Hat tip to Jeep who posted on this today. So funny! :)

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 see. Vocab [...]

This week I was promoted to Vice President of Production and Technology for Simply Retail, Inc., 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 so drunk with [...]

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.

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, and got [...]

It’s time for the long awaited Lord’s Supper post. OK, long awaited by myself and maybe one other guy.

Since they are apparently a politically right-leaning site, conspiracy theories flew and the apparent banning drew more attention. But it seems most likely they simply got caught doing a sneaky [...]

I used to be a huge fan of Caribou Coffee mochas. 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 travel mug. I had Caribou gift [...]

The flight went well. 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 needed to do de-icing. It was a cold, humid day. We’d received an inch [...]

OK, so I don’t even know how I ended up here, but it’s just too cool. “Overunity” is the idea that you get more energy out of a system that you put in. Normally, it’s equal (unity). It’s one of those holy grail ideas; if you can get more out of a system than you’re [...]
