Biography

Ok ok...what I can I say that hasn't already been blabbed about on this very podcast? Here's the quick rundown of who I am:

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, have an amazing little girl, and work way too much when I should be hanging out with them. I work on Drupal day in and day out, trying to help churches build more interactive websites. I do that at Mustardseed Media Inc and also do a video podcast over there. When I'm not host of Geeks & God or working I'm reading, playing Wii, listing to music, or doing absolutely nothing (which is my favorite).

I am a geek...and I love God.

    I've made connections with a large Christian retreat center on the east coast (Washington DC area) who has a passion for bringing together the worlds of technology and spirituality.

  • Anonymous Posting Disabled

    Hey all!
    Lately on the forums here at G&G we've been battling a bit of spam. Since this community has always been driven by members of the site, and less by anonymous posters, we're trying to get rid of some of the spam issues by disabling anonymous users (ie. people not logged in) from posting comments or forum topics.

    All this means is you should create an account and login before posting...otherwise, continue on with life as normal.

    Thanks for sustaining the G&G community!

    I ran across a script/solution for migrating event module date fields over to CCK date fields and I had to share it (and put it where I could reference it again :) You can find the original post over here and it's parent version (which I could NOT get to work) here.

  • Help G&G By Transcribing Episodes

    A (possibly) little known feature of this site is the ability for our community to transcribe the audio episodes. By having transcriptions, this helps us in a number of ways:
    SEO results have more to key in on
    Gives a set of notes that others can go back to later for a reminder
    Summarizes the episode if anyone didn't get a chance to listen and is an outline for the hearing impaired on what we talk about

  • Theme Drupal Teasers, Full Nodes and Front Pages

    Want to theme your node.tpl.php so that your teasers, full nodes, and front page are laid out differently from each other? Here's the magic pieces of code:

    The $teaser variable can be used in your node.tpl.php files to check whether it's currently viewing a full page or a preview. So, your node.tpl might look something like this:

    <?php if ($teaser) : ?>
    Do Teaser Stuff
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if (!$teaser) : ?>
    Do Full Node View Stuff
    <?php endif; ?>

    And, as a bonus tip (today only!) you can also detect the front page teaser views by doing:
