Creating a Font and Changing My Book

Kyle Yates — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:02:05 +0000

I’m creating a second addition ABC book right now by adding some different graphics to the book and changing the font.

I’ve created my own font, but in order to finish the font I have to convert the graphics I’ve designed into TTF files. In order to do that, I have to have font software which costs a lot of money. Hopefully, I will be able to get an educational teacher’s discount.

How Are We Clothed?

Kyle Yates — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:46:36 +0000

Finding time to spend with family and friends, loved ones, can be a difficult task to accomplish. Our schedules and priorities are somewhat to blame. When we are free, are we accessible? Better yet, are we approachable?

Back when Jesus was walking the earth as man, people followed him everywhere. They watched and listened. They asked him many questions. They found him totally approachable.

Christians follow Jesus Christ and are called to be Christlike. We share God’s love and message through interaction, our walk and talk.

Catholic priests and monks clothe themselves with garments that people associate as approachable. Total strangers will approach a priest or monk out of the blue and confess their sins or share their heart because they understand them as approachable by their clothing. If we, as family and friend, are accessible yet unapproachable, how are we being Christlike? How are we clothing ourselves?

Should Anyone Be Surprised?

This morning, I opened up my computer, cut it on and then started surfing the web sites I normally visit. Upon my first stop by the Drudge, the main story for the day was Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize.

I have to say I was surprised. But after considering how the Nobel Peace Prize process has gone over recent years, it really doesn’t surprise me much.

Jimmy Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Mohamed ElBaradei won in 2005 and most conveniently, Al Gore won it in 2007. With a list of guys like that receiving NPPs for no achievements other than mere opposition to conservative ideology, why should anyone be surprised that Obama wouldn’t receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

Here’s why the Norwegian Nobel Committee gave Obama the prize.

…extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples…

Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.

Anyone else not really all that surprised beside me?

Got Things Working!

Well, for the most part, the site is up running and a bit cleaner. I tidied things up a bit by tying sites together making them easier to find and navigate. Hopefully everything will load faster and work better together. If you experience any problems, please let me know so I can take care of more »

Still Working On It

Kyle Yates — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:53:46 +0000

Got a few more things done today, but it’s still not completely done. Today, I changed the theme on the front page and added a few new graphics and color changes. Hopefully, the site will be easier on the eyes, simple, easier to understand and navigate and read. If you have any suggestions, please don’t more »

Working on the Site

Please bear with me while I rearrange the site, themes and so forth. I hope to have things more organized shortly.

Thank you!
