So I'm No Blogger

Thu, 01 May 2008 16:13:09 -0700

If you're reading this item, it's because you got to my site for some reason other than to read my most recent posts. The reason I know this is because I basically don't have recent posts, so how could you be here to read them?

Yep, I confess, I'm no blogger. No urge to post stuff here all the time. No urge to create a following of people who read what is on my mind. No personal agenda to push. No professional status to promote. No compelling reason to do any of that. And frankly, no time to even try.

But what is here represents a small subset of some stuff I find interesting or important -- kinda my partial collection of thoughts, quotes, links, etc. My del.icio.us links actually are more current than anything else.

So there you have it. I'm no blogger.

Princess Bride Party

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:34:44 -0700

Start: 2006/11/04 - 5:00pm

End: 2006/11/04 - 10:00pm

Timezone: Etc/GMT+7

So many of my friends and acquaintances love the movie Princess Bride, it would be wrong NOT to have a party! Brad W came up with the idea of having copies of the script available for people to act out the scenes alongside the showing of the movie -- kinda like movie-karaoke!

So let's do it! I propose 5pm, Saturday November 4th, 2006 at my place!

A Brief History of my Life

Born to San Diegan parents serving with SIL as linguists in Colombia, South America.
Lived at Lomalinda.
Put my faith in Jesus Christ at the age of eight, or maybe before.
Moved to La Mesa, CA at the age of nine; member of San Diego First Church of the Nazarene.
Attended Parkway Jr. High, Christian High School, where I used my first computer, the Exidy Sorcerer, and Point Loma Nazarene College (which is now a university), obtaining a degree in Computer Science and a Secondary Credential in Math and Computers.
Married "up" to an amazing woman named Rhoda ;-)
Lived in south Los Angeles County for 10 years; member of Emmanuel Reformed Church in Paramount, CA. (where I designed my first web site)
Father of four beautiful daughters.
Currently living in La Mesa, CA.
Was a member for a while of Skyline Wesleyan Church.
Took an offramp from conventional church in 2004 into something people call organic/simple/house/whatever church.
Are now doing half simple, half conventional church at Foothills Christian Church.

Work History

Taught mathematics at Griffiths Middle School in Downey, CA for two years.
Served for two years as literacy workers with SIL with a remote group called the Walsa in Papua New Guinea.
Director of Communication, Assimilation, and Information Systems at Emmanuel Reformed Church in Paramount,
CA for five years.
Director of Information Technology (and a few other things) at Qualistics,Inc. in San Diego for about three years.
Spent 5 years working for Information Technology Services at Point Loma Nazarene University.
Currently working as a Managing Technical Consultant for Jenzabar, Inc..

What Makes Me Tick

All my life I have been questioning everything and inventing.
My favorite activity is helping someone else have an "aha" moment.
According to the Keirsey-Bates personality type tests, I am mostly an ENFP, or Champion Style personality, pretty close to the Inventor
style, a little bit Teacher,
and a little bit Field Marshal, which means I like coming up with and communicating new ideas and leading people to a better place! (Want to figure
out what you are right here?)
According to the PersonalDNA test, I am an Animated Leader:
According to StrengthsQuest, my top five strenths are: Connectedness - Relator - Responsibility - Ideation - Strategic.
The way I see it, everyone on earth wants a few of the
same things:
1. To know others and be known by others
2. To be loved
3. To believe that their circumstances are working for their good
4. To have something worth having
5. To give something worth giving
In Jesus Christ I have found not only the answers to the five needs above, but also the most cohesive, realistic view of life ever articulated to my knowledge. My spirit, mind, and heart find ongoing peace & satisfaction.
