In what is now a fairly old news story (but not old for me, as I was 'out of the loop,' as it were, and just found this news today), the Vatican office in charge of the website has switched to using Linux servers and Mac workstations.

They surely have a lot of work to do to get the Vatican Website up-to-date (it has been image-map-based and not very innovative, design-wise, for many years... but it is one of the oldest and most well-known websites in the world). But I know of a few other great sites maintained on Macs. This site would be included in that list ;-)

A brother seminarian took this picture of me getting ready to jump-serve at this past weekend's intramural championships and priest vs. seminarian volleyball game. Way back in high school, I played on my high school team (we went to State, but placed 2nd to Vianney...) and Missouri Thunder, a local club team, and I loved every minute. Unfortunately, there are very few in the Seminary who play volleyball, so I cherish every moment of it.

Who knows? Someday the seminary might have a vibrant community of volleyball players... hmm—maybe not. Oh, well, at least there's the soccer season to look forward to! You can find more pictures from the volleyball game in the 'Pictures' section at the top of this page.

I have everything moved to the new web server, and updated all the links, picture pages, etc. What do you think of the new look - any suggestions?

(Tree outside my window blowing in the wind - up to 45mph gusts!).

Since all the hectic weekends of the month of Februrary are now over, I have a little time to post this picture that was taken of all the 2006-2007 Cardinal Glennon College seminarians in their cassocks (following a tradition that was lost a few years back of taking a college picture every year on the steps in front of our building's main chapel).

This past weekend, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary held its annual Open House, along with its annual 40 Hours of Eucharistic adoration. Pictures from both events can be found on my Seminary Pictures page.

In other news, some major changes to the structure of my whole 'Life is a Prayer' website will be coming in the next few weeks. Not only will I be moving everything to a new server (off the .Mac servers... more on that at a later time), but I will also be reorganizing everything into one site, that is much easier to navigate (and it will look a lot nicer).
