I was listening to Passion: Awakening recently on my way into work.  Christi Nockels sings a song called “Healing Is In Your Hands”.  I was absolutely moved by this song – it was amazing!  Nothing can separate us from the love of God – what mercy, what love he shows to us!

I found myself raising my hands in worship – in the midst of Harrisburg traffic – tears streaming down my cheeks.  Thank you Lord, for the love you’ve shown to us.

I‘m a iPhone At Bat user. I can’t get Phils games on video, as I live in the bcast area (Carlisle, PA – 17013). Weekday games are shown on CSN Philly. I get CSN Mid-Atl for the O’s & Nats. I checked w/ Comcast, Dish and Direct, they don’t offer CSN Philly.

On Sun, I watch Phils on WLYH. MLB.TV won’t help, as games are blacked out. Why does MLB.tv &At Bat app say I’m in the bcast area, when I’m not most of the time? Thank you for your time and assistance – this is truly a frustrating matter!

According to reports, the bill includes “compromise” language which intends to allay fears over abortion coverage being provided with tax-payer money.

You and I disagree on many issues; however, I respect your stand on abortion – much in the same way I appreciated and admired your father’s willingness to run contrary to the DNC position on abortion.

Allow me to be clear – any “compromise” on abortion funding isn’t as much a compromise as it is a slippery slope to federal funding for the heinous murder of the unborn child. Allowing states to exempt themselves from abortion funding isn’t a victory for the rights of the unborn child. It’s a shady attempt to appease a vocal majority of Americans who will stand on principal to protect those who cannot fight for themselves.

Meaningful healthcare reform is needed in our country, but the versions offered by the current Administration and Congress falls WAY short of anything meaningful. Meaningful reform which reduces heathcare costs should include important issues like tort reform and government regulation.

While the current version precludes a public option for healthcare, the American public is not naive to the desire of administration and congressional leaders to include such an option, whether it be now, or in the future. Should the government overstep its bounds and enter a sphere appropriately occupied only by private enterprise, the government will thereby be both provider and watchdog. Such a system has no checks and balances, and will ultimately be corrupted and ineffectively.

I urge you to vote NO to the current bill. Senator, I’m sure you understand that compromise isn’t possible in dealing with issues of the unborn child. Compromise on firm principles is never a means to an end – it is moral defeat!

VOTE NO

This is story of a boy – a boy with technology failures.  A boy with his 2 technology failures…

After a firmware upgrade, my router (A Multitech RouteFinder 830) refused to pass external VPN packets to clients in my network.  To add insult to injury, my backup drive (A LaCie Quadra 500GB) failed yesterday.  I’ve been thinking about a Time Capsule for some time, and now seems like the best time!  The newest member of the Danner technology family is a Time Capsule!

What is a Time Capsule you ask?  Well, it’s pictured here.  Yep, a shiny Apple on top – but that’s not the cool part.  It is a wireless router – like a Linksys or Netgear you might have in your home.  But that’s not all!  It also has a hard drive inside – for backups.  My MacBook Pro and Wendy’s iMac can both use that Hard Drive to automatically back up using Time Machine – a backup utility included with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard).

But wait – there’s more!  Notice the USB port on the back panel?  I can also connect a printer to share among all my computers.  I mulled the 1 TB model, but decided against it because of price (almost $500).  I picked up the Time Capsule for under $300 – about the same price as a new hard drive and a Linksys Router.

Side note: I picked mine up at Amazon and signed up for a 3 month trial of Amazon Prime.  For $79 a year, I can receive 2 day shipping on products purchased through Amazon.  I purchase enough stuff online, so I think this will pay off in the long run – plus it’s a business expense!   Whoo hoo!
