Month: February 2005

  • Photo of the Week

    misc/i_beat_anorexiaI’ve decided to start doing a “photo of the week” to find the best of the photos I see in a week. I’m starting off with one I saw a few months ago, but recently appeared elsewhere today, and wanted to share it. I will do my best to give attribution to the photographer, and […]

  • Yankee or Dixie

    Find out whether you’re a Yankee or Dixie on this easy quiz. It’ll take you 5 minutes to get through, and you’re learn some interesting regional terms and pronounciations. I’m 45% Yankee (“Barely Yankee”). (via Palm Tree Pundit and The Paragraph Farmer.)

  • Microsoft’s Guide to Being Cool

    Microsoft has posted a guide to “133t5p33k” (aka “elite-speak”). Now, you parents can understand why Johnny keeps saying that the IRS has o\/\/n3d you. It totally rox0rs, d00d! (via Slashdot)

  • Bible Link Test

    I added a new plugin that will automatically link scripture references to The Bible Gateway. Below are a couple tests to see if they link up correctly. Romans 1 1 John 1:1 1Tim 3:16

  • The Narrower Catechism

    This is good for a laugh. I’m sure this’ll upset a few friends and one or two relatives, but it’s still pretty danged funny. Without further ado, here is The Semi-Pelagian Narrower Catechism. 32. Q: What is baptism? A: Baptism is the act whereby, by the performance of something that seems quite silly in front […]

  • Baby Name Tool

    This is a pretty neat tool I found out there. It’s an interactive java tool showing name trends over the last century. Turns out my name is on the decline, but Aiden and Micah seem to be trendy. I hate being trendy.

  • Upgraded Blog Software

    WordPress released version 1.5. I have a psychological need to run the latest version of any software, so I upgraded. Now I need to move over the custom stuff I had on the old version. As it is, the site is functional, but generic. I’m also typing with one hand because I have a baby […]

  • New Baby Boy!

    album10/IMG_0244Awesome! Micah Stephen Albrecht introduced himself to our family this evening. Both Sarah and baby are doing just fine. Sarah was amazing! We got to the hospital at 5:30, and she started experiencing heavy labor around 6:15. Micah was born 77 minutes later, at 7:33pm. Here are the stats for those who keep track of […]

  • Mmm… Italian Pork

    misc/item_cheesesteakI didn’t know until very recently that Philadelphia has two sandwiches vying for official Philly sandwich. Of course, one is the Philly Cheesesteak, that wonderful, greasy sandwich made from steak sliced thin and fried up on a griddle, and covered with Cheese Whiz, fried onions, and maybe some sauted mushrooms and peppers, and all served […]

  • It’s For Your Own Good!

    The Fare Inspectors tried to prevent me from taking photos under threat of citation. When I refused to stop, they tried to cite me but couldn’t find any relevant code, regulation or law to cite me. Enlisting the aid of the SFPD and BART Police officers also yielded now results. No citation was issued. An […]

  • The Businessman

    Another parable blatently stolen from Doug Wilson: Once there was a man who would not write anything down. This was only a mild nuisance when it came to things like grocery lists, but it was a significant problem in his extensive business dealings. He would make agreements, as he put it, “the way his grandpappy […]

  • Kate’s Bridal Shower

    BridalShower/IMG_0233Kate’s bridal shower was this afternoon! Great Grandma Trudy, Becky, Liz, Diana, Tabitha and I all rode up together. The winding and bumpy roads failed to put me into labor, and we listened to “Disney Princess” songs the whole way there for Tabitha’s sake. She was upset that we were taking grandma’s car and not […]

  • Central Carolina Also Speaks

    Following close on the heels of the actions of the Mississippi Valley Presbytery, Central Carolina Presbytery has passed the following motion:

  • More from Mississippi

    More quality discernment from our Mississippi brethren: Additionally, leading pastor-theologians in the Reformed and evangelical world have raised concerns over the unbiblical and anti-confessional views of the NPP, NTW, NS and the AAT/FV theologies. Sinclair Ferguson, Al Mohler, Doug Kelly, Don Carson, Rick Phillips, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Cal Beisner, Frank Barker and more have […]

  • Lines Being Drawn

    Mississippi Valley Presbytery has unanimously adopted this study (WARNING: PDF) of the Ad Hoc Committee on the “New Perspective on Paul”, “Federal Vision”, and Norman Shepherd. Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church has written up a response to the report, which the MVP notes in it’s final version of their report as adopted. UPDATE: Joel Garver has […]
