Forrest and I have decided that our children have pretty much hijacked our blogs, so while we’ll continue to blog our family and miscellaneous stuff here, we’ve set up a separate blog for sacramental theology and piety at Medicine of Immortality
I can think of a few of you who may be interested in posts that are set to private but may not have an account. If you are one of those people, let me know and I can give you clearance to access private posts (if I want to, that is 
).
Update: If we don’t know you (i.e you’re a Reformed lurker from Russia or Albania), you should probably send us an email at i_like_elves at yahoo.com, so we can know who you are!
ETA: I keep changing my mind…I probably will keep most posts public and only set occasional posts to private, so yeah. 
I have been using Buzzword for a few weeks now, and I have found a couple of things I don’t like.
1.) Transfer of documents. You would think they would make an option to upload documents.
2.) Organization. If you have hundreds of papers and can’t recall the name of the paper, you’re going to have problems.
3.) Footnotes. It converts all my footnotes to endnotes, which is just, blah.
4.) PDF creation. I think now that Adobe bought Buzzword, they will add that option…I hope.
This is a fascinating look at technology today and in the future.
For some reason, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw last week’s SNL Digital Short making fun of dramatic movie deaths. If it doesn’t make you hate Hollywood, you have no hope. I see the video has been pulled from most sites, probably because of this week’s happenings. I’m sure it will be up again soon.
John C. Wright has a great post about being a scientist today:
This is how the funding process works:
1. You determine what the latest ‘hot’ topic is (global warming, ceramic superconductivity, stealth technology).
2. You write your proposal to fund the work you’ve been doing for years in your area but you slant it towards the hot topic.
3. You almost “prove” that the above hot topic is effected in a way that is positive toward your research.
4. You write a follow-on proposal where you state that the really big break-through will occur in the next funding cycle.
5. Oh, and you try to partner with entities that always get government funding.
While we are mentioning global warming, I think I might add someone’s thoughts on the recently belated Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut is one of those guys that I read and just think, “Wow. I need to read more of him.” He was an insightful heathen.
Do y’all with access to private posts stay logged in all the time?
Well, I was fully intending to post pictures since I’d gotten some comments, but now they’re not uploading for me… hopefully I’ll have the problem fixed soon.
Well, I still need to resize some of the pics, and give this blog a title again, but hey, I kinda like it.
I have come to the realization that I will probably never change the books on the side, but they add color.
I also bug Jake Joiner, and then I bug Joel Garver for non-blog computer stuff like trying to format Word documents or my work homepage. So thank you all for being nerdier than me.
