May, 2007:

Just call me Lance Armstrong.

For those of you who read and enjoy Dave King’s weblog know that by this time this year, he has usually biked from here to the moon twice which is kind of discouraging for those of us who are quite lazy. Today I start riding my bike the 2.5 kilometres to work which isn’t much. [...]

Pray for my quick healing

Tonight one of the guys around work had some Harley Davidson dog gear for sale for cheap. I bought Maggi a Harley Davidson denim jacket which means that tonight when I get off of work I get to try to get her to wear it. Considering I was lucky to survive putting socks on her [...]

May 27th :: Mustard Seed vs. McWorld Resources

Some of the resources that we used for the May 27th Freehouse, Mustard Seed vs. McWorld.

Contextless Links

Bush the Neo-Liberal :: Read it yourself :: via Mark Cuban on the future of music :: I would say the music industry has put itself in the position of being incredibly stupid. They are dependent on a format, the CD, that few people listen to. Although this is a guess, my guess is that [...]

Church Signs

You all know the customizable church signs that I am talking about. The ones with a pithy, cliched, and often condemning message on it to encourage people to come to church but don’t work. Why isn’t obvious to everyone that it would be far more effective to use that space to promote your website? There [...]

Not a Leader

I have never minded Stephen Harper that much as Prime Minister, he hasn’t really inspired me to dream great dreams but he isn’t as evil as some have said it is (he isn’t a neo-conservative) but this kind of stuff really turns me off the Conservative Party. The blog by Kyoto seems especially juvenile. Sadly, [...]

Wendy Cooper: Novelist

I don’t know if I mentioned this but Wendy has spent the last several months writing a novel and is well into it. She is wondering on the best way an unpublished author can bring a book to life. Here are the options. Shop it to publishers, deal with an overwhelming about of rejection and [...]

So sick

Am I sick today. Went home last night, had a nap and then did some last minute stuff for tonight’s Freehouse and then went to bed. Woke up a couple hours later with the flu, fever, shakes, and I was either delirious for part of the night or Chewbacca is renting out part of my [...]

Kiva

Wendy and I are now international bankers We are lending micro development loans through Kiva. It’s pretty easy. You sign up, choose an entrepeneur and then lend some money though Kiva. It lists default rates, success rates and all of the information you need to make an informed decision. You transfer your loan to Kiva [...]

This Sunday

As most of you blog readers know, this Sunday is Mustard Seed vs. McWorld, a worship installation at Albert Community Centre put together by your friendly neighborhood Church of the Exiles. This is the last of our beta gatherings and we will be doing a much bigger launch this fall for the neighborhood with some [...]

Which lottery pick did the Raptors get?

I was watching the draft lottery for a second and you know you are a Raptor fan when you are trying to see which pick the Raptors got before it clicks in, “They made the playoffs and don’t get a pick.” Then the realization hits you, my team isn’t that bad right now.

Microfinancing Information

Over at the Church of the Exiles website, I put together some information on how to get involved in microfinancing that we will be using for the next Freehouse. Wendy and I have given through Modest Needs in the past and we are looking at doing the same thing globally. It’s pretty easy to get [...]

Contextless Links

Crunching the numbers on church membership :: The numbers are generally inflated Dan Sheffield is evaluating local theologies The best review on Spiderman 3 that I have seen so far. Al Gore has a new book called the Assault on Reason :: I can now see him running in 2008. Check out Gore’s amazing Mac [...]

Talking about living life

Over the last 10 months people have commented over the decreasing amount of fresh content on the site and the reliance on links around here. Someone one criticised me as being a link blogger like kottke.org which I took as quite a compliment as I am a big fan of his blog but they are [...]
