Web 2 Digital Bible: Glo from Zondervan

Skilled Workman Posted on October 18, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 18, 2009

I ran across this in my Christian professionals group at Linked In this morning. It is a visually exciting presentation to be sure. My only question is: Can it really be used? I saw no place to add notes, new crossreferences or any of the other things necessary for a real study bible. I’ve included a scan of one of the pages in one of my bibles to show you what I mean. It may be that … Continue reading →

Everyone does what is right in their own eyes…

Skilled Workman Posted on October 4, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 4, 2009

Judges 17:6 (English Standard Version) In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Isn’t this the state of us today? A lack of leadership, plus a rugged individualism. In the world it is indeed hopeless. Our so-called leaders are corrupt and they follow the sheep and/or the flesh—lost in the futility of their minds. So, how do we get beyond this? I must admit I’ve gotten to the … Continue reading →

Making sense of your life…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 27, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 27, 2009

Easier said than done, huh? I’ve been contemplating this issue now that I’ve “retired” — wondering what the Lord would have me do with the rest of  my life. I tend to go by what He blesses. But that is certainly not a reliable indicator. You have to make certain of several things to do that: Are you following His lead? If not any blessings on your direction are probably from the Creep. Are you hearing from … Continue reading →

Why are publishing programs at schools shutting down?

Skilled Workman Posted on August 18, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2009

There are many reasons. I was talking with one of my friends on Facebook this morning. She wants to  get into teaching what she knows. She asked my opinion, and I went into my standard long lament about the state of graphic design and typography education in America. It’s bad, and  it has been bad for years. I first  learned this as an art director for one of the largest printing companies in town. One of our … Continue reading →

Knowing when to move…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 9, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 9, 2009

One of the largest difficulties in my life is easing myself into a project. My normal response is to get really excited and go gung ho ’til I’ve got it as far as I can go. I’ve got a new postulant at Radiqx and what I want to do is start dumping stuff on the poor man and just overwhelm him with input. Now, of course, I don’t think it is overwhelming but it always is to … Continue reading →

The Hackberry Font Foundry forms under a huge tree

Skilled Workman Posted on June 26, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

Some of you may have heard: David’s retired from teaching and is now focusing on font design. He already has an apprentice with more making plans to join the foundry. Obviously, it was time for some changes. The name comes from a huge hackberry tree on the boulevard outside the front door of the foundry. As they add workers Hackberry fonts will be offering fonts from a variety of people. Radiqx is looking forward to the future … Continue reading →

Careful! God is going on vacation

Skilled Workman Posted on May 29, 2009 by David BergslandMay 29, 2009

One of the real surprises when we moved back here to Minnesota after 25 years in New Mexico was Summer. I had grown accustomed to the eight month summers of mid-New Mexico on the high plains south of Albuquerque. March to October I could expect heat and sun. I came to hate the sun. It made it impossible to work outside, and on & on. I was really looking forward to summers in Minnesota. I knew about … Continue reading →

Apprenticeships are arriving… (have arrived)

Skilled Workman Posted on March 14, 2009 by David BergslandMarch 14, 2009

I just posted the following on my Font design and typography blog. I wanted to make sure that you who read this one are aware of it also. As of today, you can email me if you are interested in one of the apprenticeship positions at either Bergsland Typography (the font foundry) or here at Radiqx Press. Bergsland Design is gone! Your bookmarks to the old site will still work, but things have changed a lot. It … Continue reading →

I rarely use phones.
Email is best: david at bergsland dot org
275 Sandalwood Dr, Rochester, NY 14616
This site uses the pseudonyms of Bergsland Design for design work; and Radiqx Press for publishing. Both of these have been used for some time beginning in the past millennium. The Skilled Workman was begun in 2011 dealing with spiritual teachings about our Messiah and the Holy Spirit he sent to us to help us. If you want to meet Jesus, click here.
