    Sticking my head up for a moment

    Feels like it has been forever since I posted last, though looking at my last post about the iPhone I guess it hasn’t really been that long. Either way, I thought that it would be a good time to stick my head out and say hi and update everyone on what I’ve been up to.…

  • My Music: Always

    My Music: Always

    This song is called “Always” and I wrote it a year or so ago and just now finished re-recording it. I’m playing all of the instruments and my brother Mitchell is singing. I’d love your feedback!

  • Marked by an assassin

    Marked by an assassin

    I received this message today and nearly killed myself laughing. I don’t recall ever receiving this type of message before and applaud the sender for his wit. I especially like how he’s tried to mask his identity as “The Assassin” but his name and email address(es) are clearly available in the sender details. Have fun!…

  • Christmas Memory: In the era of BMX bikes and checkered print

    Christmas Memory: In the era of BMX bikes and checkered print

    As a kid I had only one Christmas tradition that I can recall, the tradition of trying to catch Santa in the act of distributing gifts. Year after year I would wake up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and make my way to the Christmas tree, hoping to catch a peek…

  • Snowy Evening

    Snowy Evening

    After being indoors for almost two days solid and trying to combat the annoying symptoms of the common cold, I decided last night to run to the local Kmart to pick up a couple of items. It was nearly 9:30 and they would be closing at 10:00, so the parking lot was nearly empty. I…

    The Chrysler Building in matchsticks

    I started an interesting hobby this last weekend. It sort of came upon me out of the blue when Kristen and I were walking around Veach’s, a local toy store supreme. As I was walking around looking at all of the cool edutainment games they have I noticed the “Matchitecture” kits they had. Some of…

  • Bathroom is finished!

  • Experiencing the Jury Pool

    Experiencing the Jury Pool

    I experienced today, for the first time, being a member of a jury pool. I had some expectations going into the process and most of them turned out to be true. There was a lot sitting and a lot of waiting. First there was the pre-jury-selection phase which involved me and the other 30 or…

  • A quick update

    A quick update

    I’ve got some updates coming soon, including the 2nd episode of my vidcast! I’m working on getting that exported now and will hopefully get it online today. Things have been busy with work so I haven’t had a lot of time to work on other things but I’ve got a few things in the pipeline,…

  • Celebrating 5 years of marriage!

    Today is August 10th, and five years ago today on a hot Saturday, Kristen and I were married at the First United Methodist Church in Richmond Indiana. It was a whirlwind of a day and we were not too sad to get the day over with and get on with our normal lives. We’ve been…
