Five surprising things

March 16, 2011

Five surprising things (at least they were/are surprising to me) from the past year or so: 1. I’ve been on a real rollercoaster. 2. I like shrimp — as long as it isn’t served cold. 3. The second Marked by Love CD still hasn’t been (and cannot be) released yet. Soon though… 4. I actually [...]

Smokescreened fears

March 3, 2011

I promised myself I’d write something tonight. I have no grand illusions of it being well crafted or even well thought out. I would like to do more well thought out writing, employing more rigorous self-editing and/or peer-editing processes. But tonight, I simply write. That was the disclaimer. You have been warned. Fear is a [...]

When silence does not mean an absence of things to say

December 20, 2010

2010 is almost over. Once again, it has not been a big blogging year for me. I have written a couple of posts that I am very proud. That made it worth it. But wow, right now, overall, it just looks like I don’t have anything to say on here. But that’s not true at [...]

DVD stuck in your MacBook Pro?

October 5, 2010

So I managed to get a blank DVD stuck in the MacBook Pro recently. To get it out I had to (1) unlock it, and (2) unmount & eject. (1) It was trapped as part of a DVD data disc burn gone bad. :( Somehow in this process it got locked. To unlock it, I [...]

Connecting the dots

August 5, 2010

Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. [...]

Flake and Shake

August 1, 2010

The WOTD consistency flopped pretty quickly, didn’t it?  Honestly, I’m not a total flake.  The best post I had written for it, I actually never posted…. I love the idea, but I need to grow something different out of it I think. Some people might be wondering what the heck I’m doing on Facebook these [...]

WOTD: “Abide”

July 26, 2010

Yesterday’s Word of the Day was “Abide”. Taken from a favourite song (especially for Marked By Love to sing…) verse one of “Take Time To Be Holy” reads: Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word. Make friends of God’s children, help those who [...]
