Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy

admin | September 2, 2009

I’m not into wrestling or wrestling movies, but I wish I could see this movie when it shows at MU. I helped dismantle (read: destroy/demolish) the set for this movie that was shot in an attic space in the College of Engineering. It was a fun couple weeks of work. Now that space is the [...]

A New Low

The following comes to you through Pastor Heath Curtis and was posted at a blog he participates in at Four and Twenty+ Blackbirds. I thought this was something that all church workers and members should see. Original post here.

ForkLift: A Review

admin | May 23, 2009

One of the key features of Mac OS X is the finder. As you use the OS your life pretty much revolves around the finder. It provides you with folder and program access and you can do many things through the finder (deleting files, creating smart folders, etc). As much as I love the OS [...]

My adiaphora are better than your adiaphora

Sam | May 21, 2009

The phrase “adiaphora” gets thrown around in the church more than a baseball in July. Everyone spouts it off. It doesn’t matter… it’s adiaphora… blah blah adiaphora blah. W
Adiaphora does matter. I point you toward this article by one of my professors, Dr. Charles Arand (PDF File: Page 48). The title of the article is [...]

Welcome to the new Nerd Heaven

I finally took the time to [...]
