Rather than advice...

What is better than advice?



People tend to resist advice. Well, most people. The clear majority of people.



So what is more effective? Good question.

W.E.B DeBoius

W.E.B., in his autobiography, talks about a 22-year-old being "fully mature". Why isn't that the case?

Why doesn't marriage mature men?

Marriage is supposed to mature a person. (write more precisely, thoroughly)



Why doesn't marriage mature more men, then? Of course the question is wrong.



Why don't men mature in marriage?



It is a matter of personal responsibility. (more on this)



Why do many men become less mature after marrying?



Perhaps TD Jakes is right: there is a focused attack on men and manhood. If "the devil" can take down men, he takes down the whole family, society, future.

Web 2.0 is here!

Well, it's been here for awhile. I just haven't gotten around to writing about it. But, anyways, it's here. And here are some Web 2.0 applications I am using:

del.icio.us
43things
30boxes
box.net
spongecell
goowy
yourminis (part of goowy)
the new blogger (obviously)
wordpress
flickr
Hmm. There are others. I'll post 'em when I remember them.

TNT is a blog (!)

I have finally moved TNT to a blog.

It used to be a static webpage which meant I would have to re-write the html and upload the new page each time I wanted to post a new TNT show.

That's so Web 1.0.

Now I can update the TNT page from any computer (that's connected). I don't need the html file. I don't need Dreamweaver. I don't need to ftp the file to my host. Subscribing is easy.

Here's the process now:

  1. Make a poster frame
  2. Upload the .mov and poster frame to the host, any host.
  3. Make a new post on the TNT blog page that links to the new files.

Oh, there are easier ways. I could upload the video to Veoh or GoogleVideo, copy the "embed" code and paste it into a new blog post.

And I tried that. But the quality of the video was below my standards horrifying. You've watched video at YouTube/GoogleVideo/Veoh/etc. It's very easy to upload, find, view, embed the video. But the quality... whew. Stinky. I don't know why that is. I think Flash video is capable of high quality. It plays as it loads, so file size is not a concern. I don't know.

Go the beginning of the TNT episodes. I have posted a Veoh flash video before a Quicktime version so you can see the difference.

Talk to you later.

On Bible's practicality

If the Bible is practical then the promises therein are practical.



The command, "Honor your father and mother", is stated as though it were a choice. Simply a choice. And if it is wholly, or even partially, a choice, then the promise that accompanies it is wholly or partially practical:



"So that your life may be long."



Could it be that it means that bitterness, selfishness, and pride all work to shorten your life? Could it be that it is not a supernatural promise?

Is there one cause of all trouble?

what is the cause of the trouble in the world?



...

"People just don't care. Apathy is the cause."



What's the cause of the apathy?



I would submit that if Personal Responsibility is the answer to everything, then the lack of personal responsibility would be the reason for any problems.



Where does sin come in? How does sin come into this question? Personal responsibility, of course.

Beliefs

What you belive is all that matter.
Beliefs get us through tough situation (...get us IN...)
Beliefs could be counter to reality (...be in line with reality)
Beliefs affect thinking

Everything is a battle of ideas
Everything is a battle for belief
Therefore the weapon is persuasion.
