I know this is obscure. I’m not trying to be elitist; I just couldn’t shake this idea. Don’t try too hard to figure it out. It’s not really very funny. I’ll just give one hint: I spent a lot of time this week reading one of the hugest, strangest, bestest festschrifts...

ICM
Islamic Contemporary Music was profiled recently in the NY Times. This line jumped out at me (where he says “music” I think you can safely read “pop music”): “People say you can’t mix God and music,” Tamer said. “But we’re trying to show you can.” Interestingly, the...
I See Where They’re Going with This!
AutoHotkey
One of my favorite little programs is AutoHotkey. You can write nearly any macro script you can think of to perform nearly any task you do often. I’ll give one example. I found that I was regularly having to find my tagged link for Amazon books, copy it, and paste it...

Preaching Ruts
I don’t preach incredibly often. Maybe an average of once or twice a month. But I still find that it’s easy to fall into ruts. I’ve been taught better, but my wheels still tend to press into the mud. I need help sometimes to see how wide the road is, how many biblical...
Boomerang for Gmail
If you’re not using Gmail for all your e-mailing needs, you should be. Gmail archives your messages instead of automatically trashing them. That means it keeps all your e-mails forever, so you won’t lose messages or addresses or file attachments. And if you need to...
