For this Random Research Friday, I wanted to investigate gunsmithing. For those who might not know, gunsmithing is the profession of restoring, designing, and repairing firearms. Just as a car mechanic has to knowledgeable about different automobiles, it takes a lot of knowledge to become a good gunsmith. Firearms are probably one of the longest [...]
This month at IndyNDA we heard from Dan Rigsby (@DanRigsby) regarding OData. OData is a web protocol that allows for the querying of data as a service. OData is built upon REST principle of web services. REST is a move away from the complicated SOAP protocols that were popular in the 1990’s. Unfortunately SOAP is [...]
I have continued to think about what I would want in a Bible. I continued to think about Bible design after my Random Research Friday a couple of weeks ago where I researched a new note-taking type Bible.
I have continued to develop the idea. I recently compiled a list of qualities (both design and production) I would like to see in this Bible.
I was reading through the preface of my ESV Bible and read the following passage… The ESV also carries forward classic translation principles in its literary style. Accordingly it retains theological terminology – words such as grace, faith, justification, sanctification, redemption, regeneration, reconciliation, propitiation – because of their central importance for Christian doctrine and also [...]
Dig Deeper by Nigel Beynon and Andrew Sach is a very engaging book that sets out with the goal of giving Bible readers tools (mostly literary tools) to better study and understand the Bible. I really enjoyed this book, but to really understand it you have to read it through a couple of times. Also, [...]
Random Research Friday is taking a day of the week to explore a concept, product, idea, or anything that peaks my interest. My goal is to chose a topic I do not have vast experience in and just to learn more.
For the inaugural Random Research Friday, I thought I would explore a topic that I have been thing about for a while. The concept for a custom study Bible came from my own exploration of how I study. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am an avid note taker. But also I enjoy having multiple resources at my disposal at the time that I am studying.

At this last IndyNDA’s ASP.NET special interest group, we discussed a way to quickly prototype a website. This is one step past creating a quick sketch of a website on paper. This will let you layout and give basic style to a website design. We will utilize openly available web tools to help us. I assume you have some basic web design skills with both HTML and CSS.
This month’s IndyNDA meeting we heard from from Alan Stevens (@AlanStevens http://netcave.org) on “Does Your Code Tell a Story?”. His compared the analogy of writing novels to writing software. With great quotes on the subject, he was able to state some principles of software development. Some of these ideas are… Beauty is the ultimate defense [...]
Great picture that takes me back to my childhood…

I have been hooked on the new Jason Gray album. I can literally listen to each song without having to skip a song. Jason Gray uses very smooth and clever lyrics and rhymes to keep you interested. The sound of the songs are split. Half of the songs will remind you of a normal pop [...]
