A brief lesson in shadows

In my email box just now I noticed a google ad off to the side advertising the message, “Get paid to blog”. I’m always on guard with things like this because I know there are people out there who would think something like this was a very good deal. And for some, maybe it [...]


Blogging Scheme

Do you pray for your clients? I don’t – always. Every now and then I find my mind drifting off to other projects and I remember clients who haven’t called on me in awhile. Just when I think to call them, I sometimes find God again and decide pray for them first. I’m rarely so [...]


God works

Here’s a quick tip before I go to bed. If you want to track who’s storing a page from your site in their bookmarks, here are a couple of ways to do that.

Inma.gnolia, simply use this rss feed, changing the domain to your own. http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/full/terms/nataliejost.com

Fordel.icio.us go to “del.icio.us/url](http://del.icio.us/url/ and search for your domain. Then at [...]


Quick Tip: Tracking who links to you

Patterns and textures in color

When I was a kid and still had dreams of being a rock star, I used to imagine being interviewed by “Kurt Loder](http://www.mtv.com/news/correspondents/loder/ who would ask me who my biggest musical influence was. I’d pretend to hem and haw a sec and then oh-so-poetically droll out the name of some member of Fleetwood Mac [...]

This is my list of “Icon Buffet](http://www.iconbuffet.com/ icons which I have or need. The icons I have to give are here on this list, the ones I can’t give anymore are crossed out, but as of right now I have at least one delivery remaining on all of them (number remaining in parentheses)!

Send icons or [...]

God doesn’t hate, but He does have righteous judgment, which though similar in consequence, are really very different. I was disturbed (not surprised) by a post by my friend, Randy Thomas in which he describes “a recent stint on a radio talk show](http://www.randythomas.org/etc/2006/07/rebuking_the_re.html. He speaks calmly and even lovingly of a man who is in [...]


The persecution of sinners

My mom, The Beautiful Atheist, sent me this in my email this morning and I couldn’t help myself. I laughed. And then I realized why I’ve never bought into any one denomination – they’re all nuts! :)

How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

1. Charismatic:*1* Hands are already in the air. 2. [...]


A dozen reasons I will always be non-denominational

I’m seeing a few websites out there who actually put the term “web 2.0″ in their title or tagline or somewhere prominent on their site. It seems to me that if you have to specify that you’re web 2.0 then you’re really not. Maybe I’m alone in this, but I thought part of what made [...]


Web 2.0 can’t be faked

Before I accepted the truth of Christ, I was pretty picky with my Christian friends. If they sinned in the smallest way I was right there behind them quietly nagging them and proudly sitting justified in my refusal to accept Christ because what the hell kind of God would let his followers say/do such things [...]

There are moments from my childhood which I know I’ll never be able to erase. Of the worst, I wouldn’t expect Pucky to appear. Pucky was a scrawny little dog, though huge to a toddler, who liked to lick all [...]

There’s something really amazing that happens when I watch educational programming. With my God-filter I can see clearly the way God created the earth. It’s so cool how when you actually BELIEVE the Bible you can see things that others can’t.

Last night I was watching a Naked Science on the National Geographic channel and they [...]


God amazes me with science

+Now titled “Of Soapboxes and -Shit- Poopheads” (if “the president can’t say ’shit’](http://www.airbagindustries.com/archives/airbag/scheisse.php then neither can I)+

Can you go one day without blogging? I doubt it. No seriously, since we’ve moved I noticed I’ve spent less time looking at, reading, and writing, and thinking about blogs. It’s been awesome. I realize it’s put a damper on [...]
