Maybe not so near between :-)

Well, I can't believe I've gone a week without posting anything. Here lately, God has been dealing with me about restructuring and reorganizing my life. He has blessed me with many talents and I feel that He now wants me to start focusing those talents on His Will. Where does this leave my blog? Well, I don't know at this point. Whether or not this blog is in His ongoing plan He has yet to reveal. However, I do believe that it was His Will that I start it. So, please continue to pray for me that I make the right decisions and stay in His perfect Will at all times (that is my true heart's desire).

I'll leave you with something I was reminded of the other day... a funny little oxymoron that most computers contain. Try starting your computer with the keyboard unplugged. If its like most computers, you will get the following message:

Keyboard Error or No Keyboard Present... Press F1 to Continue

Think about that! :)

Many and near between

In an effort to provide better content (and to allow myself more sleep ;-), I may not be posting as often as I have been. You know how it goes... turn 21, see how fast life is going by, try to consolidate, try to reorganize, etc. Thanks for your understanding!

;-)
Blog to you later!

Start your morning right!

It is absolutely astonishing to see how much better your day goes when you start it out by praying and studying God's Word. You're more productive, you're better prepared for Satan's attacks, and there's less stress because your focus is more on God throughout the day. I can definitely tell a difference when I forget to start my day right. Thank you, Lord, for loving us and helping us all with the life that You have so graciously given us!

Evolution? Millions and billions of years old? See AiG

For those of you who are confused about how evolution and the so-called 4.57 billion-year-old earth fits in with the Bible, check out Answers In Genesis. I've included a few interesting links from AiG below...

Web 3.0: An Integrated Future

There's been a lot of hype over Web 2.0 and the next generation of web applications, and some have been speculating on what Web 3.0 will be like. For me, I believe that part of Web 3.0 will be better integration between applications.

In today's world, we have many different programs attempting to tackle similar problems. Competition between companies usually brings out the best of the best, but rarely does one company win in every category. What we end up with is several gold-standard products made from completely separate companies; and, although most allow import/export, the majority of them usually lack any sort of synchronization or connection.

Now, imagine a world where all of your applications are connected behind the scenes without using import and export. This may sound idealistic, but we are seeing a growing need for some kind of integration between all of these new web applications. For instance, Google may one day produce an outstanding web-based calendar program, but will it allow me to send the day's events to my journal program, or possibly even my blog? Having to import/export and copy/paste is getting more and more counter productive.

So, what do I think the buzz word will be for Web 3.0? Say hello to Send to and Synchronize with buttons. :-)

Goodbye to 21... Welcome 22!

Well, near the end of these week I will be passing the age marker of twenty-one. As someone once told me, you are actually living your Age+1 year :-) In other words, after this week I will be living my 22nd year. That's cool to think about.. of course, I probably won't be as eager to use such a thought when I hit say 39. LOL. Anyways, good night folks; I'll try not to let all those candles start a fire in the house ;-)
