Wednesday June 14, 2006

Video: Lisa Nunley has linked to two videos showing some sad, pathetic clips taken from the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Click and see “Why Jan Crouch wants Your Grandmother’s Grocery Money…” Click and wonder how people can continue to watch this circus!

Technology: Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, has officially discouraged people from using his site for serious academic study. This follows many examples of the site’s inaccuracies. It is still a helpful guide as long as the user realizes its fallibility.

Politics: Frank Page has been elected as President of the Southern Baptist Convention. I don’t know who he is, but a good number of good men seem to be quite pleased with the news. As we’d expect, BP News reports.

Work: I’m looking for someone to help me with a pretty major project. I need someone who is proficient in PHP or Perl or Ruby or just about any scripting language and has time to develop a couple of scripts for me. If that’s you, please send me an email.
