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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
