Life in the ER or: How I spent last Thursday
Since I jumped off the cliff in the Bahamas I’ve been in varying amounts of pain. It’s usually centered in the muscles in my back and occasionally in my lower ribs. Sometime last week, maybe Tuesday, the pain started moving up my body. Strange? Yes. By Wednesday evening the pain was centered in the upper-center [...]

I’m a slow reader
One thing I love about the local library system is that I can check stuff out online and then they send it to me for free. It usually takes a week or two to send the book out, but it’s free so I wait.
A while back I had the library send me Jimmy Buffett’s Where [...]
Mission Tripping in the Bahamas: A Retrospective
One of the perks of my job is that I get to travel all over the place in service for others. This is the biggest focus of our youth ministry since God has called us to do just that (check out Matthew 25). Last week I was able to travel with our 11th and 12th [...]

Summertime… and the living’s easy!
Yesterday was Memorial Day and while it’s a day where we take time out to remember those who have given their life in service of this country, it also is a day that signifies the start of summer — unofficially of course. When I was in school Memorial Day meant that school was already out [...]
AT&T is My Friend
Over the last few months my text messaging activity has been increasing. Being a youth minister, text messaging is a primary method of communication with students. It’s also very expensive when you double your text messaging allotment for the month.
That’s right, I almost hit the 400 text mark for the month of March. Since the [...]
Sliming Down the Newsreader
In the ongoing attempt to encourage more creativity in my life I took a few minutes to slim down NetNewsWire yesterday. Dropping the subscription count from an impossible to keep up with 73 feeds down to a very manageable 33 has actually given me a chance to read the stuff in them. Imagine that? Reading [...]
Changing the way I think.
When I was in college and my sleep schedule was more geared toward being awake until around 3am, I learned something about the way my mind functions. After about 10pm I move into the most creative and productive part of the day. Unfortunately, since I now have to wake up and go to sleep at [...]
Pimping my Time Machine
Back in October, upon the release of Apple’s OS X 10.5 Leopard, I started backing up my computer regularly for the first time in my life thanks to Apple’s Time Machine feature. Of course I was only backing up my iMac and figuring that since I sync my MacBook and iMac, the MacBook was being [...]
Happy New Year
The winds of change blew in a new year and a new Mindless Chatter design. This is probably the simplest worst design I’ve ever made but hey, simple is good right?
It’s now 2008 and that means there is a new slate, a new chance to make resolutions that might be kept for the next week [...]
Playstation 2: 2003-2007
Nearly four years ago I had an itch, an itch to play Final Fantasy X. I purchased the game used at EB Games (may they rest in peace) for a very reasonable price and couldn’t wait to enjoy my purchase. The only problem, of course, was that I didn’t own a Playstation 2. For the [...]
