Trying out the MarsEdit blogging tool to put together a few highlights from 2014. Works okay, on the whole, but doesn’t have the ability to easily embed YouTube videos or do Amazon lookups etc. Most enjoyable books of 2014 Didn’t really have have a lot of time to read much this year but the following…

2014 was a pretty hard year – one hundred miles an hour pretty much 100% of the time with work, home, travel, church things, and health. Looking forward in 2015 to getting a few new projects underway, finishing off some other projects (including the book on networked theology), and making sure I take my annual…

A week or so ago I renewed the greenflame.org domain name for the tenth time. Originally I acquired the domain name and web hosting to experiment with a web site for keeping track of various interesting web links and to have my own email address (pre-gMail). I started using phpWebsite, before starting a blog to…

2012 has been a hard year, hence the lack of regular blog posts. However, I’m hoping 2013 will be a marked improvement and will aim to get back into blogging mode in the new year. In the meantime have a good Christmas and a happy New Year.
