No More Politics

» link (pdf)

Read this article in the KC Star on Saturday. Very thought provoking. This continues to be an issue that I struggle to get a handle on: How my faith in Christ relates to politics, nationalism and war.

The disciples were often gung-ho and misguided — James and John asking Jesus to sit on his right and left, Peter cutting off the ear of Malchus at Jesus’ arrest, etc.

This is a really interesting site. All kinds of info on all types of batteries. E.g. which batteries are the best, how to store them, etc. Pretty sweet.

Another Sweet Windows App: Color Cop

This is another one of my indespensible arsenal. I know, I know there’s a Firefox extension (Colorzilla) that does this same type of thing. But…(finger waving)… Color Cop works on the whole desktop.

The ongoing desktop search experience

I’ve been trying desktop search utilities for the past year now. I tried them in this order: Copernic, Google, MSN, Google and Copernic — giving each their fair shake.

I’m back to Copernic because I don’t like the way that Google Desktop jumbles all the different filetypes together. I don’t like having to narrow down searches by using “filetype:doc” search commands. The Ctrl-ctrl hotkey for Google is cool — but hotkeys are not that big of a deal for me. The Outlook integration in the Google one is nice, but with Copernic — it’s all in one place. Even though I’m a proud Gmail user, I don’t like having results from my computer displaying in my browser. Just bugs me.

Guess I should try Yahoo Desktop search at some point. It’s gotta be killer to make me switch from Copernic.

Here’s a great VB script if you need to do a search and replace across a bunch of PowerPoint files.
