Annyeong Haseyo! Kyeonghi and I are here on our bi-annual visit to Korea. My dad asked us to visit Jeju's island's Mysterious Road on our visit to Korea. Here's a couple of videos... I can't get the share button on YouTube to work today, so they're just plain links: First video Second video

There won't be a stone on the ground When the man comes around There won't be a tear There won't be a tear In the flesh In the eye Just the wonder and fear Of a brand new idea A sketch in the sand A challenge unmet A people once determined Now unsure (or reflective) And from doubt, Faith! Denial! Anger! Wonder! Unbelief! Disbelief!

Buffalo got about 2-3 feet of snow a couple weeks ago. Here's the (painful) proof!

So I was looking at the (short) list of old, cheap games I’d bought over Steam during their 5-day Thanskgiving sale and over the past month or so during a couple random weekend sales.  GhostBusters, Mirror’s Edge, Crysis,  Mass Effect, and Tomb Raider: Underworld was the haul, all for under 15 bucks (Mirror’s Edge I got for $5!  Yay!).  As I was perusing the haul, it occurred to me that not a

Yup, there it is!  It’s a little late (I took this picture in the afternoon, after much of the early morning shtuff had melted away), but this is the first day we’ve had it this winter.  According to NPR, it picked a pretty good day to arrive… the 1st of December is the official first day of winter.   I’m blogging using Windows Live Writer now, which is a rich client sitting on my desktop

The Self-Annotating Oxford Trip VideoSelf-annotating... I wish! A couple weeks ago we flew to Oxford, MS, which was Kyeonghi's college hometown for a few years, to attend the wedding of Bill Mackenzie's daughter. Bill was Kyeonghi's spiritual mentor while she was in Oxford, and I've also known Bill for a long time since he is heavily involved with the Navigators International Student Ministries

I'm still a scrubby G2-level competitor though, so unfortunately I have little to show for it.That said, here are some pics from all the way back in late June.

After handing the keys to Tom, one of the fine new friends we've made here in Buffalo, he dropped us off at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, and we boarded a plane for Atlanta. In Atlanta, I gave Brent a call, so that someone in Knoxville would know we were heading out of the States. Apparently

I'm not opposed to the US allowing gays to marry, even though I strongly believe that's not the picture of marriage God gives us in the bible. Even if we really are better if everyone's straight, there is too little consensus on that point, and a government that aims to

Slow DaysYou get em at work sometimes. And today is one. All I'm doing is waiting on Visual Studio 2008 installation files so I can work on a new project. Since I was talking about 2DFighter yesterday, I thought I'd briefly share about some of the games I've been playing on there.Street Fighter Alpha 2This was my all-time favorite game on the Sega Saturn. I never really got good at it since

Suppose I Had A Time MachineOk, useless hypothesis of the day (or month... or year). Suppose I had a time machine. A fully functional, honest-to-gosh, send-you-to-any-point-in-the-past-or-future time machine. Oh, and lets make it a spatial displacement machine as well, so you also go anywhere. Though, if you think about it, aren't all time machines in fiction spatial displacement machines as

Summer '08 Super Hero Movie RoundupI've officially seen more superhero flicks this summer than any other. Granted, I've probably watched more flicks this summer than any other (Even 'Sex In THe City' snuck in there... but it wasn't my idea!), so that doesn't necessarily reflect a sudden rise in the number of superhero flicks this year. There were undeniably a lot to choose from, though. I

Make A Note (A Very Happy Note)Well, I gone done it. I got engaged to the woman of my dreams. She's smart, funny, beautiful, and loves God. She's also got a funny accent and she gets a little cranky when she's hungry (or bored, or tired), but nobody's perfect. KIDDING! She loves me and I love her, and that makes her absolutely perfect to me.It happened two days ago while I was driving her

The Shortest VerseOk, here's my go at blogging a shirt on my Printfection store instead of Spreadshirt. I decided to use imageshack to host the design... click on the image below to go to the store and check out the various shirts I've got the design on. (There's a little verse on the back of the shirts, too!) I've actually ordered one just to see how it turns out. Can't wait to get it!

