Temple Worthiness
PoeticIntensity
Continuing in the tradition of weekly fasting, church this week was very enlightening. Sarah and I decided to go to a new "marriage and family" class instead of the usual gospel doctrine lesson, and I'm quite glad we made that decision.
Lately, temple worthiness hasn't meant much to me. There's more to that story, but that's...

Incredible Speech on Creativity
PoeticIntensity
A couple of days ago, I wrote a post about failure and innovation. I had just seen the movie "Meet The Robinson's" which is a movie all about creativity, failures, leaving the past behind you, and always looking forward.
Well... Orson Jones gave a pretty incredible link in the 1 comment in that post.

Is Linux Really More Secure?
PoeticIntensity
I've been using Linux now for long enough to have heard just about all the facts, opinions, babblings, and flame-wars about Linux security vs. Microsoft security.
*sigh*
It seems that every time I try to explain to people the added security inherent to Linux, they have all sorts of explanations why my explanations are bogus. Some of my ...

Failure and Innovation
PoeticIntensity
I saw a good movie the other day. It's called "Meet The Robinsons".
If you haven't seen it yet, and you like movies which actually have a moral (kind of tough to find now-a-days), I'd highly recommend it.
A specific part of the movie caught my attention and is the cause for this entry. The part basically consists of a li...

Steve Ballmer At His Best
PoeticIntensity
About a month ago, I came upon this video, which you simply must watch. It's basically a re-make of videos previously posted about a pretty animated Steve Ballmer (Microsoft's CEO) put to music, and hacked up beautifully.
At the time I watched it, I didn't think much of it. It was funny, and it was Steve Ballmer. Hooray.

Laws vs. Common Decency
PoeticIntensity
I just got done following this story and it's got me thinking about some of the problems we have in today's society.
I'm not quite as empassioned about this as I thought I would be, but rather, I find myself thinking about the problems caused by people's thoughtless actions.
Is it wrong to voice your opinion about your disgust at the military...

3 Nephi : 15
PoeticIntensity
From the beginning of this chapter, it's obvious that Christ means business when he makes covenants. Causing entire books to be written, and then keeping 100% of everything that is written means something.
I wonder why the people thought that Christ's coming "destroyed" the prophets? Interesting.
I love verse 9. &q...

After having killed one thousand and five of their own people, and having realized they didn't really want to be killing their own people, I imagine the anger of the Lamanites went to pretty extreme levels.

First Impressions : MXL V77

Since the studio's new shining star arrived, we've been having a lot of fun around here. To be honest, the guy who was good enough to sell us our new MXL V77, couldn't say enough about this microphone, which unfortunately is no longer in production, so when it arrived, I had my hopes up quite high - possibly too high.

1st Nephi : 12 - Beautiful Yet Horrible

I had forgotten that in this chapter, Nephi sees the Lord descend from heaven to the people who would be born from Nephi.
I put myself in his situation, and quite honestly , I have no idea how I would react. It would be so supremely surreal - seeing your kids' kids' kids' kids, and then seeing the Savior of the world show himself unto them....
