  • DMX for actual Electrical Engineers

    So it’s been coming up recently that our church media department has been buying “OpenDMX USB Dongles” for upwards of $80. I was mortified, especially after seeing this USB device, opening up the sheet metal project box and finding it to be a simple 2-stage USB to RS-485 protocol bridge with no programmable intelligence whatsoever.

  • Petra

    So a few weeks ago, I was doing cameras at church. Or maybe it was during the 6:33, our Tuesday men’s group. In either case, the subject was brought up in the sermon that after Jesus’ crucifiction, Peter had denied Jesus three times, and all that, he basically got really depressed, dropped his calling and […]

  • Phil Keaggy – Maker of the Universe

    So I happen to like good “cosmic” worship songs. Hymns about space and stars and stuff just kinda get to me. Last night, my dad was talking to a guy about a Phil Keaggy song that was taken from an older hymn titled “Maker of the Universe.” Overhearing the lyrics just blew me away, so […]

  • Cell Phone to Sound Board for only $20!

    I have successfully finished yet another garage-shop electronics project that actually WORKS! Tuesday, Pastor Mike at Rez announced that in two weeks, when they’re on their short-term missions trip to India, they’ll be performing yet another Skype call in to 6:33 pm. However, the last two or three times they’ve been anywhere, they’ve tried this, […]

  • Jazz Hands needs to OWN the Newsboys “Way Beyond Myself (Remix)”

    Let’s get WayFM’s TotalAxxess remix of Way Beyond Myself (Newsboys) on the top. Head to: http://newsboys.heroku.com/107 and click the Vote! link. Whoever wins the Newsboys Remix contest gets to have that cut on the newest collection release (which Newsboys has way too many of), AND they get a year of some free service…I don’t know what that […]

  • Joshua Bokelman’s Reboot Note

    Joshua Bokelman’s Reboot Note

    I never thought I see a note from Joshua Bokelman that actually siad to reboot a computer. Most everything of this nature and handwriting usually says something to the effect: “Never reboot or it will DIE!!”

  • Shepherd vs. Shepherd

    The flock: we can either have a shepherd who tends his flock and keeps them happy, well fed, healthy and safe. But a shepherd can also train his flock with strength. Life isn’t going to be all safety and rest. It will have hardship as well. We, as a flock can also be trained in […]

  • Why do we believe what we believe?

    So I just had a thought brought up by someone. I won’t get into details why, but pretty much it’s a questioning of my beliefs about stuff. Stuff like, “why is playing with ‘supposed’ demonic things dangerous?” and “why do I believe that following Jesus the best way for the non-eternal portion of our lives […]

  • More on Skype and Overhead Setups

    Well, last night at men’s 6:33 we had our Skype call from Argentina. And it worked…kind of. However, the connection they had down there was extremely poor and our own LAN wasn’t doing so hot for external connections either. However, we did like we had done for when they went to India. We bypassed audio […]

  • Idea for New Computer

    So we’re having this BIG thing at church where a group of probably seven to ten guys are going down to Argentina in about a month or so. They’re trying to set it up so that the Tuesday when we’re meeting and they are gone, they’ll Skype us during service and we’ll be able to […]