WiinanigansOk, so, as I get older, it gets harder to think of good blog post titles. Hit the big three-oh this year, a couple months ago. My old wit has started to fade already. OR it might have nothing to do with age. It might have more to do with the fact I played a lot of Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 on the Nintendo Wii last night. It was the semi-regular geek night of the ex-Netlearning

I Am Iron ManWell, this kinda saves me the trouble of doing a movie review. Heh. Make a tacky t-shirt instead. Now you too can have a chestpiece ala Tony Stark! Hmm.... I'm gonna have to fix up the transparencies on the images I upload.

Some UpdatesWell it's kinda hard to summarize a whole year, so maybe I won't even try. All who are near and dear to me (and not so near but still dear to me) know pretty much what are the big changes in my life lately. Of course, I have a been seeing a very charming lady by the name of Kyeonghi for close to a year, now. I'd like excuse the year of inactivy on that, but truth be told, I wasn't

Piracy, Purity, and PeteyLooks like I'm averaging one post a month now. I have been busy, but it's mostly been a silly kind of business. I bought Sid Meier's Pirates a couple of weeks ago with a gift card I got for my birthday, and I've been sailing up and down the Caribbean making a nuisance of myself like a good pirate should. I have been going to the gym an average of 5 days a week, taking

Oh Noez!Well, I finally let it happen. I didn't renew the website I had been hosting all my pictures on for two years, and so all the picture links are down. I suppose I should move all my pictures to a free image hosting site, but... I'm too lazy right now =p. When I have pictures to show in the future, I'll probably go looking for a place to put them, and then maybe start the process of

Deep ThoughtTwo couples I know, Brent & Marci and Kevin & Lydia, are expecting. It's pretty exciting for all of us, and Brent & Marci have been poring through a book of baby names trying to figure out what to call the little 'un when he or she arrives. That has me wondering... isn't it a little short-sighted to give your baby a name from a book of baby names? It's gonna grow up someday, so

Someone Else Does My Work For Me MuahahahaOk, so a couple of weeks after Urbana I went on another road trip, this time to the Navigators Southeastern ISM conference. I kinda forgot where it was, but it was a few hours on the road to get there. I got to start taking note of these things.Kevin Zinn was there too, and he kindly went ahead and put up a website chockful of video, photos, and mp3s,

I Ought To Be In Bed...... but I'll take a couple more minutes to wish everyone a Happy New Year, a whole day late =). I just got back from the Urbana missions conference in St Louis. It's usually held in Urbana, Illinois, but this year it was held in St Louis so they could fit a bigger crowd, or so I'm told. I'm not the kind of guy who goes into these things with very particular expectations,

I'm at work right now so I still ain't gonna post anything substantial. Suffice to say I've been keeping myself busy this past month with many random things (books, music, and Ultima VII lol!). For now, I'm going to quote from this

Spirituality with Shades OnYour nature is a hard thing to change; it takes time. One of the extraordinary transferences that happen in your spiritual life is not that your character flaws go away but they start to work for you. A negative becomes a positive: you've got a big mouth: you end up a singer. You're insecure: you end up a performer who needs applause. I have heard of people having

Extreme Bumper CarsOk, so I got into an accident three weeks ago in which my car got totalled, and I went and bought a new car right after that. I've finally gotten all my photos and semi-facts together, so here's everything that happened (as far as I can tell).It was on a Tuesday, and nothing was going on at the workplace, so I decided to go home and get some work done for one of David Pope's

Running With Caesars!Ok, first things first. I got into a wreck and the car was totalled. Poor Jo. I barely got to know her. Lydia will miss her old car too. I got a police report and a very unlikely story to go with it, but I'll hold off posting the report and telling the story because I want to hear more about it in court this Friday, and see if I can't get all the "facts" straight(er).

A Quote Paul Slay Gave Us Which I Need To Think AboutPrayer requires that we stand in "God's presence with openhands, naked and vulnerable, proclaiming to ourselves and to others that without God we can do nothing. This is difficult in a climate where the predominate counsel is, "Do your best and God will do the rest." When life is divided into "our best" and "God's rest," we have turned prayer

One More SalvoOkay I'm getting addicted to this camera, and I promise this is the last time before I actually start writing stuff again. There's a lot to write about, I guess... I really need to get to it.I finally got to see a play on Market Square yesterday evening. They were playing 'The Taming Of The Shrew'. I actually ran into a few folks from YAMs, and got to talk with David Kendall and

