That first page called ‘Notice to Reader’ that comes with your accounting stuff would be better named “Don’t look at me if you get sued for your numbers” because even if you pay an accountant and they screw it up, that page washes away all their liability. One day last year, I found myself stuck in a Canada Revenue Agency…
What Happened to the Salty Pillar Witness in Genesis 19?
If Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back, what happened to the witness who saw it? When I read my Bible sometimes stuff really comes alive and I’m right there in the situation.

Licensed to Fail
In order to get your license to succeed, you must first get your license to fail from an accredited school of hard knocks. I used to look at my seemingly endless streams of failures, false starts, half successes and extrinsic accomplisments as ‘bad things’.

Free Android CalDav Calendar Sync with Owncloud
After a long, long, time, the solution to syncing my Owncloud calendar to Android was bloody easy. The reason why I couldn’t get it done is because it seems that google (no surprise) blocks these kind of tools from their app place. They like to have things like your daily schedule and whereabouts nicely available for exploiting. If you don’t…
