Social Dynamics of Mobility
Cars are wonderful things. Without them, life would be completely different. The mobility afforded to us by cars have allowed us to build towns and cities that would be otherwise impossible. The "convenience" store just around the corner can be ignored in favor of lower prices at a supermarket in the next town. As a result, local towns have ( Read more... ) -
Windows 7
I got my desktop computer in 2004, early in college, and it has served me well for over 7 years. I kept it running well, almost perfectly virus-free, occasionally upgrading it with a DVD burner, more RAM, new video card, extra HD, and more hefty power supply. Back in December the HD with the operating system stopped booting up. It was finals ( Read more... ) -
New Home, New Habits
As the title suggests, Becca and I have moved into a new apartment. It's the first place either of us have ever lived that isn't college/university/seminary housing or our parents' houses.

Eulogy

I didn't remember doing a word count before, cos I definitely thought it was half that number. But wow, that was an accomplishment. And it was a lot of fun at ( Read more... ) -
Ecclesiastical Networking
I've been visiting a starting church in Fitchburg - not too far from where I grew up, though an hour from where I live now - bringing music to lead in their monthly worship services ( Read more... ) -
Weekend + academic update
The positive spin: I've got a nice quiet weekend to myself wherein I can get a lot of homework done and also clean up some of this apartment ( Read more... ) -
Meandering through the transition week
Just came across this nifty Seminary Scholarship website. They've got a $1,000.00 scholarship and a digital theological library available, with a pretty simple application. I dunno how likely it is that I'll actually receive it, but it'd sure come in handy for paying for this last year at GCTS ( Read more... )
