Quick Reference Cheat

Posted by Mr. Carver On March - 10 - 2009

There are many ways to find quick references in Windows (and Mac, for that matter.) All of the Office Suites have a quick way to access reference "look ups" via right-click options (select your word and right click your mouse--options open up in a sidebar.) Internet Explorer has the same integration in Windows. But what about in well, anything else? There are several tools out there but my favorite is a bit of free software titled Kallout.

Secrets Revealed: You Have Been Lied To

Posted by Mr. Carver On March- 30- 2009

Okay, I know it is the finely tuned excuse for many a young man or woman to conclude as they reach a "maturity" to blame the world for its inconsistency but, it's true! You are right. Its not fair and yes, many are lying to you. But not perhaps in the way you think.

The Primary Source, Tweezers, And Primary Sources

Posted by Mr. Carver On February- 23- 2009

Denying the historical accuracy of Scripture is not only complete foolishness but must leave those who will not acknowledge the plain truth in an agnostic limbo. If one denies a record that is so overwhelmingly accurate and meets so many standards (in fact, makes them--it truly is in a league of its own) then what does one do with all of the historical records that fall beneath the standard Scripture carries?

Wookies And Wikis

Posted by Mr. Carver On February - 24 - 2008

Have you ever asked yourself, ""What would Chewy Do?" (This question is often confused with "What would Chuck Norris do?" Rest assured they are different, slightly.) This question could be posed to all sorts of problems: Intergalactic Warfare, Global Warming, Paper or Plastic? All sorts of things. What about Wikipedia? Would Chewy use it? I do use Wikis. I do like Wookies. They aren't related... I think. They both share one thing in common though: both need a good bit of imagination if they are to be used academically.

     Have you ever asked yourself, "What would Chewy Do?"  (This question is often confused with "What would Chuck Norris do?  Rest assured they are different, slightly.)  This question could be posed to all sorts of problems: Intergalactic Warfare, Global Warming, Paper or Plastic?  All sorts of things.  What about Wikipedia?  Would Chewy use it?  I do use Wikis.  I do like Wookies.  They aren't related... I think.  They both share one thing in common though: both need a good bit of imagination if they are to be used academically.  To aid this understanding, for further proof that there is absolutely no reason to trust Wikipedia just take a look at the following image:



     The image speaks (ironically) more than a thousand words (but does it verify more than six thousand years?  A billion years?  Nope.  It verifies nothing--trick question!  It's Wikipedia not the Bible!)  Even a Wookie could tell there is something fishy about the reliability of Wikipedia.  Take note students!  Next time you think about what site you may use, ask "What Would Chewy Do?"  Would he use this site as a reliable source for research?  For study?  "RRRAAAAAWWWWGGGGGUHHHH!"  (That is "no" in Wookie)  No, no he most definitely would not.

(For link credit, know that I bounced to this through Nathan Williams over at the Pulpit Magazine and he bounced from Tim Challies.)
