There’s a guy sitting across from me reading a book on Biblical doctrine by Charles Ryrie. Ryrie was a good scholar, if I remember correctly. I haven’t read him, of course, since my fire-breathing fundie days. It used to be that I would think someone reading that would be a pretty nice fellow. Now, I wonder if he has a vest of C-4 strapped on under his jacket. It’s funny how a few, very vocal idiots can ruin it for everyone else… and by funny, I mean ironic and sad.

here we go ’round again.
Well, the Great Drupal Experiment has failed. I really just didn’t have time to decipher the Rube Goldberg machine of CMSs that is Drupal. I’m sure it’s great and robust and versatile for enterprise uses and whatnot, but I’m just managing a humble personal site and I need something I can get up and running much quicker. So, here we are.

So, the adventure continues once again. Stick around.
