Hanlon’s Razor
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Sage advice, I think.

WWKIP is June 14
WWKIP Day is just around the bend.. “What?!” You ask. You don’t know what WWKIP Day is? Well, you learn something new every day: World Wide Knit in Public Day.
There might even be a meet-up, knit-in-public event near you. Check out the website: http://www.wwkipday.com/

Coming Soon: General Synod 2008
The yearly General Synod of the Reformed Church in America (RCA) will be taking place in Holland, MI from June 5th through the 10th and I have the privilege of serving as the facilitator for the Seminarian Seminar again this year. In short, it’s an opportunity to take around 20 seminarian students and walk them […]

As the six members of team Dunningwut? prepare for Ragbrai this year, we’re able to celebrate a new sponsor who is generously sponsoring our jerseys: MichFab! Thanks a ton!
We’ve also had the privilege of having our logo professionally designed for this year’s jersey. You’re seeing it here first. Designed by Cal Chopp, a wonderful up-and-coming […]
I understand the sentiment, but…

BSJ #2
I know, it looks a LOT like the last one I made (I used the same yarn) but I found some really fun little engraved heart buttons… neat, huh? I actually don’t think it turned out as well as the last one, but I’m still happy with it. This is a great pattern […]

Liberation -vrs- Limitation
I’m currently in the middle of a sermon series that I’ve never preached before: A series on the 10 commandments.

Which bellows as the sea does in a tempest,
If by opposing winds ‘t is combated.
The infernal hurricane that never rests

Whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them.

There are the shrieks, the plaints, and the […]
I want one….
A Truck that Runs on Coffee!
OK, I have no clue how much better it is for the environment than gas… indeed, it’s probably not. But I want one! The version in the article is a beast and I’d like my “gassification unit” attached to a smart car, but either way. Ingenious!
