The first-ever tomcottar(dot)org online contest was a great success! Great creativity! After much consideration in a difficult situation I realized a few things.
1. I should have been more congnizant of Buffy (Spike Is My Personal Example) and Fight Club (Soap Inspires Mindless Pummeling of Enemies). Dang.
2. Personal emails sent to me asking "Is this [...]

The Allure of Hope
At the risk of sounding more metro than necessary, I began reading The Allure of Hope this morning. Written by a chick, for a chick. (I have to use the word ‘chick’ or I’ll lose my ManCard for reading this thing…) It’s part of my Fat Rendering process.
So far, it’s really great. Jan Meyers talks [...] -
Rabbit in Your Headlights
Over at The Refinery, there’s, hopefully, a great discussion brewing on the video below. It’s Unkle’s Rabbit in Your Headlights vid (sung by Thom York of Radiohead). It’s a little disturbing to watch, but the payoff at the end is fantastic.
If you’re familiar at all with Thom Yorke, or Radiohead in general, you know that [...] -
The Rasterbator?
Granted, you’re probably reading this because the name piqued your interest…
This great little (free) program can easily take your favorite pics and blow them up to 2-story-house size and make your printer kick out hundreds of 8.5 x 11sheets to make it happen. Basically, it takes a raster-based image (like a JPG ….lots of tiny [...] -

"It pains me to see the beautiful truths of Scripture being plastered about like beer advertisements. Many think it is wise to "get the word out" in this way but, believe that we are really just inoculating [...]

S.I.M.P.E.
This could be fun! Since Scott M brought it up, I’ll offer a box full of goodies to whomever comes up with the closest guess to what S.I.M.P.E. stands for in my Model for Rendering Fat.
Take a guess…serious or silly…if no one comes close, the most creative answer will take the prize of assorted [...] -
Foto Friday: Rendering Fat
If you’ve read my post on Rendering Fat, you’ll be happy to know that the process has been long this week…Everything in my life MUST fit into four categories, or I’m chunking it. My 24-hour plate is the only one I have and, since this is not a buffet, I only have so much room. [...]

Quotable Monday: 9.17.2007
I am blessed to have a handful of intimately close friendships that keep me alive.
They keep me sane.
They keep me accountable.
Last week, I got an email from one of my Fight Club-loving friends asking "How can I pray for you?" Before I had time to [...] -
Quotable Monday: 9.9.2007
Worship is where I’m at today, kiddies. Although volumes have been written about it, I have yet to find a better description than the words of Louie Giglio: "Worship is turning our hearts affection and our minds attention to God". Worship is proclaiming the worth-ship of God. And, of course, that doesn’t just happen when [...]
