Video Saturday

In an attempt to lighten up on Saturdays, I’ll attempt to publish some videos that I have seen that I think are fascinating or fun.  I hope that you enjoy them.

Microsoft Has a New Search Engine

Just when you thought Google had it all sewn up, Microsoft is still attempting to come up with an answer to Google and to try to get in on Google’s millions making search engine.

Who Are Your Friends?

We live in an interesting age.  I don’t know how many times friends from my high school want to e-mail or contact me—if only I’ll pay cash to talk to them, or at least that’s what Classmates.com wants me to believe. We used to be able to move on from place to place, keeping in [...]

Highlighting

Time is precious.  As you may have noticed, my new job and the coming spring and summer months along with the inability to find a “groove” and continuing to build the increasingly popular Is This Modest? blog has meant that I haven’t had the time that I would like to write here on politics, current [...]

I Am Here, Just Not As You Expect…

Life.  It has a way of constantly changing the rules on a person.  Once you think that you’ve figured out a routine, or that you’re going to do things a specific way, things don’t go that way. I believe that God gets a chuckle out of our planning and strategy.

Finding a Home For Your Blog

As some of you know, I’m starting a redesign for my daughter blog1, Is This Modest.  One of the interesting things during this process is realizing that that blog may eventually become bigger than this one, and starting to think through whether the current hosting situation I have will be able to expand as my [...]

A Little Housekeeping

Seriously, I haven’t been AWOL, I’ve just been a little busy, but I figure I owe a little explanation and update.

Comments Don’t Seem to Work for IE Users – FIXED!

I’ll spare you all the “you should be using a real browser” lecture for right now, and just let you know: I’ve tried to post a comment to my latest post in IE7, and I got stuck on the wp-comments.php page. Right now, I don’t know whether it’s a WordPress bug, an IE7 bug, or [...]

The Best of 2008

It’s that time again.  Time to look back at 2008 and see how the Lord blessed:

Freelancing and Web Hosting

November 14th is my last day of work.  In preparation for this, I’ve started to look at the options for what I can do to make money and put food on the table.  Along with job hunting, I’ve been researching freelancing opportunities, and one of the things that I’ve found is that there are some [...]

Change is in the Air

The human experience is full of change.  Nothing is consistent and nothing is guaranteed.  Some parents wish that their children would never grow up, because at each stage of life there’s something new and unique to enjoy.  People enter and leave our lives at various times, and try as we might we are not able [...]

It’s In The Pictures

Almost every post that I’ve done for the last year has had a photo attached to it.  As one of the Quick Reviewer at Is This Modest?, part of my job is to look through images and judge whether they’re modest. Photography conveys emotion.  It conveys feeling.  It’s an art-form. A good photographer can make [...]

Is Your Blog Mobile?

One of the neat things about technology is that it never stays put.  As hardware and software innovates into smaller spaces and more powerful applications, we get to take information with us anywhere. This is both a blessing and a curse.  A blessing in that what we want to know when we want to know [...]

How Would You Rate Your Web Host?

If you were to sit down and write a list of the things that you’d think that would make a good web host, what would make your list? Would good web hosting include… A Good Price? A Good Help Desk? A Certain Set of Features? High Bandwidth? High Disk-space? Many Positive Recommendations? What order would [...]

What Is That File Stored On My Computer?

I had a problem.  This past spring when I upgraded my computer I noticed that there were some files that did not get copied over from my old one to my new one—and some were copied more than once. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that the empty folders were ones that contained photographs [...]
