New Look

sroche — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:34:10 +0000

Yeah I changed it … again. I’m an inveterate tinkerer. Let me know what you think!

Thanks to Pat for the spiffy banner. I got the images from Stock Vault and Christian Pics.

I used Palette Generator to get my color scheme based on the banner. I used iStlyr to tweak my CSS.

Drive-By

sroche — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:48:47 +0000

I was a victim of Drive-By-Shooting Sunday by the Men With Pens. It was all voluntary though. James and Harry are some sharp free lance writers who also happen to run a great play by post RPG I’m in, Escaping Reality.
They gave me some pointers on how to make this here blog mo’ betta. For the most part it strikes me as great advice. I shall no doubt be taking it, since I did ask. I don’t know how to feel about some of it, like trimming down my blogroll. I do need to do some maintenance, but I read all of these on a regulr basis. Maybe I’ll move them to a links page? Let me know what you think of any of their advice. You read this so your opinions count and if I can take their tough love I can take yours.
If you’d like to have someone really take a hard look at your site, sign up. If you need someone to write something for you, hire them. If you want good writing advice read their stuff.

500th Post

sroche — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:08:51 +0000

I’d like to do something really profound here, this being my five hundredth and all, but I don’t feel quite up to it. I thought about linking to some of my most commented on posts, but there was no easy way I could find to do that.
As it was the five hundredth was almost an Archangel podcast and that would have been fitting since it has become the biggest raison d’etre for this here site. I couldn’t get the audio edited last night though so that didn’t happen. Yeah, yeah I should have built a buffer. My apologies to those of you who are waiting on Episode 11, it should pop up tonight.
As it is I need to engage in a little writing as therapy. I know I should be writing interesting posts about spiritual stuff, since that’s supposedly what this site is about, but frankly I started blogging as a way to spew my emotions and along the way picked up some readers. Thanks for reading. For some reason it’s comforting to know that even crap like this isn’t going into the ether unignored. I have folks that read this that I consider friends, some I consider brothers. For you and you know who you are, thanks in advance for the prayers and kind thoughts. If you know me at all you know I’m prone to bouts like this.
So why am I blue? Well, I suppose the primary reason is I’m freakin’ tired. I was up at 4:30 this morning sending my wife to the mountains for three days. I’ll miss her (reason two), especially when it comes to the more mundane things like putting a meal on the table (which she does so well) or helping brush the Rochelings’ teethses, so there’s that too. Where she’s going is to a home schooling training session. She’ll be tutoring our homeschool groups’ kids in grammar starting in the fall. This will pay actual money, though not a lot, and I don’t mind telling you that she’s a bit nervous, in spite of the fact that she is hands down one of the best teachers I know. Still, nervous is not a bad thing.
There are a host of other reasons, including a sense of being overwhelmed both by things I want to do and things I don’t want to do. The less details there the better so forgive me my crypticality (yeah I made that word up, go poetic license go!)
Still I’ve got good things going on. We’re moving (eventually, living amongst boxes is reason three) to a much larger house in the same great neighborhood. Folks are listening to my podcast. I’m having a blast in an online RPG. My spiritual life is about the same as ever, but I am being challenged at church when it comes to thinking about how I can be involved in the community when it comes to matters of social justice. So while it is not “all good”, I really should be counting it all joy.
So I end this entry, actually one in spirit with the reason I started blogging, a little better off than I was before I started it. Seems appropriate enough to me.

Spitball Politics

sroche — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:20:12 +0000

Since there are no good political blogs out there, Pat decided to start one that appeals to our sensibilities. Spitball Politics is what we’re calling it for now. It’s got a bit of whimsy to it. Check it out. We’re both DINOs in the sense that we aren’t your typical liberal mouth foamers. Pat is a former right wing nutcase. I’m just a recovering slacker.

Hen’s Teeth

sroche — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 05:01:04 +0000

Having now assisted in raising five of them I can now verify that hens in fact have no teeth. So when I say that I will be scarcer than them I know whereof I speak. Work is busy with a barbaric YAWPING B!!!! Neither blog is likely to see a post from me. I really want to add to my Democrat post in addition to the other inanities I post here. It will happen. Not this week perhaps, but in the words of the current governator of CAHL-EE-FORNYA, “AH’LL BEE BAHK!!”.

CSS Help

So I’m tweaking as you can see and I need some help from my gurus. I want to push the right-most column over so that there’s no white space on the right of it. I’d also like the plue to run the length of the page in each outside column. Also any other MT suggestions anyone has would be coveted. (Cue suggestion to switch to WP…)

Mathetes Award

sroche — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:32:45 +0000

By way of encouraging this blogs religious tendencies (a dangerous thing at best) Casey has blessed me with the Mathetes award. According to the blog Management By God who originated it, mathetes “is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great Commission) it to make more disciples. I’d like to take the opportunity to award five other bloggers with this award and badge for acting in the role of a disciple of Christ. These five all share the message in their own creative ways, and I admire them all for what they do.”
I’m honored and as the way things usually work, I am to pass this on to five other bloggers whom I feel are deserving. These folks should pass the love on as they see fit.
RC at Strange Culture for his deep looks at faith and media.
Pink aka Bear at Pinakidion a long time friend and ~~certifiable~~ certified man of God.
Dan at Cerulean Sanctum who consistently brings the knowledge.
Steve at Theological Musings who consistently raises the level of discussion to higher heights.
And the Thinklings as a group, their being no more welcoming, touching, and most importantly gospel oriented group blog in the god-blogosphere.
So there you have it. If you’re a person of faith or an honest seeker, or heck even an “opponent” you could do little better than to check these folks out. Careful though, you might learn something.

MCF posted this and I love me some lists, so here you go.

