Introducing Favicon FP Suite for FlatPress: A One‑Stop Favicon Generator Built From Real‑World Frustration
Anyone who has ever tried generating a complete favicon set online knows how messy the process can be. Some tools claim to be “free,” but only give you a couple of the required images. Others hide essential formats behind paywalls. And even the paid generators often feel clunky, outdated, or incomplete. After bouncing between multiple sites and still ending up unsure whether the icons were correct for all browsers and devices, it became clear: a simpler solution was needed.
That’s why I created Favicon FP Suite, a plugin that provides a complete favicon and app icon system for FlatPress. It includes: [Read more…]
In anticipation of some projects I plan to tackle over the next couple of months, it felt like the right time to revisit my small shop area in the garage and make better use of the space. I wanted to improve my workflow, increase efficiency, and finally add a workbench with a pegboard back so the tools I use most often would be right at hand. [Read more…]
This post marks the beginning of a new series collected under the AI Perspective category. Over the past year, I’ve been shaping a companion voice — Hank — to help bring clarity, steadiness, and principled reflection to the moment we’re living in. His role is simple: to ground today’s challenges in Scripture, U.S. history, and the founding principles that formed this country. I’m glad to introduce his first contribution here. [Read more…]
From the Command Line to AI Conversations: A Cautious Path Forward
Having started in the tech industry during the days of DOS and XT computers and before computer networks were even a thing in most businesses, I’ve had the privilege of watching technology evolve from clunky command lines to cloud-powered ecosystems. Back then, change came slowly. A moderately significant advancement might arrive every year or so, and truly groundbreaking shifts were rare enough to feel seismic.
Today, that rhythm is gone. Innovation moves at breakneck speed. What once took years now happens in months, or even weeks. And while this acceleration has brought incredible tools and capabilities, it’s also introduced a new kind of risk: the temptation to adopt without understanding.
I’ve seen this firsthand, from the early rush into cloud computing to today’s headlong sprint toward artificial intelligence. Don’t get me wrong: I’m excited about AI. I believe it holds immense potential to elevate human creativity, solve complex problems, improve healthcare, and expand access to knowledge. But I’m also concerned. [Read more…]
Are You Equally Yoked? Do you know what that phrase means?
When talking about relationships and dating, you might have heard the term equally yoked. If you’ve spent time in church, odds are you’ve heard a sermon or two about its significance. And if you’re seriously considering marriage, it’s a metaphor worth taking to heart.
I didn’t fully grasp the weight of the phrase when I first heard it years ago from a friend. Honestly, my mind went straight to egg yolks. Curious—and admittedly confused—I asked how eggs related to relationships. My friend laughed kindly and gave a quick explanation: it’s about couples sharing similar values and perspectives.

Up until late 2006, I had been aware of the major news events dominating national and global headlines—the big stories that were hard to miss, even if you weren’t paying close attention. But somewhere along the way, the news seemed to take a darker turn, growing increasingly troubling. It became so unsettling that I felt compelled to dig deeper to make sense of it all.
By then, it felt as though someone, somewhere, was waking up early and working overtime to ensure the news was as bleak as it was becoming. The economy was rumbling with signs of an impending upheaval. Saddam Hussein was convicted and executed, with the events broadcast live on TV. From my perspective, the news seemed to be spiraling into the bizarre. [Read more…]
Start the New Year with A Simple and Rewarding Commitment
As the new year begins, many people set resolutions to improve their lives. One powerful and enriching way to start the year is by committing to read the Bible in a year. There are many means available to accomplish this. You can find printed Bibles, podcasts, CDs, downloadable audio, and websites designed for this purpose. These resources typically start on January 1st and continue daily for the entire year.
This might seem like quite the commitment for some, but many folks spend twice as much time daily swiping through content like ice bucket challenges, new dance moves, or watching a rock roll down a hill. Everyone has enough time daily to take this on. Even if you are not already a Christian, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the Christian faith and be on the same page daily with millions of other Christians. [Read more…]
Home Remodeling Adventure: Transforming Our Upstairs
My wife and I decided to remodel the upstairs of our home this year. Our main motivator was to replace the carpet that was installed when the home was built with anything but carpet and update the overall look of the space. This included new paint, new plugs and switches, replacing traditional can lights with LED lighting, new smoke detectors, and pulling out the carpet and replacing it with laminate flooring and new baseboards. Fortunately, our downstairs is engineered hardwood, so we do not need to tackle another carpet replacement project anytime soon. We received multiple quotes for the flooring part of the project that were priced about what we expected. But somewhere along the way, my wife managed to convince me that I could do the work better than a professional. I was already entertaining the idea of doing the work myself. Having a wife who was encouraging and supportive of me learning along the way made taking on the effort less monumental. [Read more…]
