  • Let’s have a holiday, soon

    It’s been pretty mad at work for the last wee while, so I was glad to take some time out and visit the hairdresser for a bit of hair modifying.
    So now I find myself sitting in a chair with a showercap on my head, and a weird hairheating contraption that attempts to placate your protests [...]

    What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?: The Positive Impact of Christianity in History

    A couple of weeks ago, I had this grandiose idea of writing a novel. The premise was this: modern-day alternate reality tracing the story of a couple of fishermen. They’d live in a world where Jesus never came. A world where Jesus never tapped anyone on the shoulder and ask: “Follow me”. Every sphere of life - politics, education, music, the arts, devoid of the influence of Jesus and Christianity. Could it have been a compelling message?

    As fanciful as the idea of painting a Tolkien-level realm devoid of the influence of Jesus Christ, my fiction writing skills are pretty thumbs down and so I decided to read a book about the idea instead. [...]

    Categories: Blog, Marathon Comments: 1

    I’m excited to be running regularly again. It’s actually one of my most beneficial times when I can think on my own, listen to music and podcasts, and get ideas going. And it’s a great way to keep active particularly when your full-time job is mostly spent in an office chair.
    This week’s long run started [...]

    Aucklanders, forget your staid TV shows and fireside novels this winter. The preeminent show in town this month is undoubtedly Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash-hit musical, “CATS”. I took the opportunity during the week to see the Auckland production of the musical that arguably sparked the ongoing West End/Broadway revival. [...]

  • Google vs Bing vs Yahoo

    With Microsoft’s recent rebranding of their search engine from “Live Search” to “Bing”, commentators have weighed in on whether it’s now more effective than Google in finding what you’re looking for online.

    Here’s a neat site that Michael Kordahi programmed to do a “blind tasting” of the top three search sites: Google, Bing and Yahoo. Might be of mild interest for you techies out there.

    Monday morning. For those of us in the workforce, this was our last day of the Impact 2009 Conference - for others (including Jono) there was the option of an extra day of leadership and discipleship seminars.
    General session 10: Rick completed his series on 1 Peter in expositing verses 10 to 12. By way of [...]

    Us out-of-town sojourners had the pleasure of worshipping and learning with the local Riverbend congregation on Sunday morning, day 3 of the Impact Bible Conference. Rick and Russell preached during the morning sessions, while Jerry presented a stirring message during the evening Communion service.
    Sandwiched between the plenaries was the continuation of the ladies seminar by [...]
