Two years ago, I was visiting the new Infuze Magazine and checking out their new features. One of the features was Prodigy, a serialized novel by Robin Parrish. I loved it, mostly because Robin watches many of the same movies as I do and has much of the same tastes. The book played like a mystery, had elements of The Matrix and other futuristic sci-fi movies in it, and was action-packed at every turn.

An article I found in today's local news site was about a student who spoke out for his faith. I definitely urge you to read this badly-written, biased story.

What's wrong with it? Well, it seems to propose what Ben Kessler said was wrong. It only mentions people who were disgruntled with his statement. Was Ben Kessler the only one who has these opinions? Hardly.

Yesterday I was very glad to hear that a good friend of mine, Michael Z., is planning on going to the U of M (not Michigan, you sillies!). Oh wait, that is, if he doesn't join a Socialist friend in Uganda, apparently.

The reason I'm excited about it is because he will be living closer to my place of residence. Therefore, hopefully we can hang out and watch movies more often. He can come over for dinner more often too. That'll be awesome because I miss him. And he's had a hard year, so I'm glad he's feeling ready to go to college.

This is killing me.

My iPod hasn't worked for the last two or three weeks and now my computer seems to be having problems now too.

What's going on? Please pray that things start working here soon or God tells me what he's trying to say. My time to work on projects such as inReview.net is limited enough without spending all that time on fixing my iPod.

Here's a quick blog post.

My iPod wasn't working all week. I don't know what was the problem, but I think Windows decided not to play nice with Apple this week.

In less than an hour last night I launched a website: aNewWayToLive.org. I got to go out for drinks afterward too. (It looked cooler, but we had to scale the site back a bit this morning.)

I recently picked up the latest from Sara Groves, and one line really struck me:

Loving a person just the way they are
It's no small thing

Some of my favorite things from GMA week so far have not been great events, but how God is working in the lives of close friends.

So, y'all, you won't see me the next week at my usual haunt here. That's because this week is GMA Music Week 2006. That's right, it's time for tons of interviews, showcases, and networking. For what? Of course, it's the impending release of inReview.net, which will probably be here anyday.

Well, yesterday I went to see the house that I'm living in starting in September. It was cool. Right now, it looks like a bunch of drunk college guys live there, so it's not fun to look at. But, next year, it'll be great. It's a bit smaller, but it will still be tons of room to work with. The location isn't as good for public transportation, but I can live with another 10-15 minutes to get home.

You know it's the first day of spring in Minnesota when:

• It's about 22 degrees (Farenheight) on a Monday night.
• When hungry, we still went for McDonald's soft serve ice cream.
• We still loved it while walking home.

It was great.

(I don't know why I keep telling these types of stories. Maybe I think I'm crazy. Maybe I think I can take it better than you. Or maybe it's just too cold to think sane.)
