• New mercies I see

  24Jan
  Categories: Blog Comments: 0

  Finally, a breather in life!
  I’m pretty much settled in my new flat now. We’ve just finished a really cosy get-together with Paperclip, our weekly dose of friendship and camaraderie. And it seems like everyone didn’t mind too much sitting on the floor and eating pizza and wedges around a coffee table!
  I like this place. [...]

  “Unless the LORD builds the house, whose who build it labour in vain.” King Solomon (Psalm 127:1)
  Today, Cheryl and I signed our very first rental agreement.
  With our wedding less than 3 months away, we decided it would probably be easier to make living arrangements at a different time to the madness of wedding preparations. And [...]

• Puritan Prayer 2: God’s Cause

  11Nov
  Categories: Blog Comments: 0

  Written hundreds of years ago by the Puritans in frontier America. Ever-so-relevant in 2009.
  SOVEREIGN GOD,
  Thy cause, not my own, engages my heart,
  and I appeal to thee with greatest freedom
  to set up thy kingdom in every place where Satan reigns;
  Glorify thyself and I shall rejoice,
  for to bring honour to thy name is my sole desire.
  I adore [...]

  Beautiful. (Probably unbearably loud in real life, too, but still.)
  Genesis 1:20 – “… And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”

  Come on everyone and celebrate! You know you’ve missed the regular musings of a genuine artist (since the start of fulltime work and life, sadly my musings don’t carry as much cultural weight). Dennis has resurfaced on a new website, and as with the continual reinventing we frequently do in life, there’s no trace of [...]

• Find out how much Google knows about you

  06Nov
  Categories: Blog Comments: 0

  Google have released a new “Dashboard” feature that lets you see what information they store about you:
  https://www.google.com/dashboard/
  You’ll either be unnerved by the Big Brother-ness of it all, or just shrug your shoulders and life goes on.
  All you conspiracy theorists fire away… e.g. Google will be the new Antichrist…

• How to sum up the Lord of the Rings in a line diagram

  05Nov
  Categories: Blog, Timewasters Comments: 1

  This is for all you Lord of the Rings fanatics out there, some brilliant work from xkcd:
  http://xkcd.com/657/large/
  The diagram’s scarily accurate (also includes other stories like Star Wars and Jurrasic Park) and must have taken a lot of work to draw!
  Incidentally J.R.R. Tolkien was good friends with C.S. Lewis, and was an influence in his conversion [...]
