- [Leashing the Beast Within: Navigating the Temptations of the Flesh](https://chrispalle.com/flesh-and-obedience/) - You are human. You are flesh and bone. What is the flesh? In the physical sense, our flesh is the stuff wrapped around our bones, but on the spiritual front, flesh has a life of it's own. Flesh wants that which does belong to it; it drives us to desire that which we cannot have
- [Carcinogenic People](https://chrispalle.com/carcinogenic-people/) - They’re in our workplaces. They’re in our families. They’re in our social groups. They’re even in our churches. Like the tar-tainted wispy exhaust from the lit end of a cigarette, negative persons’ behaviors can seep in to our spirits, mutating our souls, and withering it’s verdure. That is, if we let them. The problem is,

- [New "Everything" Skit on God Tube](https://chrispalle.com/new-everything-skit-on-god-tube/) - Interestingly (to me anyway), one of my top keywords from the major search engines comes from this previous post for the "Everything" skit. Someone contacted me today from Calvary Chapel Camarillo to share another rendition. It is absolutely awesome; more moving in some ways. I'd love to share and discuss some thoughts about some differences
- [Celebrating the Resurrection: A Story of True Friendship](https://chrispalle.com/celebrating-the-resurection-a-story-of-true-friendship/) - As this online social world uses the word “friend” to refer to everyone and anyone with whom we come in contact, I wonder sometimes if we're losing the meaning of what a "friend" is and I'm concerned what it means for the generations growing up with this in their day-to-day lives. My concern is partly
- ["Everything" Skit on God Tube](https://chrispalle.com/everything-skit-on-god-tube/) - Found this post from my friend Yannick in my reader showing the "Everything" Skit on God Tube. Then I found another version that is really awesome too. This is the reality that so many young people go through: UPDATE: There is a new rendition to this popular skit.
- [Filled by His Influence](https://chrispalle.com/filled-by-his-influence/) - There sits an empty vessel. Void of passion and direction; full of complacency and apathy. Desirous of something or someone - to give it a push or a pull. There it sits: idle. We are not designed to sit still, but so often that is exactly what we do; never realizing our potential to be
- [The Web is Our Missions Field](https://chrispalle.com/the-web-is-our-missions-field/) - In this past few weeks, I've realized just how possible it is to reach out on a global scale right from your computer. It started with a post that stemmed from thoughts about Christians having a tendency to be judgmental of folks when they don't really have the right to do so. Some discussion took
- [Stay the Course. Retain Your Purity](https://chrispalle.com/stay-the-course-retain-your-purity/) - Being a *ahem* thirty-something now, I don't hear about this topic too often any more. Being the father of a 9-year-old girl, It's certainly still a concern. I found a great site that encourages teens to act their age when comes to sex: StayTeen It's apparently becoming quite popular – the site that is. The
- [A Christian on Madison Ave.](https://chrispalle.com/a-christian-on-madison-ave/) - The creative energy that perfunctorily comes from Madison Ave is positively mindboggling. The abundance and flow of the characters I've been coming across this past year has me enamored at times. The lifestyles of these folks, however, are not the choices I would encourage someone to make: Many smoke and drink, and revel in their

We've realized that our Industrial Age past does not serve our Information Age present; we no longer need to rely on centralized powers for our survival. As we move to an augmented future, one in which machines serve us more and Data is the raw material on which our
- [Design Thinking for Entrepreneurs: Innovator's Journey](https://chrispalle.com/design-thinking-for-entrepreneurs-innovators-journey/) - Design has a process. And usually, it's organized chaos. The creative process is predictably unpredictable and you want it this way. Naturally, creative discovery taps into the unknown. So, you need to afford the time and space for this in your creative practice. Unpredictability will cost any business owner their energy if not handled properly.

Hope you find this excellent collection on Quora as helpful as I did:What are some interesting playdecks to get creative/design inspiration?

To keep scaling and moving easy, I've done my best to be smart about what shapes to combine as unions, group as objects, keep editable text, or keep separate. I'm sure

- [AideRSS Does OpenID Entry Elegantly](https://chrispalle.com/aiderss-does-openid-entry-elegantly/) - AideRSS is a nifty RSS service that ranks posts (PostRank™) based on several factors including, but not limited to, comments, bookmarks, diggs, and gReader shares. They have IMO, done a nice job implementing a log-in interface for OpenID. (update: Melanie from AideRSS had indicated this is an solution provided by ID Selector.) AideRSS' Initial OpenID

Just ran across this illustration on the Cultured Code blog and had to share. This is exemplary of the "Craft of {human} Experience." There is certainly more to it than this, but UX designers like Chris from Cultured Code warrants

- [Cultured Code's Things Quick Tip- Creating "Rich" Notes for Your To-Dos](https://chrispalle.com/cultured-codes-things-creating-rich-notes-for-your-to-dos/) - I'm currently using Things from Cultered Code as my to-do list organizer in Mac OS X. Things is great. There are several many reasons as to why, but perhaps one of the most useful is the to-do quick entry function. Similar to QuickSilver, there is a system-wide keystroke that invokes the persistently hovering (modal) to-do

Or, Face-to-Face Support Groups for When Twitter's Down](https://chrispalle.com/nyc-tweetup-or-face-to-face-support-groups-for-when-twitters-down/) - (enter mashup visual here) That's what Chrissie Brodigan overheard. Some of the twitterholics got together tonight and actually met up face-to-face. I mean actually shaking hands and seeing eye-to-eye... I know, crazy right?

