GUIDE: Android Battery Conditioning
Want 20% better battery life on your Android phone? Here’s what, why and how. But let me give you this caveat – a 20% increase on a battery that is giving you 3 hours isn’t much – probably not worth it. I mean, if you currently get 5 hours, you’ll only get maybe 1-2 more hours max. However, if you have an extended battery, 20% might be worth it.
Me, I doubled the life of my Thunderbolt battery (1400mA) by replacing the battery with the exact same size replacement battery for the HTC Rezound (1620mA) – from 3 to 7 hours of battery life, no rooting or conditioning required. But of course, I want MORE! So here’s the directions.
GUIDE: Rooting Your Thunderbolt Android Phone
There are lots of great sites that tell you how to root your phone and install a ROM (links below). I’ve created this quick guide for myself so I don’t have to keep looking it up.
WARNING: You can brick your phone if you don’t do this exactly right. Do your homework and read the links at the bottom first, I am not an expert, just a guy who roots his own phone.
I am still experimenting with ROMs, so don’t have any recommendations.

Hallucinogens as Angels of Light
I was going to get to bed early tonight until one of my Facebook friends linked to this article: I went to Mexico and took Tabernanthe iboga (Ibogaine) just to see what it was like. It is an interesting read about one young man’s decision to experience a powerful hallucinogenic drug, and what he experienced.
It reminded me of when I was 20 and decided to take LSD (in my pre-Christian days). But what has spurred me to write is not to argue with any of his experience, but to explain what is missing from it – yea, and from ALL such explorations – the knowledge of God, and the understanding that such revelatory experiences are actually and often spiritual deceptions leading us towards death, or at least AWAY from eternal life.
For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

GUIDE: Best Podcasts for Christians
I have subscribed to many podcasts over time, and most of them fail to enlighten significantly. However, a few have stood the test of time, and I enjoy them regularly. You’ll note that most of them are weekly rather than daily – because less often usually means better content.
