Google’s Virtual Breathalizer

2008-10-08T11:00:00-05:00

Hey There, So did you hear about Google’s plan to keep drunk people from sending regrettable emails? It’s kind of brilliant, really. The way it works, see, is a person has to answer a series of math problems like (69-38 =?, 11x2=?, and so on) which must be solved within a time limit. The default setting in Google’s email client will be set for late at night on the weekends when people are “most likely to need” this sort of help. Apparently the inspiration …

What Do You Want to be Remembered For?

2008-09-13T15:30:00-05:00

Hi There, I was listening to a radio show while driving this week and the hosts were asking listeners what they wanted to be remembered for. They mentioned the pharaohs and the pyramids, and other “big” things people have done to be remembered by long after they’re gone. One of the hosts said he thought people did this sort of thing because it’s really the only control we have over immortality—it’s our only shot at creating some measure of immortality for ourselves. Well, I …

Hi There, Thanks for dropping by. Do you know anyone who thinks badly of you—or who believes they know exactly the kind of person you are but you know they’re wrong? And are you affected by the agendas of others—is your life impacted somehow by someone else’s questionable motives or ambitions? If so, then I want to encourage you today with a couple of thoughts that I believe God impressed me with during my spiritual focusing time this morning: 1. It only matters what God thinks about you because he’s …
