|bd| Linux > V3
I love Linux. I just love it. I've been using Kubuntu for several months now, and I wish I didn't have to boot XP. I wish Softwrap didn't exist and that Lexmark would get with the program and write Linux drivers; they are the only things keeping me tied to …

It's been a while since I have blogged, so I thought I'd post an update on my life, for those of you who don't care to know.
First off, I am noticing that my banner's picture is rather outdated. I'd make a new one, but it takes a long time …|bd| Stemming the Idiot Tide
You've all heard it for months now: "This isn't a small site anymore.". And it's true. The number of members has ballooned. But somehow, the number of regular users hasn't seen such drastic growth. Why?

Wealth! Fame! Power!
Well, not really. But my family did go on a weekend trip to Bellevue, Washington, a ritzy suburb of Seattle, to visit some old friends of the family. (More on this further down the page.)J. Benton Bell is 92 years old, and his wife isn't much …|bd| My First Sermon
On Sunday night I preached my first sermon! Now, this doesn't necessarily mean I plan to be a preacher; I really don't know. But I think it is good for Christians teens to preach at least once or twice, because you will usually need to sometime in your life (for …

Due to our ongoing painting adventure, I am now working from <a href="http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/4407/img6010pk0.jpg">Fresh Air Studios</a>!
Meh.Anyway, my brothers and I painted most of the school room with the wrong color of paint, and so now there is more work to do.The game queue seems to have …
