Overprotective father

I saw this in a recent BYU Police Beat:

April 8: The father of a student called BYU police when he had not heard from his daughter for four days. BYU police called the student and told her to call her father.

Four days! What will happen to this father guy if the girl ever leaves on a mission for 18 months?

Wondrous words

Wondrous words never knew where
They floated along, without any care
Blind and mute, they were so naive,
Now the emotions, together they weave.

If I were to write a poem with one word,
some people would think the author absurd.
The word with friends might make a sentence,
Yet alone is the word, it doesn’t make sense.

So the wondrous words somehow found friends;
Even punctuation, they found at the ends.
They made apple pie and shared a good slice,
Because friends are found, when words are nice.

More aggregation of blogs

A few months ago, I started aggregating posts from some of my other blogs. When I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5, things stopped working for just a little while, but I think I have them working again. In addition, I’m now aggregating posts from my ScriptureCast.net blog.

I apologize if today’s work has created a sudden influx in blog posts for you to read. As always, there are two feeds for Jacob’s Blog: The Atom Feed contains all posts aggregated from all my blogs, and the RSS2 Feed contains only posts from this blog, without any aggregated posts.

Jaiku, the microblog

I’ve been playing around just a little bit with Jaiku. Its a microblog, or a presence indicator, or an online status syndicator, or something like that. My Jaiku is at http://jwb.jaiku.com. I’ve found that they have strangely appropriate icons to use, and that jaiku isn’t always the easiest thing to type.

If any of my dedicated readers or friends want an invite, let me know. You’ll have to personally know me or have left a comment or something, and I’d be happy to help a friend out. If you are just stopping by hoping I’m giving out free invites, you should look somewhere else. (Hint: try Google searching “jaiku invites”)
