I’ve had a problem with the Wii Netflix Channel for a long time now. The problem is artwork wasn’t getting loaded in. It was very spotty. Some artwork would load, others would not. After a useless customer support phone call, in which it was assumed my wifi was to fault, it dawned on me that…

Of Innocence and Bitterness
Innocence is a gift despised both in youth and in age. Youth despise it to to hide the fact they do not yet see what others see. The aged despise it to hide the fact they see, all too clearly, what others see. Blessed is he who sees this bitterness, who goes and sows innocence…
Asus Eee PC trackpad acting strange? It’s easy to fix yourself!
I just recently bought an Asus Eee PC 1215B. It’s a great netbook but there are some unfortunate sore spots. Once they’re fixed, it’s pretty great. The first is the trackpad acts wonky after about 15-20min of usage. Crack open your Eee and don’t worry it’s not as bad as you think! My particular issue…
Of Luck and Endeavour
Luck is that remaining portion of effort, that divide between action and completion, which the universe dutifully throws a coin against. Those deemed luckier than others are, on the whole, simply those who endeavoured to narrow the divide in relation to their peers, be it by ever so slight a degree. mjg/11

In doing this, you take on the weakness of man, allowing the foolishness of God to overturn the strength of…
Of Change and Redemption
People change. People change again. And He who made them at the beginning, who made them male and female, He is mighty to save. mjg/11
Of Hope and Waiting
Francis Bacon once said hope was a good breakfast but a bad supper. I, for one, am glad that I should still be eating. mjg/11
Of Time and Choice
Think of time as a sequence of individual moments, one moment leading another, each a three-dimensional cube. You, and friends, family and acquaintances, in each moment, as subject. You hover over your life-line. You can look down from above and see the entirety of your moment-picture life. From this vantage point, you grasp ownership of…
Not Even Theory
Recently, I was in a brief discussion over Facebook regarding a link to notjustatheory.com. My friend, not a believer of young earth creationism, pointed out the site and I wrote a comment in reply that, indeed, the “just a theory” anti-evolution argument is really an invalid argument. And it is invalid. But it reminded me…
