Technology, Theology, and Anything In Between

In the article “Why You Need a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ Phone” on CNN’s website, the author presents a case for having a separate communications device in an emergency.  While I think that the basic concept is a good idea, I think a separate cell phone is probably not the best thing.  In a disaster situation, where [...]

Last week I was researching what happened to the Mobitex network, which is an older network in the U.S. for machine to machine interactions.  It was used with the older RIM 950 Blackberry, among other devices.  The Mobitex network is data only. I was surprised to find that Velocita Wireless is still offering two way [...]

I haven’t posted a blog in awhile, so I figured I should say something, in case I actually have people who are reading this blog. I have been working oddball hours, alternating between 1st and 2nd shift for the last few weeks, which has disrupted my schedule.  Usually this means I have no time for [...]

I’ve been thinking recently with a heavy heart about how to pass on faith from myself to my children and family.  It seems  like a daunting task, but yet, it is the expectation that a Christian father lead his household in this matter.  Here are my thoughts on the subject, and how I’m going to [...]

I’ve been trying to decide what to do with my Amateur radios and modems of late.  They had been collecting dust for far too long.  I decided what I would do is run a packet node/BBS/network system.  I think that I could help with providing connectivity in the north part of CT. So here is [...]

First, American Messaging:  They are [...]

I currently have two VPS systems that I’m using to test out IPv6 connectivity.  One of them is with arpnetworks, and the other is with nerios.  More companies I’ve noticed are offering native IPv6 connectivity, and assigning /64 or /48 blocks to users. Incidentally, I’d like to recommend arpnetworks as a provider of FreeBSD and [...]

I was reading this post by Missionary/Pastor David Cloud, and it got me thinking about my own life and television.  While I have some strong disagreements with the kind of Christianity his web site encourages (I am probably considered a New Evangelical by that group, even though I have serious problems with New Evangelicals as [...]

While I am probably best described as a dispensationalist, I get frustrated with the system quite frequently.  I get very frustrated with the Independent Baptist movement sometimes too.  There are many good things I can say about Independent Baptists, and even dispensational theology.   There are some negative things that I do wish to point [...]

I created two channels on IRC, related to my own theology interests.  You can stop by #baptist, or #anabaptist on DALnet anytime.  Most times I’m on IRC in the early to late evening, but I do have an account where I stay logged in.  So please drop by and say hello if you are an [...]