Mine.
3) When was the last time you kissed someone?
This morning, kissing each of my children in turn and finishing with the wife.

Ooooh. Don’t remember. I’m gonna say the local kid’s museum and it’s been at least a year.
13) Who came over last?
To my house I guess that would be our landlord’s electrician to install a security light. Until then we were insecure.
14) Who/what do you hate/dislike currently?
Hate’s a mighty strong word. I’m gonna say Brussels Sprouts.
15) What are you listening to?
People in the hall. Sometimes I forget to queue up the next thing on my iPod after I sync it. There, NPR Shuffle.

I could go all “Things don’t make you happy.” but I’d like a decent newer commuter vehicle with AC.

My kids, my wife, and learning to juggle three clubs.

The grocery store, Harris Teeter specifically.

I’ll echo MCF and say my college buds. I see some of them but only rarely. I miss them all though, even the pains in the neck.

33) What was your favorite subject in school?

43) Ever been to Disneyland/world?
Yup and much like NY I’d like to experience it more freestyle.
44) Last thing you cooked?
I’ll go with customizing a pizza (adding veggies to a meat pizza from Wally World’s deli. I love to cook from scratch, but it doesn’t happen very often.

Well, we’ve arrived at Friday again and not a whole lot of substance on the ol’ bloggy-blog.
There is some action at my tumblelog.
I am going to be participating in the Rocky Mountain Ride shows so that should be interesting. I’m sure we’ll talk about the Republican “debate” a bit and who knows what all. The religious show will continue to find its way. We’ll be talking about simple churches aka house churches at some point in the near future, hopefully with a special guest. Maybe a bit about the religious right with the passing of Mr. Falwell.
So go outside, enjoy the beautiful weather, and please call in to one of our lovely podcasts!!!

Blogtalk Radio

sroche — Wed, 09 May 2007 19:06:20 +0000

So I’ve been bitten by the Blogtalk Radio bug and will be taking a stab at hosting my own show. It’s initially scheduled for Saturday mornings at 8:00 am EST. My first show will be this Saturday.
What’s the format?
Glad you asked. It will largely be “life stuff”, but I also want to get the word out about cool podsafe music. That’s something that’s harder to do in a text blog. I’m keeping it short. It’s scheduled for a fifteen minute segment at the mo’ but it might go over that. Given my gift for gab I can’t imagine it will go under.
Can I call in?
Again glad you asked. If you’re up that early and care to call (apologies to my buds in earlier time zones) the number is (646) 478-4936. It’s a live show and while I don’t anticipate callers at that hour I won’t turn you away. If you’ve been listening to The Ride you know it’s a pretty cool concept/format/webtool that allows bloggers to do a podcast of sorts.
So can I listen to an archived version?
Boy you’re good with the questions. The feed is here and you can use whatever podcatcher you want to download it. I hope it will be dl worthy. This is an experiment so we’ll see.
Any more questions?

Trying to decide on a “look”. That look may well indeed be UGLY until I figure out some things. Playing With CSS is a post from: Spiritual Tramp If you enjoyed this post, consider subscribing to my RSS feed, either by reader or by e-mail. While you’re at it, connect with me on Twitter, too.

500th Post

sroche — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 23:00:00 +0000

As it was the five hundredth was almost an Archangel podcast and that would have been fitting since it has become the biggest raison d’etre for this here site. I couldn’t get the audio edited last night though so that didn’t happen. Yeah, yeah I should have built a buffer. My apologies to those of you who are waiting on Episode 11, it should pop up tonight.

As it is I need to engage in a little writing as therapy. I know I should be writing interesting posts about spiritual stuff, since that’s supposedly what this site is about, but frankly I started blogging as a way to spew my emotions and along the way picked up some readers. Thanks for reading. For some reason it’s comforting to know that even crap like this isn’t going into the ether unignored. I have folks that read this that I consider friends, some I consider brothers. For you and you know who you are, thanks in advance for the prayers and kind thoughts. If you know me at all you know I’m prone to bouts like this.

So why am I blue? Well, I suppose the primary reason is I’m freakin’ tired. I was up at 4:30 this morning sending my wife to the mountains for three days. I’ll miss her (reason two), especially when it comes to the more mundane things like putting a meal on the table (which she does so well) or helping brush the Rochelings’ teethses, so there’s that too. Where she’s going is to a home schooling training session. She’ll be tutoring our homeschool groups’ kids in grammar starting in the fall. This will pay actual money, though not a lot, and I don’t mind telling you that she’s a bit nervous, in spite of the fact that she is hands down one of the best teachers I know. Still, nervous is not a bad thing.

There are a host of other reasons, including a sense of being overwhelmed both by things I want to do and things I don’t want to do. The less details there the better so forgive me my crypticality (yeah I made that word up, go poetic license go!)

Still I’ve got good things going on. We’re moving (eventually, living amongst boxes is reason three) to a much larger house in the same great neighborhood. Folks are listening to my podcast. I’m having a blast in an online RPG. My spiritual life is about the same as ever, but I am being challenged at church when it comes to thinking about how I can be involved in the community when it comes to matters of social justice. So while it is not “all good”, I really should be counting it all joy.

So I end this entry, actually one in spirit with the reason I started blogging, a little better off than I was before I started it. Seems appropriate enough to me.

They gave me some pointers on how to make this here blog mo’ betta. For the most part it strikes me as great advice. I shall no doubt be taking it, since I did ask. I don’t know how to feel about some of it, like trimming down my blogroll. I do need to do some maintenance, but I read all of these on a regulr basis. Maybe I’ll move them to a links page? Let me know what you think of any of their advice. You read this so your opinions count and if I can take their tough love I can take yours.

If you’d like to have someone really take a hard look at your site, sign up. If you need someone to write something for you, hire them. If you want good writing advice read their stuff.
