They have the program available on the website in .ics format for iCal, so you can download the time straight into your calendar app (on Mac).

I love when people do this kind of thing—they could easily not do it, but someone pushes it anyway.

Accordance is driving me crazy. The text stuff is fine. It has its annoying quirks, but what doesn’t?

The maps module is so, so frustrating. It is completely unintuitive and there are five hard-to-remember steps to do something that would be a key combination in an Omnigroup application.

I’m done being an Accordance advocate. I’m done. From now on, I use it because there is no Bible software on Mac that comes close, not because it’s great.

There is a thriving Mac software development community, but Accordance are still writing software to be compatible with a 68K emulator on a PC. That’s practically criminal.

For my 30th birthday this year, my Mum gave me a collection of photos she’d had scanned, from pictures of my Mum and Dad before I was born, through to a trip Mum and I took to Europe in 2001, just before Sally and I got married.

I really enjoyed looking through the photos, particularly because I now have a child of my own (shared, actually—Sally and I co-own her).

So, if you’ll indulge me… here’s a screenshot from the photo folder:

This is a cool datavisualisation of box office takings from recent movies.

I love this kind of thing. I wish I had a design brain.

I’ve blogged briefly about this before; the release date is now a little closer and I’m looking forward to seeing this thing.

Here’s a video from Crossway about the study Bible. It’s hosted by Tullian Tchividjian. That’s a helluva name.

Here’s the ESV Study Bible page.

There’s some sort of major sporting event kicking off tonight (Teak—write something acerbic, will you please),

Apparently, someone hacked the official Olympics site, although I haven’t found any screenshots of what they did (make headlines orange. Wow—don’t hold back, guys.)

Now it looks like the Chinese (or someone) has hacked the protest site associated with the hack:

In case you’re not sure, if you go to a website, like thecolororange.net and get that, it’s stuffed.

UPDATE: Well, looks like they got the ball rolling again.

I schpammed the college pigeon holes last night.

At college, everyone has a pigeon hole, and people put all sorts of junk mail in there, like I did last night (for an Indonesia prayer group gathering).

I wonder, though, if the people towards the end of the alphabet get significantly less spam than others. I made 300 copies of the little POS (Piece of Spam) I had, and made it to ‘Veitch’ before running out.

Being a ‘B’, I get hammered.

I like ampersands too. One of my favourite fonts, Hoefler Text, has a great italic ampersand, thus:

How good would it be if everyone used LibraryThing?

Here’s my catalogue.

Generally, we Christians buy a lot of books—let’s share.

Bill Gates doesn’t think philanthropy can solve the world’s poverty problems — but capitalism can.

This is Creative Capitalism.

Catchy.
