hot air powers the point
I’m experimenting with the K9 WordPress theme. It’s written by Safirul Alredha, or “Zeo” of K2 fame, and is based on the K2 WordPress theme. After a little investigation, I’ve found that K9 leaves out a bunch of K2’s functionality:
Although I’ve grown attached to the first couple, I don’t really care about the latter three or four.
K9 sticks with K2’s use of blue and adds a bunch of speed. Wow!
I’m concerned. With a theme like this, I’ll need to focus more on content than appearance.
I’ll experiment a little longer, at least long enough to get my >>--> in the header. Maybe…
For now, my initial opinion is K9’s no dog.
Perhaps it is easier to never leave home. Never take risks. Never adapt to other cultures. Never fall in love with a people other than your own. We decided that was our fix. To get home and never ever leave again. It was just to painful to put everything we had into something that we eventually said goodbye to. Of course it’s not a reasonable solution. Especially considering I plan to leave again in less than three weeks. I’ve learned that not only do the things worth having require hard work, but they may even end before you are ready. —Ashley
Ashley attempts to “close the book” on her last year working at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic. Looks to me like the book isn’t finished.
I’m so proud of her (and a little bit jealous).
This week the Logan household has been performing science experiments. For example:
What about you? Performed any “science experiments” lately?
Dear _______,
I never write you letters.
That’s a weird way to open a mission trip letter. My youth minister/pastor gave me a form letter to follow but that felt even weirder. The truth is that I don’t write anyone letters and if I opened up this letter by pretending this is just the latest in a long chain of correspondence we’ve kept up oh these many years, that would feel as fake as when people run out of things to say and ask you questions like, “hot enough for you?” Wow, that was a really atrocious run on sentence, but I’m excited about this trip and I’m not going to let sentence structure stand in my way. —Stuff Christians LIke: #256
If you’re family or a friend, you’re likely getting a mission fundraising letter from one of my daughters right about now. That’s because two of them are going on extended mission trips this summer.
What you’re not getting is one that start like the letter above. Maybe you should… 
Stuff Christians Like describes the typical mission trip fundraising letter and offers an alternative, maybe one that could be more effective. Go read the whole letter and let me know — would it work for you?
There is value in staying ignorant. —Robert Scoble
But it depends on your goals. Go read the context.

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who have laid down their lives in the cause of freedom, resolve that they will forever be remembered by a grateful Nation, and pray that our country may always prove worthy of the sacrifices they have made. —Prayer for Peace, Memorial Day, 2008
I must brag: My inbox is empty! This is especially nice before a long weekend.

According to Danial Ha on the Disqus Blog:
Yes! Exactly what I’ve been saying. Maybe Disqus will get it implemented before Intense Debate does (if they ever do).
I continue to be amazed that this is controversial.
