Nero Burning ROM

I want to turn avi and/or mpeg files into DVD movies. I also want to turn pictures (jpegs) into DVD movies/slide-shows with sound. There is also a flash movie I want to add to the DVD. These need to be playable on an ordinary DVD player. Menu support is nice but […]

For the love of Europe

Traveling in Europe is so fun. I was just telling a co-worker about why it is better to travel alone than in a group. I was sneaking into underground crypts beneath churches, getting chased by gypsies, watching a soccer riot, choosing a new Italian hamlet to travel by train to every morning, reading […]

Live or Let Die

The wise and wonderful Peggy Noonan explains why letting a poor Florida woman die will cost Republicans dearly.

In America today all big stories have three dimensions: a legal angle, a public-relations angle and a political angle. In the Schiavo case some of our politicians seem not to be fully appreciating the second and third. This […]

A member of the Southern Seminary faculty has contacted one of the comment-posters on this site (not Jake or Blandus). For the poster’s sake, all recent discussions concerning Southern Seminary have been suspended, including published writing by Jake and/or Blandus. This is neither an endorsement nor retraction of what has been removed. […]

DeLorean

“John Z. DeLorean, the innovative automaker who left a promising career in Detroit to develop the stainless steel-skinned, gull-winged sports car bearing his name and was acquitted of charges he planned to sell $24 million worth of cocaine to support the venture, has died at the age of 80.”