- [NetNewsWire Quick Tip - Layout Switchin' for Widescreens ](https://chrispalle.com/netnewswire-quick-tip-layout-switchin-for-widescreens/) - Another little surprise popped up in NetNewsWire today while trying to fix a problem. Something borked my layout and setting it back was not very intuitive. As I've mentioned before in a previous post, NetNewsWire could be more user-friendly with its features. Feature-rich it is, but some engineering foresight could make it sing a little
- [Twitter's Real Appeal](https://chrispalle.com/twitters-real-appeal/) - Twitter is addictive. There is no doubt about it. It's strange really. Every time I try to explain twitter to the non-initiated, I realize just how awkward it really is: Yeah, it's this Web site that allows you to post messages “ but not more than 140 characters in length “ to people who you

- [TwerpScan - Good Name; Good Way to Zap Them](https://chrispalle.com/twerpscan-good-name-good-way-to-zap-them/) - There's been much contemplation as to what to call these... whatevers who follow 1000s of people on twitter, but with few followers. In a previous post, calling them a "spwitter" was an idea, but I agree, that was a little too cute and there's very little cuteness about these... whatevers. "Spit" (spam + twit) is
- [Why it's a Good Time to Play with Webkit CSS Properties](https://chrispalle.com/why-its-a-good-time-to-play-with-css-webkit-properties/) - So, after getting an email from Sitepoint this past week, I decided to drink some of the Webkit CSS kool-aide. If you're in a Webkit browser, go ahead, rollover the links and navigation. To give a very quick background, Webkit is the foundation for the Safari Web browser. Additionally, many OS X apps use Webkit

Anyway, this was the first BarCamp I’ve ever attended. I’ve been wanting to attend one for quite some time and was bummed to miss the big one a couple months ago. This however, made up for it because we covered one of

So, I've always been a big believer in RSS News Feeds, but there are so many good feeds out there, how do you stay on top of them? It's simple: YOU DON'T. But this little bubble on NetNewsWire's dock icon made me feel like I always had to catch up! Sadly, I began avoiding

Oh yeah, the cool peeps at Plasq who made Comic Life. Uploaded with Skitch! Yeah, that was pretty cool, have to say. I just think this illustration is funny. Notice how even with the protective cover, they still

Social Design guy Joshua Porter has posted his slides from a presentation he gave on the topic. From his site: For my talk, I picked something I’ve never talked about before: web craftsmanship. I chose this topic because I’ve

Eric Litman is a young VC from WashingtonVC who sobered the whole group with one simple facts about his industry: DON’T GO LOOKING FOR MONEY His keypoint: Engagement. It’s all about making connections and developing relationships. Finding people who can

The scientists who pioneered it have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds." What is Joe Average Going to Do With It? IMO, it’s just hype. For what need will average consumers have of this kind of bandwidth? Any

I've been able to get this to work before, but for whatever reason, I cannot get my PNGs to render properly in IE. If you see this in-progress site, artisans.blueflamecreative.com, the exact same method is used to good effect. In fact, I just cut-and-pasted from that project to this one. The
- [Getting your ma.gnolia Bookmarklet on your iPhone](https://chrispalle.com/getting-your-magnolia-bookmarklet-on-your-iphone/) - My main Web browser has been Firefox for quite some time now. I like all the great extensions available. And the support for standards-based design is fantastic. I also make good use of bookmarklets, which you can do in other browsers too, but that just isn't compelling enough to make me switch. However, if you're

It seems more like a prototype, proof-of-concept than anything else as it would only have made sense to make it wireless. It's apparently a flash-based dev platform running on Linux. So, development should be easy enough. Chumby
- [NextWeb Meetup: Angelwish.org and Eyebees.com](https://chrispalle.com/nextweb-meetup-at-webster-hall-nyc/) - So, I finally made it out to one of these meetups. Organized primarily by Brett Petersel, the event was way cool. Just as I expected really. There was probably around 350 people, free drinks, awesome tech talk, and enough IQ to put the MENSA to shame. Surprisingly, most of the people with whom I spoke

