the one about the crazy preacher...
I'm taking a preaching class now and they recorded my last sermon. So if you're feeling brave enough, you can watch it too. It's on Luke 12:4-12 and it's about 15 minutes long. I talk about bears.

Goin' Back
We're going back to Budapest! Thanks to a school vacation for me, a good boss for Danielle, and a bunch of cool people in Budapest that we like, we're taking a trip. We'll be in Budapest from May 4-May 14. If you're in America, come with us. If you're in Budapest, don't leave. See you soon Magyarorsag.

Shock it back to life
I have a cordless drill. It's one of my favorite tools. I've had it for about 8 years now and after all that time, the Ni-Cad battery packs were pretty much shot. There was so little juice left in the batteries that the drill was more of a noise maker than a drill. One of the batteries was worse than the other and it wouldn't even turn a screw when it had a full change.
Then I came across a hint on Instructables.com for reviving dead nicad batteries. So I tried it. I didn't have anything to lose since the batteries were already shot. Plus, it had the added bonus that it might explode. I like it when things explode. The hint suggests using a welder. Sadly, I don't have one. But a car battery also has a fair amount of current, and I do have one of those. So I got my jumper cables, popped the hood of my trusty little Hyundai, and attached a drill battery-pack to the car battery for a few seconds.
The result: now the battery packs for my drill give full power for about an hour of work! They seem like they're almost as good as new. It's amazing. This makes me want to hook all sorts of other things up to jumper cables.

9monthsallmashedintoonepost
I was supposed to read a book for my ethics class tonight, but it's not *reeeeeely* due for several more weeks and it's been a while since I put any pictures here, so have a look at this pile from the last 9 months.
