In this world there are many who are unable to read or write. For them there is
little light of ages past, and only diminished knowledge of the vast and
intriguing world of the present. The darkness that surrounds them, the bleak
shadow of illiteracy, condemns them to poverty, hunger, and ignorance. Do
whatever you can to help them, whether they be in your home, neighborhood, or
across the world. Bring light into their lives by helping them learn to read.
– Gordon B. Hinckley

Moral decay
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Alexander Pope
Not to speak is to speak
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Learning from the past, living in the present, longing for the future
Of this I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future. – Winston Churchhill
Ordinary can be extraordinary
The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary
people who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.

Joe Billman = ACE (Adobe Certified Expert)
Recently I did something that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I took the exam to become an Adobe Certified Expert in Flash Professional. Those who know me know that I love Flash and have been using it for a long time. It feels good finally have something other than my experience to verify my abilities in Flash. Okay that’s enough of my 5 minutes of Flash fame.
