Welcome!

Thanks for vis­it­ing my new web­site! I like to write, take pic­tures, design things, and break fix com­put­ers. I used to have a lot of web­sites and I would post dif­fer­ent things to each of them. This web­site is my way of cre­at­ing one place where I can post every­thing. Even­tu­ally, I even intend to put my design port­fo­lio here.

What Do You Blog About?

I blog about all sorts of things. My inter­ests include the­ol­ogy, pho­tog­ra­phy, graphic and web design, telling funny sto­ries, mak­ing short films, com­put­ers, phones, and a host of other things that I’ve prob­a­bly for­got­ten to men­tion. You can expect that I’ll even­tu­ally blog about every­thing here.

Why Do You Blog?

That’s a great ques­tion. I haven’t really got a good answer. I imag­ine that some peo­ple might find the things I write about help­ful, oth­ers might sim­ply find cer­tain things (like pic­tures) enter­tain­ing, and still more will like the oppor­tu­nity to prove me wrong on issues of the­ol­ogy. I do a lot of writ­ing in my free time, so it just made sense to me to put my writ­ings online where peo­ple could read it and inter­act with me about it.

Something’s Bro­ken…

You’re prob­a­bly right. I designed this site myself and I’ve been in the process of slowly cod­ing and debug­ging it. I released the site before every­thing was done because I wanted peo­ple to have access to cer­tain things (espe­cially the “Giv­ing the Sense” sec­tion). Some things will just break on cer­tain browsers because I for­got to test them. Some parts of the site just aren’t fin­ished, so you’ll get “Page not found” errors. If you find a prob­lem, do please con­tact me about it.

Please note, though, that I haven’t really done any test­ing on Inter­net Explorer ver­sion 8 or ear­lier. If you are using Inter­net Explorer at all, I would sug­gest switch­ing to some­thing like Chrome or Fire­fox. They are both much faster than Inter­net Explorer and just tend to work better.

Any Ground Rules for Commenting?

Just one: “be nice.” I will inevitably blog about some­thing con­tro­ver­sial and you may end up dis­agree­ing. That’s fine. Just remem­ber that the per­son you are argu­ing with—be it me or some­one else—is still a human being made in the imago Dei1 and deserves your respect… regard­less of how stu­pid I might be.

What Fonts Did You Use?

I’m so glad you asked. The head­ings are done in Adobe Caslon Pro and the body text is done in Museo. I use Type­kit to embed them.
