http://www.timberglund.com/blog See what large letters I use as I write to you in my own hand. Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:25:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I am not the world's most loyal listener of the Glenn and Helen show, but I always like what I do catch. This week's episode is well worth your time. What caught my eye was the surname of the guests. The episode is an interview with brother and sister Claire and ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/627 Recently the topic of contemporary worship has come up in real-life conversation a few times, so I thought I'd compile these posts I wrote a year and a half ago into one, easy-to-find place. After, why talk to friends when you can just give them a URL? Wait, don't answer ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/629 Brains and digital computers go about computation in very different ways—so different, in fact, that it's less than clear to me that "computation" (in the Turing machine sense) is what brains are really doing. This probably accounts for why trivial brain tasks like detecting speech, understanding natural language, and recognizing ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/625 To the barricades! InfoWorld is calling for action to recruit and retain more women in information technology jobs. The piece is not as bad as it might have been, but it contains some assumptions that are as odd as they are unexamined. To begin with, data: It may not be surprising ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/624 Now that Christmas Day has gone and the Holiday Season is coming to a close, I would like to send out a call to all the pop musicians of the world as they contemplate their projects for 2007. If you are the sort of artist who likes your new releases ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/616 Normally it gets to be late January before I realize that I am rapidly running out of lagering season, and I end up in a rush to get them finished before the weather warms up. Lager yeasts need low temperatures and a couple of months of time to do their ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/617 When I was ten years old, Denver got three feet of snow on Christmas Eve. I remember not being able to see much outside that was more than 50 feet or so away from the house, and I remember having a whole lot of fun in the snow the next ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/615 They're edgy and authentic, because they cuss: the son of Jim Bakker and a programmer with messy hair want to know how it's all gone so terribly wrong: What the hell happened? Where did we go wrong? How was Christianity co-opted by a political party? Why are Christians supporting laws that ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/614 Last Saturday morning I brewed beer and baked an apple pie. Inexplicably, I didn't take pictures of the pie. The recipe is Beer At Home's IPA kit. It should ferment down to about 1.010 in another week. As long as there are no delays in bottling, it will be marginally ready ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/613 Yesterday afternoon we had the distinct pleasure of having lunch with some friends from The Netherlands. It's always a treat for me to talk to people from other countries—a double treat, in the case of the warm hospitality of this particular family—if for no other reason than to have direct ... http://www.timberglund.com/blog/archives/612
