It’s very simple, really. They brought me this: I make jokes about awesomeness all the time. That is truly awesome. The dad in that video is a friend of mine from college. Unfortunately I’ve barely spoken to him since then, but we hooked up on Facebook a while ago, and I’ve been watching Adam’s progression through his Facebook posts. Adam has had that for 3 years – virtually his entire life. That video is . . . → Read More: Why Facebook and YouTube are cool This is funny, but not what I'm after. I saw an article today stating that the BBC ran a survey and received results showing it was “anti-Christian” and ageist. I don’t live in the UK, nor do I watch any current BBC shows other than Doctor Who. This article doesn’t give any numbers or specifics, either, so I really can’t confirm or deny the veracity of what it says (though I can’t say I . . . → Read More: Christianity on TV I can’t remember precisely the last time somebody took a needle and jammed it into my gums multiple times. I can’t remember the date, but I vividly remember the experience. And the crying. And the fear… no: terror. It’s been a long, long time. And I was okay with that being an experience in my past. I was over it. Well, I thought I was over it. Today I had my 6-month dental check-up. Six . . . → Read More: My experience with the “c” word The truth, it is said, is a three-edged sword: your side, their side, and reality – and it cuts in all directions. Lately the education system is in the news a lot. Specifically, Wisconsin and its government’s moves to reduce (or on the other side, protect) the power of the teacher’s unions is currently on display. And everyone is watching. Most people (especially the politicians) are trying to simplify the argument. Teacher benefits are out . . . → Read More: Everybody’s right, everybody’s wrong Last week I showed you something embarrassing: my desk. My "Workstation" I promised that I would show you a clean desk by Tuesday. Honestly, I wasn’t sure it would happen. I have a less than stellar record when it comes to cleaning. But I knew it had to be done, and I wanted to pressure myself into completing it. Through the 4-hour effort, here are some of the things I found: Bills and statements . . . → Read More: Miracles DO happen! In the 7 day challenge, today’s topic is: Create a blog post on a subject I’ve never blogged about here before. Maybe this one is cheating. I don’t know. It depends on how you define the subject of this post. I’m choosing to look at it as either about self-worth or “What Not to Wear” – neither of which I’ve touched on before to my knowledge. Yes, “What Not to Wear.” I’ve watched it. Shut up. . . . → Read More: Plastic People – 7 day challenge In the 7 day challenge, today’s topic is: Share a photo I took this week and tell you about it. This is actually getting out of hand. It’s a little embarrassing. My "Workstation" This is where I sit all day. You can only see the front portion of the desk here. The half of the desk behind the screens is almost as cluttered. I’ve always had a messy desk. Always. Just ask my college roommate . . . → Read More: What I see every day – 7 day challenge I’ve felt like I’ve been neglecting this blog lately, and wanted to get focused on it again. As it happens, I ran across the 7 day Challenge from Andrew Emmett‘s blog (via Lee’s entry), which seems like a good idea to get me started again. The idea is to write 300 to 400 words about each of the following questions over the next week: What the purpose of my website is, who I am and . . . → Read More: Identity: 7 day challenge (I’m pretty much stealing this post from Walt. I didn’t ask him. Is that a breach of civility?) So the Today show is doing a series called “Is Civility Dead?” Below is the initial segment. Sorry to those outside the US – it’s from Hulu (I couldn’t find it on YouTube). And for those in the US… only available until Sunday. I totally agree with everything in that segment. Did incivility exist before the . . . → Read More: Death of Civility I spent this weekend in a house owned by my family in the mountains. We do this a few times a year. My father’s family had been coming to this area for many years, staying in one of the many cabins in the area before they bought the small house nestled in a valley by a creek. I’ve been coming here since the 1970′s – in other words, all my life. I’ve heard stories for . . . → Read More: The day I was chased by a tree – a lesson viscerally learned |
