open dns — a most excellent idea

By mitchell b powell | Published: 0039, 17th June, 2011
Eric Peters, over at castingyour.net, provides the barest of instructional guides for people who wish to filter their entire church network. In our family, we decided to use it to filter our internet, which so far has been utterly unfiltered. In addition to blocking the worst sorts of immorality, we’ve blocked the worst sorts of [...]

why some people think christians are stupid

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1849, 27th May, 2011
