"I Can't" ... Bah!
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... One thing which really irks me is when someone tells me "I can't", for whatever reason.
I'm not exactly sure, either, since there really are things which we cannot do, such as transmutate ourselves to become vultures. I don't believe I've ever met a person who has become a vulture, although, that would mean that he...

Elder Holland's Talk
PoeticIntensity
This morning I came to work rather ponderous, but not pondering anything in particular. I so enjoyed Elder Holland's talk this last Sunday that I went and downloaded it, watched it, and did about 4 hours of research into the Nicene Creed, which Elder Holland mentioned.
First, I must say, hearing Elder Holland's talk was... uhhh.... a...

FHE At The Jones House
PoeticIntensity
This post is mostly for my parents. (Hi Mom). I thought you'd enjoy hearing a night of FHE in the Jones residence. :)
There should be a little "play" button right below the mood panel in the upper right-hand corner of the journal detail page.
Enjoy....

I built this server 3 years ago, and it has been serving up everything that is served in my house (mythtv, web (this site), ftp, ssh, music, photos). Well...

Conference 1
PoeticIntensity
Brother Packer's talk about everyone in the church being the same, and no office being more important than the other was very inspirational to me this conference, along with Thomas S. Monson's talk about Sister Patton and the talk he gave in 1969 concerning her and the death of her son in the Navy.
I feel inspired as I sit here listening to the l...

Sony's Digital Rights?

I think I'm beginning to understand why I hate Sony so bad. Their stance on digital rights' management is absolutely astounding.
According to this article, Sony's cheif anti-piracy lawyer stated that "...making a copy of a purchased song is just a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'"
So, in a nutshell, Jennifer Pariser i...

MythTV Basement Home Theater

About 2 years ago I got this hairbrained idea to use mythtv to create a computer-based full-media center for my basement home theater. At the time, I had a sweet side-job which was paying me nicely, so I had the means to do pretty much exactly what I wanted.
I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...

Sunday morning, Luci came into our room, climbed up in our bed (Sarah and I were still half asleep in bed, as groggy as ever), and she started bouncing up and down while singing the "Green Speckled Frog" song.
Although I was still not aware of most the world around me, I thought her singing was quite cute. So about an hour later,...
