Since I have moved my bible posts over to I figured I should do something to promote them here at fingertoe.com. So, if you look to the left side of the main page, you should see the last few entries.

Blake Bergstrom is a pretty good sport. He emailed Kevin Rossen discussing his newly found infamy

Thank God for His GRACE!!!� After talking with God about this whole thing, He let me know that when it happened� all of heaven fell to their side, they started beating the ground, with tears streaming down their face, and Lot was running around pinching himself, and all the heavenly hosts roared with laughter�just like you did!!!!
I installed a whole bunch of new Firefox extensions today. I am pretty jazzed about them.
Gcached allows you do right click on a link and retrieve the google cache of a page. It always seems like you find a lot of 404 errors when you look at some obscure webpages. It would be nice to be able to right click and pull up the cache of these broken pages.
Textmarker is a highlighter for web pages. It is handy because you can highlight several passages on a website. It also makes it possible to use window's copy/paste functionality to copy all of the highlighted material at once.
I also installed a gmail notifier.
I love this guy's expression when he realizes what he said...

Linux, open source power call center for Katrina, Rita victimsAs Hurricane Rita bears down on the Gulf Coast, there is at least one fear that can be put aside. If families get separated, they can quickly locate each other from any phone by calling Contact Loved Ones, a free service powered by an open source Asterisk PBX system and MySQL database running on Debian Linux.
Eric S. Raymond writes about his Microsft recruiting him. Speaks for itself:
Armed and Dangerous � Blog Archive � Microsoft tries to recruit me
Tonight at work, I suggested that a coworker start a blog, I invested 2 or 3 minutes setting up a blogger account for her.
5 minutes later, I checked her website out, and Linda is a blogger.
If you want a blog, I would be happy to help you out. Let me know. It is easy. (Really)
I plan to build an Asterisk box so that I can do fun projects like this:
THE TELECRAPPER 2000 TELEMARKETER INTERCEPTION SYSTEM
I just need a hard drive and the project is as good as done!
Tip for all Christian bloggers: Be sure to keep an eye on the ads served by Google's adsense. Many Christian blogs are now running ads for a book claiming that Christ was invented after his death.
I put www.authorhouse.com on my adsense block list.
Whenever I see an inappropriate ad, I plan to click through and make sure it is innappropriate, and then alert the blogger to it's presence. This way I can get the URL to ban from my blog, and I get the blogger a few cents for his trouble.
Probably a bad advertizing stratagy for these companies in the long run. They are paying to get themselves blackballed.
I planted my first Geocache last week. Surprizingly, notbody has reported finding it yet.
(GCQCXR) Day Mountain View by fingertoe and daveygravey
I have been riding the Mountain bike quite a bit lately.
When the City, State and Federal Governments are hopeless to help, the local church does not fail. This story is starting to shine through even in mainstream media reporting that I have seen.
Monday Morning Insight Weblog: Rick Warren Tackles Katrina"I believe God can bring good out of bad any time," he says. "He turns crucifixions into resurrections. And I think we're seeing that here. I'm seeing three major things as I looked yesterday in Houston, where we were actually, on the floor of the Astrodome. There were 20,000 people there, but the 20,000 people there aren't the real story. There are 150,000 being assimilated into Houston right now by churches."
I feel bad posting this, but I cannot resist.
I wish more people where willing to put their lives on hold to help. Mr. Penn should be commended for his efforts. On the other hand, He should probably work with a professional, and leave his cameraman at home.
Herald Sun: Sean Penn's rescue bid sinks [05sep05]With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"
The Monday morning quarterbacking from the media is out of control. This is a very messy situation, and It is not easy to evacuate a city when the entire supporting infrastructure has been destroyed.
The only decent coverage I have heard on this disaster response has been from Moody radio. They have interviewed a lot of people who are in the trenches fighting the battle. Love and compassion still exist in America, and it is flowing to the victims of this tragedy.
Venomous finger pointing is not going to change the past, and it is going to fuel bitterness and divisiveness. Everyone needs to work together to make an impact on the lives of those effected.
World stunned as US struggles with Katrina - Yahoo! News
"I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering," said Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, as he watched a cricket match in Colombo, Sri Lanka."Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is."
I suscpect that the stories of evil are being reported, while the stories of good are not. Can anyone point me to the stories of people taking care of one another?
We take so much for granted in this country. The tragedy in New Orleans goes to show us that without our infrastructure we are no different than a third world country. Actually, we are quite a bit worse in many ways.
The foundation of our civilization can be destroyed in a few hours.
I pray for the recovery of these poor folks. I also pray that we find a firmer foundation to base our civilization on.
