Life as it is now
Never do I remember having such a peaceful period in my life. There are very few stresses right now and things seem to generally be going very well. As Kristen and I settle into our house (it’s taking a little longer than we expected) a vision of the future becomes a little clearer; a vision…

The Bad Songs
The other night at Bible Study Fellowship my mind jumped to a tangent from something that had been said in our lecture. I don’t recall what the statement was or what it was related to but I’m sure that it had almost nothing to do with the resulting tangent, which made it all the more…

You can't go home again, so why leave?
When I was in high school most of my thoughts of graduation were focused on the fact that I would finally be able to move away from Indiana. I had big plans, I was going to go to college in Boston and after that move out to Los Angeles to work in a recording studio.…

Another Golden Age of Television
I’ve never been a big fan of many television shows in general. Most generally the plotlines of the shows either weren’t very interesting or they weren’t intended to require long-term investment. Sure, there was CSI, Law & Order and a few other token shows that were known for their popularity, but other than the backstories…

Online communities hurting "real" communities?
I’ll admit it, I’m an extreme introvert. Not only am I uncomfortable in social settings, but I’ll usually go out of my way to aviod putting myself in such situations. It’s a psychosis that my wife, a textbook example of an extrovert, as well as most other extroverts just cannot fathom. Some would say that…

More about the band geeks
They’ve been poked fun at many times in movies (and in high school halls). They’re the band geeks, and we’re a misunderstood bunch. Yes, band geeks are interested in things that most other high school students couldn’t care less about; marching, playing music, spending our entire summers AT THE SCHOOL, and most of all even…

Journler: Great, free journal software for the Mac
Since April of this year I’ve been doing a lot of journaling. Something about hitting my mid-twenties (and sometimes forgetting things I never thought I would) has made me realize my need to keep track of the things that happen in my life. Obviously there are many apps out there that would allow me to…

The Imminent Switch
I’ve rambled on and on about my love for Apple and their products many many times on this website. Make no mistake, I love Apple as a company, their products and what they represent. Their unfailing ability to produce hardware and software that is far above all others is something that I admire greatly. I’ve…

Welcome Pepper!
After several years of wanting a dog Kristen and I are very excited to welcome Pepper into our home! Pepper is a Pug puppy that is around 6 weeks old and she’s very playful. We got her this weekend and we’ve been having a lot of fun with her. Our cat Pansy isn’t too fond…

We're homeowners!
Well, it has been an amazing journey getting to this point but Kristen and I are now homeowners! We recently made an offer (which has since been accepted) on a house on the west side of town. It’s a 3 bedroom 1 bath house with a 2 car detached garage. It has no basement, which…
