Connected…and Not

There are so many tools that allow us to be connected to the rest of the world in a mere instant, and yet we sometimes lose the connection to our local world, which is most likely the more important of the two. RSS (that’s short for Really Simple Syndication) is a “tool” that allows you ...

This is Absurd

It seems I can’t stay away from the topic of the shootings at Virginia Tech. This is absurd. Cho did not die like Jesus Christ. His death in no way, shape, or form conceivable even closely mirrors the death of Christ. Jesus’ death came as a payment for the sins of mankind. Cho’s death was ...
