About

Disequilibrium

"Tom doesn't need our worn out clichés. Tom needs the truth of the gospel message packaged in the unwavering love of the messenger. Tom needs to be invited into our homes, with his husband and kids, where a great steak, some good wine is waiting on…

A fun little (free) album

If you need a fun little soundtrack for this gray Saturday afternoon, hop on over to Bandcamp and listen/download "Where Eyes Don't Go" by The Gray Havens. It's a wonderful little EP that's free for now!

Gospel Deeps (a review)

I started following Jared Wilson a few years ago at his blog, Gospel-Driven Church, when I first got hired on with my church as a college pastor. I had felt a bit frantic, not knowing what on earth I was doing. I scavenged the internet for resources…

Making Windows 8 Suck Less

A while back I posted a very brief overview of Windows 8 after I had test-driven it for about a week. Alas, it was a pretty negative review, primarily because of the fact that Windows 8 is such a touch-centric operating system. It's both a strength…

The Last Superhero (A Review)

The Last Superhero, courtesy of The Blazing Center. The Last Superhero truly is a novel of Danger & Supense, as the cover suggests. It's a fun little novel published on Kindle, and you can get it for $0.99! The story is the self-aware and sarcastic…

Windows Ate.

Tomorrow is the big launch day for Microsoft's brand new iteration of their flagship OS, Windows 8. Perhaps you're asking yourself, "Should I upgrade?" Perhaps you haven't even asked yourself the question, and you're going to upgrade because newer is…

Roots Run Deeper

Perhaps you've never heard of Jadon Lavik. I hadn't until about 5 years ago. That was when he released his phenomenal album "Roots Run Deep." If you haven't listened to it, I'd recommend it: a beautiful collection of tastefully repainted hymns. But I…

Time Travel

What would you do if you could time travel? Designer Alex Varanese has the brilliant idea of taking all of our tech gadgets back to the seventies, repainting them with a touch of super-saturated 1977 goodness, and then selling them to the…
