What is this?

So what is Software eis doxan Theou?

The short answer, the literal answer, is Software to the Glory of God.
It comes from 1 Corinthians 10.31 which states, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Granted, the immediate context isn't about software development, but this verse, among others, show that there is no part of life in which we are to separate the sacred from the secular. That is, God is over all, and in all and through all. He is in every aspect, and so that includes software development.

Why did I start this blog?

Honestly, I want an XBox 360. I was at a software conference today and they are having a drawing, contest something in which participants that blog about a new Microsoft technology could win an XBox360.

Since I didn't have a blog, I figured I'd create one. I haven't created one yet because there are a ton (literally) of developers who know more than me and are better at understanding the technology. Additionally, there is no shortage of good theological blogs. So as I surveyed the landscape, I've always concluded that I had little to nothing to offer.

Also, I've often seen most bloggers and simply promoting themselves. I mean, do I really care about what 95% of the people read today, or how to make my dog rise to the occasion. Also, I don't have a lot of time in my life, and it seems like blogs take a lot of time (at least the good ones.)

So this might be a short lived blog. I'm not expecting huge numbers of readers (and by that I mean anything greater than 0).