If you’re at the TED conference in SF a few weeks ago, you might have heard of them. They put their product to the test and had some of the most brilliant minds in technology develop a product using their
- [Update: Social Media Data Visualization: Twitter Blocks](https://chrispalle.com/social-media-data-visualization-twitter-blocks/) - Interesting to say the least. Not really sure what the benefit is yet, but it looks cool if nothing else! Update: Navigation has improved significantly since I first found this. I can now see a real benefit to traversing twitter in this way. When you roll-over the middle blocks (you're neighbors' recent posts), you can

Ctrl-drag-copy still works, but the shift-constrain no longer works. I've laid out how to change the keyboard configuration in Parallels to remedy this. Anybody who has changed platforms can relate to

They're not exactly a new company, but they are making some news with their platform. They're providing product manufacturer's with the collection of hardware and software tools that empowers them
- [New Site Update](https://chrispalle.com/new-site-update/) - Well, here it is. I've finally got my new layout up and mostly working. (Sorry, not completed with IE fixes) The thing of it is, the majority of the time spent on it was battling K2. With all the complexities of the theme, I feel a lot was wasted. It was an excellent learning experiece,

It's nice that I'm starting get all my social apps in one place, especially on a standalone, but it's missing some. Notably, Last.fm. Also, it could use a couple more features from the social sites integrated into the browser as opposed to bringing me to the Web site.
- [Mac OS X TextEdit Tip: ESC Open Autocomplete Dialog](https://chrispalle.com/mac-ox-textedit-tip-esc-open-autocomplete-dialog/) - Always cool when you're clipping along on something and by complete mistake you discover a great trick. I'm pretty sure most OSes have a simple text editor. Mac OS X's is called TextEdit. Frankly, I use it for just about every lightweight text-editing because it is so versatile. Last night on my commute home, I

- [Virb Goes into Re-Birth](https://chrispalle.com/virb-goes-into-re-birth/) - Virb° is in private beta for it's next incarnation. I'm interested. Wish there were more time in my schedule to help, though. The sign-up page plainly states they're looking for quality folks to help out. That's one of things I like about Virb°: the focus on quality; not quantity. Virb° is a cool social network.
- [Gibson's Neuromancer For Real? Anti-ecstasy/meth antibodies](https://chrispalle.com/gibsons-neuromancer-for-real-anti-ecstasymeth-antibodies/) - This is pretty cool for people struggling with some drug addictions. Methamphetamine (ironically also found in over-the-counter bronchodialator medicines) can absolutely wreak havoc on families when a member succumbs to its trap. I saw it countless times growing up in Phoenix where the meth problem is huge. Michael Owens and a team of researchers from
- [NYC, Thanks for Starting Over](https://chrispalle.com/nyc-thanks-for-starting-over/) - The mid-west has character. And the West coast, charisma. New York City, though – she has personality and her individuality is with the people. I used to hear all the time about how America has no culture - obviously the voices of the ignorant, because if you've ever been to NYC, you'll know that the

- [Hello world!](https://chrispalle.com/hello-world-2/) - Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging! I know this is the original post and most would perhaps delete it, but you know, after playing and working with computers since I was five, there's something.... nostalgic about it. If you've ever learned BASIC, there is no doubt

How cool is this. It basically combines two up-and-comers into one interesting
- [Good XHTML/CSS Design References](https://chrispalle.com/good-xhtmlcss-design-references/) - Standards-based Web site design is more than an approach, it's more than a methodology, it's a discipline. It's not easy. You've got to pay close attention to details, and be considerate of so many facets from alt tags to title attributes, from semantic mark-up to well-formed structure. Don't even get me started on browser compliance.
- [On Vacation in Florida](https://chrispalle.com/on-vacation-in-florida/) - So, I haven't posted in some time and thought it would be good to note that I'm still alive. I've been in Florida all week. It's nice here...considering it was snowing last week in New Jersey.

- [Feed Address Changed](https://chrispalle.com/feed-address-changed/) - Hey there, All- If you've ever noticed, the title of this blog was "Something that Will Probably Change Someday." It got that name because when first setting up the site, I went through about 5 installations of Wordpress and wasn't feeling particularly creative by the time I finally got it.

- [ma.gnolia.com Doesn’t Get Enough Props](https://chrispalle.com/magnoliacom-doesnt-get-enough-props/) - ma.gnolia.com is simply a social bookmarking site. Frankly, I think the site is superior to some other bookmarking sites because it's just easier to, well, socialize. There are quick links to thank people for their links, you can easily create groups and make new friends. And more. I'm guilty of under utilizing the site myself.

Granted, it's not the most professional presentation, but I'm getting there. I don't like using the over-used Lightbox, and I REALLY don't like that I can't properly use it by grouping related pictures together. I cannot wait until I rebuild

Things have been super busy. It's good, but as you can see, I haven't made a post in almost two months... that's not good. :-) Partly it's because my WP editor gives me grief.
