Comment Spam?
May 3rd
I have been writing posts on my blog since about November 2005, and never once have I had a comment spam problem until Sunday. I call it a problem, but it has quickly become an epidemic. Sadly, I have had to change the permissions in my comments section to require approval, which I don’t want to do, but I have to do it.
So, let’s here the recommendations on controlling comment spam. Captcha? What do you use?

Enough and to spare
May 1st
Paul Allen wrote a great post on the importance of what he called being a lovecat. Essentially, he says he lost focus of what he loved most about being in his position . . . helping others succeed.
It reminded me of a saying in a book called Doctrine and Covenants.
“For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare;”
Is that an iPod?
May 1st
I don’t know if I have mentioned this before, but my wife and I teach a Sunday school class for seven and eight year olds at our church, and those kids say the darndest things at times.
Yesterday one of the boys looked over at my RAZR cell phone and asked “Is that an iPod?” (He’s eight). I said no, it’s a cell phone. Playing dumb and extremely curious about what an eight year old could possibly know about a $400 music player, I asked him, “what’s an iPod?”
His reply . . . “It’s a little electronic thing that plays music when you push the button.” Simple as that. When eight-year-old kids can explain your technology and they don’t even own it, you know you are doing something right.
