Wamu Chase is the Worst Bank Ever Right Now

I’ve been a Washington Mutual customer for around 4 years and really have had no complaints to speak of. Enter Chase, exit happy banking. I can’t deposit money into my account at an ATM and couldn’t even use my card for weeks. This is because I opened my account in California and then moved to Washington state. Come to find out WAMU has different zones and they aren’t...

What's in a name? Cross cultural mistaken...

So tonight I am going to play volleyball and decide to track down a bhutaneese refugee guy I met at church who said he liked to play. I didn’t have his number or address, only his first name, which I thought was khata. I called one of the leaders in our church outreach to the bhutaneese and after explaining who I was looking for he said he was at the guy’s house and would ask if he...

My friend on the 18th putting for birdie and a new course record (for us) five under. He missed but it was a crazy miss to be sure.

What John Piper means when he says "I Love Jesus...

I admire Jesus Christ more than any other human or angelic being. I enjoy his ways and his words more than I enjoy the ways and words of anyone else. I want his approval more than I want the approval of anyone else. I want to be with him more than I want to be with anyone else. I feel more grateful to him for what he has done for me than I do to anyone else. I trust his words more...

Innova Boss Disc Review

I got my first-run Innova Champion Boss (175g) last week and thought I might share my first impressions. My first impressions are that it’s not a game changer like the Innova Destroyer was. It’s more like a variant of the Destroyer. Innova’s flight numbers for it do seem accurate. It seems bit less overstable than the Destroyer and just a little bit longer distance-wise. The...

They probably won’t try this again. I love people getting wiped out like this.

Martyred →

Christian lady in Afghanistan is shot and killed for preaching. Wow. It’s strange to consider that I could fly somewhere tomorrow and have people actively seek to kill me for speaking of Christ. Am I devoted enough to go here if Christ called me? Knowing that it could very well cost me my life? That’s a tough one.

This a great place to find insane deals on electronic devices and software that you might otherwise never know you needed at such a great price. You gotta spend money to save money! They post a new deal every day.

I don’t how this place sells shoes for so cheap but I bought two pairs of Reef’s for $20 each when they were retail $70+ each. It looks like the Reef sale is over but they always have some $19.95 sale on different brands.

No Joke, We're In Children's Ministry

Brooke and I have decided to serve in the Children’s Ministry department at our church (www.fbchurch.org). We will be teaching K-1st every other week during the school year. This is a big step for us. It’s been 4 years or so since we served in any regular capacity at a church. During this time we’ve walked through hardheartedness, babies, and the wreckage of both our parents...

Copying PDF Image with Transparent Background

Did you know you can copy an image, say a logo, from a PDF and keep a transparent background? I suppose anyone involved in printing and most web developers already know this but I didn’t. It’s actually not copying at all. Just open the PDF file in Photoshop, Illustrator and I imagine most other graphics applications. I am guessing this only works when the original graphic embedded in...

Comcastic!

I am a loyal and appreciative Comcast customer. Loyal because they gave me a year of Cable internet for $34.99 per month and appreciative because it’s very fast. I have no complaints whatsoever and would recommend their service to anyone who asks. The one funny thing is that they raise the rates up to $60 per month every year. I then call in and say I am going to cancel and go with another...

My Next Mobile Phone Marriage

I am getting excited to be done with my exhaustively long 2-year marriage to T-mobile. Here are my current top 3 next phones: 1. Iphone 3G. Duh, it’s the sweetest phone ever. A couple of drawbacks are the overall cost of AT&T service, lack of camcorder functionality (although I’ve seen a hack) and larger size (I am a pocket phone carrier). 2. Blackberry Thunder. This is due out...
