My name is Ben Chenoweth, and I'm currently a teacher at Donvale Christian College, in Melbourne, Australia. I've worked overseas with Wycliffe Bible Translators, and in Australia as a secondary and tertiary teacher. (I was the Educational Designer / eLearning Coordinator at Melbourne School of Theology for four years, and taught at Eastern College for some of that time.)
My main interests are music, writing, theology and various combinations of those. I have a number of other interests, including reading, crosswords (especially cryptics and metas), and computer games. I also enjoy programming. My About Me website (https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about) was put together as an HTML/CSS demonstration for my Year 10 Computing class. Another interesting programming project is my EPUB Metadata Editor (an open-source project on GitHub).

Holes in one are the dream of every golfer. Or so I'm told since I've only ever played 9 holes of golf in my entire life. And I very much did not make a hole in one. Far from it! I remember teeing off on hole 10 (we were playing the back nine, you…
Fleetwood Mac's classic song "The Chain" was, according to the band members, cobbled together from different musical ideas that came together in the studio. It's a cool song, but it actually doesn't have anything specific to do with the meta. I was…
It's mid-winter down under, and that means it's time for Christmas in July! You have no idea how strange it is to sing winter-related songs in December when it is 40 degrees in the shade (and that's 40 degrees Celsius, which is 104 degrees Fahrenheit…
