The Kyle File

Millions are convinced of their salvation because one time they prayed the sinner's prayer. However, they remain unchanged by the Gospel.

Mmmmmmmm! Coffee!

Actually, it’s an animated caffeine molecule. No gif here! This is HTML5 and a snippit of Javascript in action, and it was quite easy to make it work. And I can even tab to it and controll it with a screen reader. The hardest part was the fallback links to download the browsers that support it, because I had to find each link individually. :) I did, however, choose to implement only free and open formats for the animation. The original avi file is available from The Department of Chemistry, University of the West Indies.

It is also rather interesting to note that Firefox doesn’t support the “loop” attribute in the video tag, so I had to copy and paste a Javascript snippit into this post to make it loop properly. Otherwise, this would have been even easier to implement than it actually was. But it was still quite easy, since I only had to Google, copy and paste. I’ve also saved this script code so I can reuse it whenever I want.

BTW, a big thankyou goes out to Tumblr for allowing me to use HTML5 and Javascript in my posts. You guys rock!

Sorry, but I have to disagree with many of the American Idol comments I’ve seen so far. Season 10 has seen the worst winner in AI history! At no time has someone who simply has no singing voice gone all the way to the top. A few non-singers usually last longer than they should, but they’ve never made it all the way until now. Ladies and gentlemen, American Idol is officially dead! Please don’t bring it back for another dreadful season! I can’t wait for The X Factor, which I pray will be what AI is no longer: a true singing competition where all the contestants, but especially the winners, can truly sing.

By Unknown

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time to…

Live. Laugh. Love. Christ: Sorry God, I have no Time.

> One thing I ask from the LORD,

this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Psalm 27:4-6
