Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • A unique opportunity

    I received a call this weekend from a friend from high school that I don’t get to talk to very often. He’s in school to become a band director and he’s working with Centerville High School’s drum line this summer to get them ready for their competitions. He’s a little short-handed and wanted to know…

  • 4th of July Weekend

    If there’s one thing I love more than the weekend it’s a 3-day weekend. It’s nice to really be able to get some rest in and spend time with family and friends in the process. This weekend, as if it were avoidable, was 4th of July weekend and for the U.S. that means the celebration…

  • Getting ready for Florida

    With only one week left until Kristen and I hit the road for Florida, we’re getting very excited and can almost taste the ocean air. Though we’re there for a wedding, we’re really hoping to turn it into a vacation as well. With visits to the beach and hopefully other fun activities planned, we’re looking…

  • The power of music… again

    While working today I was listening to a song. It’s a song that at one time I listened to very often back when I first got out of high school. I would be driving back and forth each day to Indianapolis for work and during long car rides I got to listen to lots of…

  • Zombies are coming!

    Found this somewhat interesting article on a website that I visit daily. I can’t imagine that this will ever turn into anything but I thought that it was interesting. Zombie Dogs!

  • Last night of class

    Six long weeks of class are coming to an end and I’m very happy. I’ve been very surprised at how well I’ve done in this class but the time requirement was greater than I remember it being in past classes. Typically I had close to 2 hours of homework 2 nights a week and then…

  • Local business wins again

    As I’ve mentioned before, Kristen and I are going to be going to Florida in July for a wedding. Kristen’s cousin is getting married and Kristen is going to be a bride’s maid in the wedding. As part of our preparation for the wedding I needed to get a sport coat. The one I had…

  • In the works…

    I’m currently working on something for this website that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. It’s a look at my history as a website designer, how I got started as well as examples of very early and intermediate websites that I developed. It’s very exciting for me to see that I have…

  • Michael Jackson

    I’m not a huge fan of Michael Jackson these days but yesterday I found myself counting down the minutes until the verdict was announced. I found myself hoping that he wouldn’t be found guilty and I found myself excited when he was in fact found not guilty of all counts. For whatever reason I’ve somehow…

  • Various updates

    Back in the Gym! After a long absense from the fitness arena, I’m back in and I’m loving it. Jamie and I are lifting Sunday through Thursday and things are going great. We’ve been doing it for close to a month now and I’m finally starting to get my strength back to what it was…

Got any book recommendations?
