Made It

Arrived in South Carolina after 10 hours of driving. My parents et al are still stuck in traffic, having left OH shortly after we did (stopped for dinner in Mt. Vernon, but still). I’m very glad we made it.
Google Maps took us all up and around some back roads that said something to the effect […]

Mr. & Mrs. Timothy W. Bergey

Married!

Wedding Rehearsal Day

Too late to write much tonight.
Suffice to say the wedding rehearsal went well, the lasagna and walnut pound cake was awesome, and after we bought a new cooler and 44 lbs of ice in which to put all the leftovers, it fell out of the car onto Mom’s toe. Yeah, the very same one in […]

Concrete

Today my family (parents + siblings remaining at home) was in a minor car accident. Fortunately, there were only minor injuries.
Apparently, a 4-inch-ish piece of concrete struck the windshield of their van while they were traveling to Ohio for my brother’s wedding on Saturday. The glass cut my mom’s arms all up, and the projectile […]

New Theme: Oulipo

Changed my WordPress theme to Oulipo by Andrea Mignolo. I like it because it has nice typography and is still rather minimalist.
I’ve played with some similar ideas over the months/years, but could never seem to get anything together. I don’t have time to make a complete WordPress theme these days anyway.
You might need […]

Desktop Pictures for Stacked Displays

These days I set my laptop directly below my 20” display, which is set up on some books. I really like the setup, as I don’t have to move my head around to interact with the second display; I can just glance down or straight ahead.
I can’t find any nice desktop pictures, though … all […]

Reggy on Bodega

My friend Sam made something helpful a couple of years ago. I still use it from time to time to test regular expression matching.

Now Reggy is on Bodega, your new corner store for Mac apps. Check ‘em both out.

You're Doing It Wrong

If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I’m a better Christian than {$person} because I …”
- have a daily “quiet time”
- have certain dress standards
- speak in tongues
- don’t go to movies
- have been baptized
- don’t drink alcohol
- don’t listen to rock music
- never miss a church service
… then [you’re doing it wrong](http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/04/28/youre-doing-it-wrong-2/).
P.S. I used to […]

Spiritual Influences and Education

Some of my spiritual influences and education over the past two years:
- From Charlie Boyd I learned not to let anyone tell me I need to do anything special or extra to merit God’s favor or attention. Working overtime to “keep all the rules” is not only unnecessary, but dangerous. (See the entire book of […]

Three-way Computer Surgery

Spent most of today replacing the Power/Sound board in an old PowerBook for my brother Tim. As it happens, that’s the most involved sort of repair one can make on an Aluminum 1.5 Ghz, since you have to remove almost every other piece from the case before you can get to it.
Tim’s previous Mac, an […]
