  1. Space Fur - AACS Version

    Many of you are aware of the publication of an AACS processing key that can be used to decrypt any HD-DVD movie currently released. The MPAA is sending DMCA takedown notices left and right.

  2. Splitting a Git repository

    First some backstory...

  7. The road ahead

    When this is posted, my wedding ceremony will be underway. It's been a long wait but it was so worth it.

    Today I am marrying Deanne, the love of my life. We started dating about two and a half years ago. I can't say it's always been ...

  8. The Self-Distancing Christian

    I was reading this blog post from a friend of mine and it got me thinking. Why are Christians (including myself, of course) so ready to completely distance ourselves from society? If we are to make a difference, it will not come about as we rush into evangelistic conversations with ...
