New Church Members?
A week ago Sunday, we had a couple guys in our church stand before the congregation and answer the “membership questions” that our pastor asks all new church members.

Money Where Your Mouth Is
misc/3mmoneyglassHere’s putting your money where your mouth is. 3M has created an ad in a bus stop advertising their security glass. It’s not all cash, but the top and bottom of each stack are $20 bills, so there is still a significant amount of change. Regardless, I think it’s just a great ad. (via 37 […]

15 Feet of Snow
We got about an inch or two of snow last night. Nothing major, with just a little accumulation. Compare that to India’s portion of Kashmir, which this past weekend received 15 feet of snow! Avalanches in Kashmir have killed at least 42 people after six more bodies were recovered on Monday, officials said, as the […]

Homskoolerz
misc/639lsAh, the old “abuse masquerading as homeschooling” argument has reared it’s proverbial ugly head again, this time in the form of a political cartoon. Jon Swerens, my new hero, has written up an appropriate response.

Federal Vision Repository Online
Grace Fellowship Church is now posting and editing a repository of documents dealing with the Federal Vision and the New Perspective on Paul, and it’s “encroachment… in the Presbyterian Church in America“. Some of the editorial comments on the site are less than charitable, but it’s nice to have all the documents handy. (via the […]

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 […]
