Xbox Media Center is pretty amazing. It makes the xbox a full on media center pc (without the cost…) Right now I’m streaming music from my Powermac G3 to the xbox, and I can view movies and pictures across the network. I’m pretty impressed. If you have a Mac and can’t [...]

Last night for youth group, we talked about Mark 12:1-9.  A man builds a vineyard, then leases it out to tenants.  When the time comes for harvest, the tenants won’t send any to him, so he sends a servant.  They beat the first servant, strike the next one on the head, then kill the third [...]

So, I didn’t end up buying a laptop for $20… it was a broken one… but I did end up getting 4 for $50 each and setting them up for Kimee, Becky, Dave (senior minister) and my sister Shainah. Aren’t I a nice guy… hah. Of course, they all paid me back, so [...]

Ah… Dillon left us yesterday evening. He went back home with his grandparents, and was very happy to see them. I think Sara and I had just gotten used to having him around, and now he’s gone… Baby withdrawls…
The enclosure for the external hd I use on the Powermac G3 died last night… [...]

The other little boy is one that Sara and I are babysitting. His name is Dillon, and he’s [...]
