Scrapbooking
On somewhat of a whim, Kristen and I decided to start scrapbooking this weekend. We went out and bought some supplies (including a photo printer) and sat down most of Sunday Afternoon and worked on a scrapbook to try and capture some of the memories we have. The photo printer we bought has been so…

The cardboard box end table
I just read an interesting article on Wired.com about people who can’t resist the urge to use Apple‘s wonderfully designed packaging materials in odd ways, such as furniture. I’ll admit that the times that we’ve received new mac hardware in the office I’ve had a longing to keep the boxes sitting around me, available for…

Some site updates
I thought it might be a good idea to spruce things up around here a bit and change things around a little. The updates will continue as I think of things I would like to change, but most of the changes that I’ve made for now are pretty apparent. Soon I’ll be moving my photos…

Back to life
Even though I’ve been out of school for some time now, the summer still tends to free me up from a lot of commitments that I have throughout the rest of the year. Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) doesn’t meet all summer, I don’t have any classes and things just don’t seem to be as busy.…

Stoked about the iPod Nano
Apple fanatics have been waiting for this week for a month or so now. Rumors have been flying of an iTunes-enabled cell phone, though the need for such a device is in question by many. This morning I got the chance to check out a webcast of the recent press conference held by Apple and…

Trying something different
Tonight for dinner we tried something a little different… shishkabobs! We’ve never made them before and Kristen thought it would be fun so she had the meat and vegetables marinating in the refrigerator all day and this evening we prepared them and put them on the grill. It took a little longer than we thought…

Classes begin again
It’s time to get back at it. My class starts tonight and I’m looking forward to it somewhat. The class is a Business and Commercial Law class and I think that it will be somewhat interesting. Hopefully it won’t be a bunch of stuff that I’ll never need to know. I’m going today to get…

A great weekend!
We had a very good weekend! We got a chance to go out and do some shopping and get a few things that we wanted and needed. Elder Beerman had their Moonlight Madness sale going on so we got a few things for 50% off. Saturday night was the Richmond Bicentennial Parade so I took…

Some minor site updates
I made a few updates to the site last night to improve the page loading times throughout the site. I hope you can tell a difference! I also added some photos to the gallery if you haven’t noticed already. I’m thinking about doing a minor overhaul of the gallery code as well, so be watching…

A strange thing…
I wouldn’t think anything of this if it hadn’t happened one or two times before… Today I was sitting at my desk at work. I opened the drawer on my left and noticed my watch (which has had a dead battery for nearly 3 years) sitting there. I pulled it out and noticed that it…
Got any book recommendations?
