I realise it's not for another few hours for most of you, but I wish everyone a happy Christmas. If you understand the historical and universe-changing significance of God coming into the world as his own creation (a mere baby!) and put your trust in him who ultimately died and rose from the dead on Easter, then an especially joyous Christmas to you.
If not, I wish you a happy and safe Christmas all the same, with a gentle reminder that even the good times in this life are fleeting. Travel safely, if you're going away for the Christmas season, and come back relaxed and refreshed, ready for 2012.

Beauty of the Pilbara
It's been a long while since I've updated the journal, so returning from a recent trip to the Pilbara I thought it would be a good time to share the beauty of Australia with dA. I wasn't on a holiday - I was travelling with church family supporting college students who were in turn giving love and care to the various communities in the north-west - but that didn't mean there wasn't opportunity to see some pretty sights. As a brief break in between serving others, we travelled around Karijini National Park in the Hamersley Range, and here are a selected few pictures which I hope might encourage others to visit the outback as well.

Colour Calibration on Linux
A few months ago I purchased a basic colourimeter for calibrating my PC monitors and it does a wonderful job of making displays consistent across multiple screens. No two monitors are the same, even those of the same model, panel, factory, etc. Calibrating one's screen is arguably essential for ensuring you are seeing the same overall image as other people, so it's quite a handy thing for artists, photographers and anyone dependent on accurate colour representation.
A problem I had, however, is that the system software is restricted to the Windows and Mac operating systems. What happens if you are using another operating system such as Linux
320 *Gigapixels* of London
This might be ancient news to some, but I was rather impressed by the staggering 320 gigapixel photographic view of London I just found out about today. (It does require Flash, unfortunately, but for legacy and compatibility reasons, that's probably not a bad choice.)
According to the descriptive blurb, the impressive view was put together from over 48 thousand photos taken atop the London BT Tower, from just after the 2012 Olympic Games, with Canon EOS 7D cameras. If projected and printed at 'standard' photographic resolutions, the entire image would be almost as tall and wide as Buckingham Palace (that's pretty big).

Love for Eternity
It was with love that he made us in his own likeness,
moulded and formed us out of nothingness.
It was with love that he gave us all the world to enjoy,
in all its beauty and wonder and splendour.
It was with love that he allowed us to remain,
though all we did was rebel and rage against him.
It was with love that he continues to sustain us,
providing for our every need day by day.
It was with love that he became one of his own creatures,
to live and laugh with us, to bleed and to cry.
It was with love that he taught the truth of life,
healed the sick, comforted the sorrowful, offered hope to the hopeless.
It was with love that he
