This weekend was a big event in our family. Both of my boys got baptized. If you aren’t a Christian this probably means nothing to you. If you are you know it is probably the most important thing to happen in their lives. My wife and I grew up in the churches of Christ. One…

Fahrenheit 9/11 vs. The Passion
There has been a lot of hoopla around Fahrenheit 9/11,Michael Moore’s new movie released this weekend. The Monday morning press has consistently touted ” highest grossing documentary of all time”, which is true. But how did it do as a movie in general? Not all that great.

This year Laura Bush put forth her recipe for Oatmeal-Chocolate Chunk Cookies. How can you not like chocolate chip cookies, and these are big chocolate…
More tweaks
Spent some more time with Ruby this evening and wrote a script that parses the prefs file for NetNewsWire and generates and HTML version of the subscription hierarchy. So now my blogroll is hierarchical, like it is in my new reader. I also added some code to filter out folders or URLs whose name is…
