Francis Chan - Balance Beam

Wow… This is a very short yet challenging message for me and yo’all Christians out there. I have heard of the name Francis Chan before but I just recently saw one of his message videos, and man what an analogy regarding how the majority of the Christians live nowadays in America! If you are not a Christian, this could also be challenging to you as well. Very so often we challenge our kids to dream big, and to live a life worth living for and so forth. But, I just wonder if we can really use our lives as examples while doing all the preaching. ...

Q3' 2009

Don’t be fooled by the recent ridiculous rally. The more and more I am convinced that the market does not reflect the health of the current economy. With the trillion national debt, high unemployment rate, weak retail profit, weak real estate, there is no way a recovery will be coming anytime soon. I am not being pessimistic, but just realistic. Look at the graph here: chartoftheday.com The S&P 500 companies are losing money. Thus the explanation to the rally is that: ...

Wolfram Alpha

Recently, WolframAlpha has been making some noise saying it can perform better searches than google. From what I understand, WolframAlpha claims to understand the words you type into the search bar, thus returning better search results, whereas google will only search your words literally with its PageRank algorithm. Say for example, if you type in “short CEO”, WolframAlpha will give you the info on the short CEO such as his name, his business, and so forth, while google will give you anything related to your search words. ...

44 cents to mail now!!?

Starting Monday, it costs more to mail http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/10/stamp.prices/index.html Shoot… got to go get the 2 cent stamps… dude! Only if I had bought the forever stamps… Wait a minute… huh? Why the hack then would anyone buy the 39 cent stamps or 42 cent stamps? The cost is one issue, and going to the post office to get the extra stamps is another. Two strikes against that. I don’t get it… I mean… why not everyone stocks up on stamps? Ever since 1919, the stamp price has ever been increasing [ costofstamps.org]. So then, why not simply buy the forever stamps? ...

Twitter at church?

US churches use Twitter to reach a wider audience http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/twitter/5274071/US-churches-use-Twitter-to-reach-a-wider-audience.html Pastors in Westwinds Community Church in Michigan spent two weeks teaching their congregation about Twitter, which allows users to send messages to each other which are no longer than 140 characters. Of the church’s 900 adult members, 150 are now tweeting. The church encourages congregants to ask questions about a sermon that the pastor can answer later. Alternatively, they can “tweet” during the service in case another worshipper can provide enlightenment. ...

Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009

You got to check this out! Susan Boyle got the hearts of the judges and the audiences not by her appearance, but simply by her singing! Against all odds, people recognized the true beauty below the surface. Besides this being an encouraging story, I have liked the song “I dreamed a dream” ever since I first listened to it. And not to mention Les Miserables, classic! Enjoy it! http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x8yxcu_susan-boyle-singer-britains-got-tal_music&related=1 Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009 ...
