The riches of this world are fleeting

Last night our house was broken into (burgled, if you will). Fortunately neither of us were home, they didn't do too much damage and they didn't take anything that isn't easily replaced. They got a couple TVs, XBox, my guitar (grrr...), DVDs, laptop, etc... Not the most pleasant experience, but it could have been worse.

Here's a link to the pics:

Tim gets a new roommate for the weekend

Since we're going to be out of town for the weekend, Tim graciously took the Hun in. The poor fool...

The Religious Debate

Brian sent me this last night. He also warned me that I was raised Calvinist (implying that I was predestined (so to speak) to preference DOS/Windows).

He may be more right than he knows. I just recently switched to linux (a free, open-source, operating system for those of you that have no idea what this post is about). Linux is clearly even more Calvinist than DOS in that there are no clear steps and it is not an easy struggle :). However, at its core it's a Lutheran Reformist in that it emphasizes free, open access to the source [of salvation].
