and then we’d be out. But that was far from what happened.
We [...]

Queer Messages Podcast

April 23, 2008

I’ve mentioned my friend Tony’s site before, Queer Messages. He runs it with Matt, and there are always some interesting things discussed on the site. Recently, there’s been a lot of political banter, probably because Tony is very pro-Hillary and Matt is very pro-Obama. They’re fun, very intelligent and great writers. They recently just started [...]

Andy Hunter°’s Colour: CD Giveaway

April 16, 2008

I was given a copy of Andy Hunter°’s new album, Colour, recently to review. The first time I heard of Andy Hunter°, I picked up a free CD of his entitled Exodus at the first Emergent Convention (actually, since they were freebies at one of the General Sessions, I think I picked up about 30 [...]

Whiffle Ball, Haikus and BBQ

April 15, 2008

I had a wonderful birthday party yesterday - started out with whiffle ball, a great game! I didn’t do so bad if I do say so myself, hitting at least two home runs, I think. We played whiffle ball for awhile, then started up the grills, hung out with lots of friends, and had a [...]

Tillich on the Church

April 14, 2008

I’ve been reading (or rather, supposed to be reading) lots of Tillich for my Tillich course this spring. But rest assured that over the next two weeks I’ll be reading skimming a lot of Tillich to put together my journals for the class. But for my film class, we had to read some from Tillich’s [...]

I’m that Guy

April 13, 2008

Today is my birthday, and I’ve officially entered my late-twenties: 28. There was some debate last year about what the 27th birthday signified, and I argued that 27 was still considered late-mid-twenties. But now I must fully embrace my late-twenties. And I’m okay with that - I know it’s not really that old, but…still, even [...]

BGLASS at Princeton Theological Seminary

April 12, 2008

High Res version here
The above photo is from the last day of BGLASS Week ‘08 at Princeton Theological Seminary. Princeton is a funny place sometimes; depending on where you’re from in the country or where you’re at on the theological spectrum, people think very different things about Princeton Seminary. “Liberals” think that Princeton is the [...]

Take This Bread: A Review

April 10, 2008

I just finished reading Sara Miles’s “Take This Bread” last night. I always love reading spiritual memoirs, and this one is great - very much in the spirit of Anne Lamott’s “Traveling Mercies.” Miles’s conversion is very similar to Lamott’s, who just happened to find herself in a church one day. While Miles wasn’t under [...]
