XML/RSS is awesome
I just downloaded and installed NetNews Wire Lite. It is super-easy and fast. And it’s free. You add RSS feeds that want to receive updates from, and it let’s you scan news items very quickly. What a great example of XML in action! (RSS docs are specific kinds of XML docs) On that, I’m seriously…

Yeah, Baby!

Yooper Cooler
Mike Stafford (schooling up at Lake Superior State Univ. in Sault Ste. Marie) sent this photo. Thought it was funny, so I’m posting it. I grew up in the U.P., for those who didn’t know.

“Everybody get together, try to love one another, right now”
“If church is run as a business or corporation, it ceases to be a family. But if church truly is a family, we not only will support one another, we will confront one another. Otherwise, there is little accountability.” -Glenn Kaiser For those who don’t know, Glenn Kaiser is the main talker from the Rez…
