- I read The Flight of Peter Fromm this past weekend. It's about a young fundamentalist who attends a liberal seminary. It's an older book, but an amazingly great read! Highly recommended to anyone who's been to seminary, might go to seminary, believes in the Christian faith, or knows some one who believes in Christianity (does that cover most everyone?) It does not come out on the side of conservative faith, but I still found it very affirming. If you read (or have read) it, let me know what you think (unless it destroys your faith, and then, I apologize in advance... but it really did pull me closer to faith in Christ, which is strange, given the story...)
- I've watched some of the bonus features on the Serenity Collector's Edition. And I've found a lot of cool Serenity stuff on cafepress (now, if only I could afford to waste money on cool stuff at cafepress).
- Palm announced that, after all the hype, they are not going to make their Foleo (kind of a sub-notebook that's not really a notebook but would work really well for me), which means I have one less item to covet (that's a good thing, right?) Still, it was a sweet little piece of vaporware...
- Our library is functional but still not finished... even my office is in a state of semi-disrepair. It's not an altogether bad place to be, though.
- I have my kids this coming weekend (very good!) and then, on the following weekend, a visit to the homelands to be reunited with my comrades from high school (also very good!) Another plain glass bottle of the local root beer, eh, Morgan?
- I also watched the $5 Walmart Batman the Movie DVD. You know, with Adam West (the real Batman). I was just going to pass it by, but when I saw the audio commentary was West and co-star Burt Ward, I knew I really, really wanted to experience it. Funnier than you'd think, but not as funny as I had hoped. Still, Frank Gorshin's Riddler always makes me laugh.
Someday, I'll start thinking again and write something that's almost worth reading. Until then, thank you kindly for your continued patronage!

Any time. :)
Interesting--I read in the fundraising letter that the library is "completed" and just needs a few "finishing touches." Sounds like furniture is considered a finishing touch. :)
I heart your technolust. I need better technoskills.
Right now I'm positively heavy breathing waiting for Apple to come out with a swivel-screen tablet laptop. Please please please please!
Lisa, yeah, well, furniture is highly overrated. My boss keeps telling people will be 100% done by Thanksgiving.
Michael, I have more posturing than skills (and more technolust than posturing.) Given enough time, Apple will release the machine of your dreams (or, more often than not, a machine which you didn't realize you were dreaming of until they release it. They're good that way.)
Batman the movie! holy cinematic feats! I love that movie... mostly for sentimental reasons... since I watched the series... had a huuuge crush on Burt... yeah...
