Tired of stupid radio?

If you're sitting in front of your computer and want to listen to great music, you can always download a desktop radio from www.winamp.com. I listen to boombasticradio out of London. Great soul, jazz, reggae, afrobeat, hiphop, latin, etc. you can find their radio station on the winamp radio website, or just go directly to www.boombasticradio.com. Another good one is SomaFM for downtempo groove.

English Churches on the Edge

Quite often I'm excited by the possibilities presented by the "emerging church." So that I don't forget them, and so that the reader can have a quick link too--I'm just going to keep track of the links when I come across them by posting them here. From what I understand, that is one of the original purposes of blogs anyway.... so here's one. hOME Oxford, UK
In case you're wondering, no Wesley G. yet. Maybe the luck o' the Irish will bring him along soon.

Do you like to screw with your mind?

I've viewed this okay without installing the Japanese, so just push cancel after that prompt comes up. But if you want to install Japanese, gonahedndoit. Optical Illusions

Learning

I've been learning a lot lately about html--hopefully the reader can see that on the improvements to my sidebar. One cool thing I found out is that if you are in exploerer, you can view any website's "code" by clicking "source" under "view." Basically, I just cut and paste other people's efforts into my sidebar, then changed the links to fit what I'm interested in. I won't be able to be very faithful to this blog for the next week, as we are expecting the birth of Wesley G. any day now, and I'm more focused on that. When we have W.G., you can expect some nice deleriously truthful blogs on the meaning of life from a new dad's perspective.

Things I hate

1. Those few people who slow down to rubberneck at something asinine on the side of the road and cause the flow of traffic to get backed up for hours.
2. "Extreme" being thrown into marketing something so that it will appeal to GenX or Millenials
3. Cowboy presidents
4. Faking
5. People who watch a movie with you and then bitch about all the things they thought the film director did wrong or what their acting experience informs them is wrong with how the actors in the movie performed.
6. The phrase "USA, USA, USA!"
7. Not having anyone volunteer to help me get a community garden going on my seminary campus.
8. "I'm really busy." --Who isn't?
9. Pie
10. Not being able to find a mechanic you can trust.
11. Us magazine
12. commercials on the radio
13. cynics who whine all the time ---ha, ha!
14. forgetting.
15. People who don't like Back to the Future
16. Back to the Future III
