Uncomfortable…
Posted on September 17th, 2007 by ctodd
I read a post tonight on Kem Meyer’s blog…and frankly it really hit home.
When I am uncomfortable…
- I’m intentional; not casual.
- I’m confident in God; not me.
- I’m hungry to learn; not content where I am.
- I’m making decisions on purpose; not by accident.
- Life’s a little bit harder; not a little bit easier.
- My faith is a little bit bigger; not a little bit smaller.
- I think a little more about others; not a little more about me.
Thanks Kem!

Why some people are prone to mosquito bites
Posted on September 1st, 2007 by ctodd
Specific cells in one of the three organs that make up the mosquito
’s nose are tuned to identify the different chemicals that make up human body odour. To the mosquito some people’s sweat simply smells better than others because of the proportions of the carbon dioxide, octenol and other compounds that make up body odour.

I read this on Tony Dye’s blog tonight, and thought it was worth passing on:
“You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don’t have that kind of feeling for what it is you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle.”
– George Lucas, Director
Yahoo Pipes
Posted on May 29th, 2007 by ctodd
If you routinely read a lot of feeds or many different sites on the internet, then Yahoo pipes may be for you. Granted it is very hard to get your head around at first, but then hang on as the possibilities are unleashed.
From Wikipedia: Yahoo! Pipes is a Web application from Yahoo! that provides a GUI-based interface for building applications that aggregate Web feeds and other services, creating Web-based apps from various sources, and publishing those apps. The site works by letting users “pipe” information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified (e.g. filtering). A typical example is New York Times thru Flickr, a pipe which takes the New York Times RSS feed and adds a photo from Flickr based on the keywords of each item. The site is currently in beta.

Turn your sound down, because there are a couple of not so great words uttered by the completely stunned videographer. Then watch this video and see an amazing display of natural instinct…Hint: watch til you see the Lion go flyin’
