Always inspiring, “Stirman](http://www.stirman.net/archives/2006/06/28/im-sorry/ has given be a bit of conviction today. He writes about some things he’s done in his life that he regrets. I think we all have regrets and though posting them publicly seems a little strange, he’s right, it’s freeing. And being on a personal blog, I’m sure the offended will never [...]

h2. …but maybe it can save your sanity

The issue of inline styles came up recently in regard to something in the stylesheet not working right. Instead of fixing the problems in the stylesheet, it appears there are people resorting to inline styles to “fix” their troubles by overwriting the stylesheet. This bothers me for a [...]

I’ve recently been inspired to write up a “FAQ](/faq/ for some of the questions I’ve been getting more of lately. This is in no way because of any particular client or reader, it’s just something a friend advised me to do when I complained of the types of questioning I was seeing.

I love to help [...]

Artist: Phil Wickham

Album: Phil Wickham Label: Simple Records, 2006

I’ve been listening to Phil Wickham’s CD for a month now, and to be honest, not much else. From the opening note in Always Forever to the last hum of guitar in Yours Alone, I’m hooked. There’s something this guy has though, which not a lot of mucisians [...]

… but can’t. :(

Those close to me know I’ve been saving since last year’s “God Blog Convention](http://www.godblogcon.com/ so that I could go – and this year it’s not the money that’s holding me back. I scrimped and saved and now it just so happens the conference falls on my birthday weekend, the same weekend [...]

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.”

Read that last phrase again, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word. I have to say, there’s [...]

I missed the color scheme for last week due to my website changes, but I promise this week’s is a good one! As you might know already, my family just bought a house and we’re moving in next weekend. It was a foreclosure, so that leaves us with a lot of work to do, first [...]

!(shadow-l)http://static.flickr.com/62/171030020_8b580292e4_m.jpg) I’m a little late for my playlist post (last one was April) but the lag is there for a reason. I’ve been waiting for the “Cars Soundtrack](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=157042960&s=143441 (no, really)! No other soundtrack (except maybe “Hackers](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000005OMF/104-1672622-3890358?v=glance&n=5174 ten years ago) has made me so giddy, so I’m making it the playlist of the summer and I’ll [...]

Do you ever think that browser bugs are not always bugs at all but often the coder’s mistake that looks like a bug? I’ve seen some wacky things happen in designing my own sites and I can usually figure out why it happens, but you know, it’s not always cause to scream at IE. I [...]

It has been a long and dusty road to this place where there is strength in strengthening a man. I was raised in a home in which a man’s shortcomings were raised up and his sins held to tightly. I’m not sure how it started, if my mother learned it from hers, or if it [...]

This entire site is proudly powered by “Textpattern](http://textpattern.com, the most beautiful, most versatile CMS I’ve ever used. I was previously using “Wordpress](http://wordpress.org, which is my next favorite CMS. In fact, most of my clients use Wordpress. I feel tremendous love for both platforms and recommend each of them in different situations. I wrote about “my [...]

There are a good number of articles I read that I’ve printed off of a website. I try not to read on screen as much as possible, and sometimes articles are long or a good subject in which I want to take the time to enjoy. I get really excited when I see a good [...]
