Accidental Publication

13 October 2010 Uncategorized

Howdy all — Yesterday, I accidentally published (rather than saved as draft) a post about non-literal interpretations of Genesis. That post was not meant to appear on the site, yet. It still needs some scholarly love. Thanks for reading!

Antediluvian Dylan Rocks On…But Toward What?

29 April 2009 Uncategorized

I have been a rather obsessive fan of the Bard from Hibbing since eighth grade when I discovered “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” The way the young, croaky yet clear-throated Dylan sang those repetitive phrases (“it’s a hard, it’s [...]

Withering Fig is Back?

28 February 2009 Uncategorized

After an extremely long lay off, I have begun to post again on Withering Fig. This was my first blog endeavor. In some ways it still captures my attention. Because Scripture study is a part of my daily life, I’m hoping to use this as the jumping point for the “new” Fig. Previously, I had [...]

OmniOutliner — My Usage

19 January 2009 Uncategorized

Most who know me and know Macs, know that I love software put out by the “OmniGroup”:http://www.omnigroup.com/. Their applications are smart, sophisticated, totally Mac-ified, user-friendly, and a host of other descriptive but over-used adjectives as well. Specifically, “OmniOutliner”:http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/ and “OmniGraffle”:http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/ are pretty much daily applications for me. In fact, OmniOutliner almost never closes. This article [...]

ThursNight: January Update

1 January 2009 Uncategorized

Back in October, I wrote a series of posts about my experience at the Austin Film Festival. The Festival was fantastic because it really kick-started the creative process for me. I spent several weeks in a good mode. However, all good things come to an end. The holidays began, and I was derailed. The creative [...]

Interview #1: Software Developer (Java)

27 December 2008 Uncategorized

A little history: I received the news that I was being laid-off on December 16. It was lovely. I had driven my wife to a doctor’s appointment. We had expected her doctor to say that she was going to need surgery to cure her “minor digestive abnormalities.” Lucky for us, the doc decided not to [...]
