Holidays
College has been on holidays now for a few weeks, and I’ve realised that I haven’t posted once!
I’ve been working almost full time these holidays, which has been strangely refreshing. I’ve got a gig behind the machine at Pablo and Rusty’s Olympic Park espresso bar - which has been a real treat. It means working [...]
Duped into expensive Cables.
The SMH reports on how AV retailers are ripping people off by offering TV purchasers expensive ‘high performance’ cables. This is the kind of thing that Baby-boomers are total suckers for. When ‘Pro-logic’ and ‘5.1 Dolby’ were the latest must-haves these guys pulled exactly the same stunts trying to convince buyers that buying certain types [...]
Coffee Roasting
Sorry for the lack of posts of late. Exams are happening. This morning was Old Testament 1 - it was a pretty reasonable paper - well I at least got all the questions I wanted. Thanks to Reuben for the sweet Genesis 1-11 study paper that came in handy for question 1!
But who wants to [...]
Hebrew Exam
This friday is my Hebrew exam. I don’t think I’m going to dominate it, (and sadly knowing your Old Testament well doesn’t help you like knowing your New Testament helps in Greek!) but I’ve been working hard on vocabulary and memorising the verb table. With those two weapons in hand I’m going to tackle the [...]
Handy Man
I’ve always wanted to be one of those guys who can fix anything around the house. You know, the kind of guy who can rescue a washing machine from the curb and then repair it with a cable tie, two paper clips and a bit of gaffa tape. Sure, I’ve installed a few car stereos [...]
Eat the Plate
Nick, a mate of mine from college has a blog for foodies called ‘Eat the plate’. Lots of recipes, food tips and general eating related stuff. Go on over and check out what he has to say.
Revelation sermons
The audio from my Revelation 1 sermon is now available. You can download it here. Hopefully weeks two and three will be available soon.
Is intellectual freedom a thing of the past?
Young Liberal Nigel Freitas thinks so. Here’s an excerpt from his piece in the SMH today:
Heaven help anyone on campus, academic or student, who dares to question what Dr Bendle calls a “radical orthodoxy”, characterised by “theories associated with neo-Marxism, postmodernism, feminism, radical environmentalism, anti-Americanism, anti-Christianity, and related ideologies”.
Bendle argues this entrenched left-wing culture has [...]
For Sale: Apple Macbook
Soph and I have decided to sell my black macbook. I’m now happily using my Acer netbook for college work. We’re selling it cheap - $500.
It’s a black first generation Macbook. I have owned it since new - July ‘06. All of the common first generation problems have been fixed - HDD and logic board.
2ghz [...]
In the books.
I’m feeling a little stressed at the moment - and there won’t be much respite until the week is out. On Friday we have our end of year Greek exam, for which I would appreciate your prayers. I’m doing ok at Greek, but there are some significant holes in my knowledge that need to be [...]
