Silence is not golden, but it is still silence

by 53X11 on November 15, 2011

Over the last few months the Being Frank team has desired to start regular posting again. Life, work, and some lingering family health issues, have interfered with these plans. That said, we will push on and hopefully get to regular blogging over the next few weeks and months. Readers from way back will either be [...]

The dogs of war

by 53X11 on May 5, 2011

America’s military (specifically it’s special forces) did a great job finding, and taking out Bin Laden. The military found their target, did their background work, prepared well, and struck precisely. The combined strike force numbered in the hundreds when support forces, logistics experts, flight crews, etc are included, but on the ground were 79 commando’s [...]

Allen on Microsoft’s Misstep’s

by 53X11 on March 30, 2011

Though many are discussing the parts of Paul Allen’s forthcoming biography where he, Mr. Allen, alleges that Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and others tried to cheat him out of a large part and the value of Microsoft’s stock. To me though the more interesting thing is Mr Allen’s discussing (summarized at FT.com here) where and [...]

That’s the stat facts Jack

by 53X11 on February 15, 2011

A colleague shared this at work today and I wanted to share this online. It is a piece by Hans Rosling made for the BBC which visually displays the stats of age and wealth in 200 countries over 200 years. Very cool stuff.

by 53X11 on February 1, 2011

The topic and concept of Hell is one that fills volumes and that has been discussed since mankind first left the garden. With that said, I think the modern church has done a in service to the topic. We, the western Christian church, seems to have largely reached a point where we focus so much [...]

Being Frank Update

by 53X11 on January 10, 2011

Well since it has been a long time since I published a update on how life is around the Being Frank world, I thought it would be a good time (as the blog is being rebooted) for that to occur. It seems fitting for the first post back to be about why we have been [...]

I’m back

by 53X11 on September 29, 2010

Sorry for the over month long break in blogging. My work / home schedule is becoming more routine now. I doubt I will be back to daily blogging soon, but I do plan to blog a few times a week starting soon. As long time readers / visitors know the three C’s (Christ, Computers, and [...]

Hey all – Quick update

by 53X11 on January 17, 2010

Well my return to “regular blogging” has not been as successful as I would have hoped. Over the last six weeks or so I have fought a terrible cold and exhaustion while working WAY too much. The good news is I believe God is opening a door for the work situation to change soon. That [...]

Devotion pays off – in all things

by 53X11 on September 29, 2009

First of all, I don’t play guitar. So, don’t start emailing / commenting about which guitar is better, etc. Moving on, Reuters has a very interesting story up about the story of Paul Reed Smith guitars. The piece discusses how PRS guitars are expanding in a bad economy, how their cost does not act as [...]