A Second Post Of The Day In What Seems Like ForeverWell I tried to watch Shakespeare On The Square today in downtown Knoxville, but apparently they cancel whenever the place gets wet. They were scheduled to start at 7pm, by which time the raindrops had ceased, but I guess they didn't want to deal with a soggy backstage. It was not a total loss... I brought my camera along and made like a

360 Degrees Of Shakey PhotographyI just bought a Nikon Coolpix digital camera today, and one of the first things I did was create a panoramic image of my room in Quicktime Format, for your panning viewing pleasure. Here it is. Just click and drag to the left or right within the viewing screen to pan the image, and it'll almost be like you're standing in my room! It's not the best panorama ever

So Just Call Me Chief"In one way Man was to be haughtier than he had ever been before; in another way he was to be humbler than he had ever been before. In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures. In so far as I am a man I am the chief of sinners. All humility that had meant pessimism, that had meant man taking a vague or mean view of his whole destiny -- all that was to go. We were to

Hellbound Thieves, Homemade Pasta, And My Demands Of Matt ForsythePhew! What a week it's been, and it's not even Friday yet. My car got broken into sometime between Tuesday night and yesterday morning, and I'm now stereo-less, which means I have to sing to myself in the car, or think very deep thoughts. I'm mad that I didn't get to hear NPR on the way to work for the past couple of days, and

Fireworks, A Lack of Ducks, The Rules Of ChessLast Saturday I went with Roy, Kevin, and Lydia Zinn, and Chung Hao (who's not a Zinn but then again neither am I) to go see the hugest annual event in Alcoa, the pre-Fourth fireworks, which were done three days early because assumedly they didn't want to have to compete with the show Knoxville puts on. It was put on at the Alcoa City duck pond,

An Apology, And Several Facts About Chuck NorrisBefore I forget, I think I need to write a retraction. On November the 18th, 2003, I wrote that Gretchen Forsythe hates NPR. That's wrong. That's just flat out wrong. And she told me so in person. She just can't stand that one tune they play on NPR. The one that goes Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-DA!!!

Did Jesus Want People To NOT Understand Him? I've been attending a bible study at the Navigator office that's really close to where I live, and last week we looked at Mark 4. This chapter of Mark has a problematic little ditty in it I'd always wondered about but never dug deep into. The gist of the issue is in verses 10-12:Then he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about

Snikt! Snikt! Snikt!It's a little late, but I thought I'd speak up and say how great a movie Xmen: The Last Stand is. I enjoyed it more than the first two. The reviews have me dumbfounded. X3 is exactly how a movie with a gajillion super-powered characters should be handled. Everyone just chugs along and does what needs to be done, says what needs to be said, and doesn't pause to tease you

Schofar, Scho GoodIt's Memorial Day, and I want to say thanks to the troops who've given up so much for many. I don't just mean soldiers, but all who went into any battle and lost their bodily lives with the God-given conviction they were fighting for something good. There's no Martyr's Day, so I guess this is the closest I can get to that. Regular soldiers are cool, too, as long as they don't

A Theologyless Presentation Of Christ?Last night I was at the little weekly meeting at the Slays' house (which was actually quite a bit more crowded than I remember it being in the past... Paul had picked up quite a few folks over year I guess) which had just started again for the Spring. It was quite a collection of believers from various nations... there were folks from Iraq, South Korea,

Yeah the humor in Serious Sam 2 gets pretty lame towards the end, which only means someone needs to license this engine and slap a better game onto it.2.

The Problem Of Suffering And The Loving God (Part 3)I was invited to go have dinner and watch a movie at Brian Todd's house last night. He lives pretty close to Brent so finding it wasn't a problem. He's also invited a few international students over, and the dinner was a pot-luck kind of deal. The movie was Hotel Rwanda. I won't go into too much detail about what the movie is about (here's a

The Problem Of Suffering And The Loving God (Pt 2)Suffering. I'll be frank: I don't know what that word means. I'm not wanting for any of life's basics, and I even have many of its non-basics: I've always had food in my stomach, friendship and love (whenever I wasn't busy botching my relationships, that is), a roof over my head, and plenty of entertainment. When I read about persecution,

Carolling PilgrimsThis past Wednesday I took part in the first (of two) SIB Young Adult carolling practice. It was a first overall for me. I've never taken part in a carolling choir all my life. I'd always thought it'd be a fun thing to do, but the opportunity never came about, I guess. The practice itself went alright, though I'm a little nervous about there being only two practice sessions.
