  • Wednesday 31 | Ricardo Montalban and Fine Corinthian Leather

    Ricardo Montalbán and Fine Corinthian Leather. It was recently mentioned on another blog and I thought I would share the story as I know it. Keep in mind that I am not an authority on the subject and by all means may be completely wrong but this is how I heard it and, [...]

  • Thursday 25 | Was Jesus Married?

    I was reading around the web a while back and came across a post that asked a question which I suspect is probably very common today. It’s derived from the Da Vinci Code but our response doesn’t have to be framed in that context.
    I am listening to radio shows and people are [...]

  • Wednesday 24 | Model Home Decorating Business

    My wife is in the Model Home Decorating Business. Yup, there is a Model Home Decorating Business. My wife works for one of the top three companies where we live. Imagine, there’s a big enough market for there to be a top three. As a result, we get lots of requests for design tips. Ok, [...]

  • Tuesday 23 | The Seeker’s Journey

    I thought I’d invite you to visit another one of my blog friends today. Wendy is not only a fun read, she is very rooted in Christ and offers some profound insights into our own struggles of self-doubt, personal conflict and worldly attacks – all while staying grounded in scripture. Admittedly she doesn’t [...]

  • Monday 22 | Big jobs that pay badly

    “How do you become a millionaire in Architecture?”
    “Start with ten million.”
    It’s an old joke but notoriously true. And now we have proof.
    Accourding to an article on CNNmoney.com Architecture is one career that costs time and money to take up but doesn’t equate to a big paycheck.
    For every Philip Johnson or Frank Lloyd Wright in [...]

  • Friday 19 | Dorkwad Church

    I was hoping you could pray for our desire to find a building. We are spending too much where we are for what we get, and I feel God is pressing us to find something different. We don’t have the resources, so please pray for God’s blessings for us financially. Also, please [...]

  • Tuesday 16 | Christian Divorce

    In my travels through the blogosphere and In Real Life (IRL) I have encountered many people who are faced with the issue of divorce. Now admittedly, many are not christian so the issue for them is how to divide up our stuff and who gets to keep the dog (or cat). But for [...]

  • Friday 12 | Dizzy-Land

    If I wanted to be dizzy, I’d go back to Disneyland.

    Work is was driving me crazy. About a year ago I was put in charge of two projects. A big step for me in my career. Up until then, I had only been working on someone else’s projects. But [...]

  • Friday 12 | Why I Switch Hosting Companies

    Too many outages…
    Earlier this afternoon, there was a problem involving one of our filing systems which affected performance on a large part of our network. The problem has been handled and all major services have been restored, although performance may be a little slow for the next few hours as various things come back up [...]

  • Friday 12 | Friday’s Ark

    So I thought I’d post this image as it has been popular with those who’ve seen it and those who haven’t are definitely missing out. Now, I realize not everyone is a cat fan (heck, I’ve never had a cat – mom was alergic) but even the most anti cat person can appreciate this [...]

  • Thursday 11 | High Maintenace: Defined

    Michele Agnew asked “What is your definition of a high-maintenance woman?” Now there were lots of anwsers, it got me think about it and this is what I posted.
    High Maintenace is about how much you think about yourself and more specifically, how much you think others should think about you.
    This takes on many forms [...]

    Ylympics is just another time wasting internet game that sucks you in and bleeds you dry – I love it. A series of 5, highly defined graphic, games that are prettier versions of games you’ve probably already played but hey, now they are all in one place. Yeti themed, and with a fun [...]

  • Monday 8 | Stack Overflow?

    I keep getting an error message when my site loads.
    stack overflow at line: 1354
    I haven’t changed anything so I’m guessing it’s a third party plugin problem or link or something. Do you get this message? Is it isolated to IE? What gives?
    In case you’re wondering, I’m posting for the sake of posting. [...]

  • Thursday 4 | 1and1 and then some

    Looks like I may be moving this site again after all. I started with 1and1 web hosting back in the beginning and was very happy with them. I still use them for all my domain registration needs and other sites but my primary site (that’s what you’re reading now) needed more storage and [...]

  • Thursday 4 | The “I” Meme

    I wasn’t tagged with this but when i saw it, I decided I wanted to do it, so here goes…

  • Thursday 4 | Featured Album: Scenic

    So I haven’t posted in a few days (been pretty busy at work) so I thought I’d throw out a featured Gallery Album (click on picture). I had wanted to talk about the May 1st protests but I already offended some one when I said how happy I was that traffic was so light [...]

  • Monday 1 | SETI Fiction: They’re Made Out Of Meat – redux
