We've Moved!

This blogspot blog will no longer be updated. I have moved everything to my new Wordpress Blog on my own server.

Cya there!

Hmm... not much to say when you're high above the Mucky-muck

Life goes on and there's just not a whole lot to blog about right now.

My sister just turned 20 on the 30th and Aaron has beamed away to Israel. I got to see Max & Jenny's house, which I think is quite nice, while we interviewed them for the forthcoming "special thing" that someone I know is putting together.

I really did get an iMac, in case you didn't know, and yes, it is a good thing. Now I have 3 functioning computers running Windows XP (NOT Vista), Linux (Ubuntu), and Mac OS X (10.5). So no one can call my opinions uninformed anymore... unless they are running BSD or something.

Here's some iSight fun to prove it:











If you made it this far, I applaud you.

2007 in Revyoo

Just a quick video remembering some of the highlights of 2007. I mention Max & Jenny's wedding in there because it was sort of the climax of 2007 for me, even though it was technically 2008.

Thanks for reading and have a great 2008!

Christmas is now Underrated

Merry Christmas everyone!

And as my gift to myself, and you (if you appreciate it), is my first song in mp3! I don't think I will continue using this service, but I had to at least get ONE song online before the New Year. Can you imagine what people would say otherwise?

Enjoy. Let me know what you think about the song. I will try to do the next one multi-track so you can hear my voice better. (remember, this is just a one track demo... so don't expect too much!)

Underrated

Sometimes I think that this life is overrated
cause everything's the same
today it's all been rearranged but the same at the core
nothing really changed

I need something new to breathe
I need something new to breathe

Well, if that's the way it's got to be
then maybe the change should be in me
if there's a way to break monotony
it's walking away from what I used to be
over and over again
over and over again

I see that look in their eyes but what can I do
I'm just a link in the chain
I know that I should really care, it should break my heart
but I can't feel past my pain

Sometimes I think that this life is overrated
but maybe it's just me

Bless the Lord and enjoy your families tomorrow :).

Funny, yet horrible :)

eBible - The Best Online Bible

To date, I have not found anything that can match the power of the Blue Letter Bible for research. Though it is ugly and not good for reading, it's probably the most useful tool for studying meanings and translation.

In fact, most online Bible's are not good for reading, which I think is sad. At least I was sad until this morning!

eBible.com

eBible does include good search, tagging, and commentary tools, but what I like most is the simple streaming interface it uses. In "study" mode (just click the magnifying glass to turn it on), it has pleasant, readable, text that is not cluttered with countless notes and numbers and scrolls forever. There is no scroll bar or bottom of the page and it even features a parralel mode if you'd like to compare two translations.

Although it won't be replacing the Blue Letter Bible for studying particular passages, I think it will become one of my favorite casual reading Bibles. Very nice!
