Saturday 30 | Prayer and Fasting
I was over at The Seeker’s Journey reading about the new year and changes we should make.
One of those changes will hopefully be my blogsite, which I desire to be more Christ and Biblically centered than just posts expressing my opinions, whether those opinions are right or wrong.
However, while I do want to keep this [...] -
Friday 29 | Am I Pretty
* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 45 *
I’ve been think about the look and feel of my site lately. Wondering if it’s old and dated, boring and dull or just too much stuff to find your way around. I’ve played with other layouts at other sites like PhotoJulia.com and IversonInteriors.com but those [...] -
Friday 29 | Freedom Writers
Last night, Julia and I went to a special screening of Freedom Writers with a friend and I must say, I was very impressed. When I first saw the trailer, I was expecting another variation on the troubled students overcome obstacles story much like Lean on Me, Stand and Deliver, Dangerous Minds and the [...]

Thursday 28 | Movie Meme
Here’s a meme everyone can do. Radioactive Jam tipped me off to this one and I discovered that we have very similar movie watching histories. So there are 252 movies on this list, and supposedly if you have seen more than 85, you have no life yet most of those who have taken [...]

Wednesday 27 | Resolutions and God’s Grace
As the new year begins we are often asked about any resolutions we may have made. To eat better, smoke less, work harder, etc. But are we just working towards a better self or are we working to a better relationship with God?
I personally don’t make New Year’s resolutions. Partly because I am [...] -
Monday 25 | Christmas Music
Christmas music is a serious matter. A good Christmas song can last the ages – so can a bad one (see Star Wars Christmas). One of my favorite albums is Edge of Christmas which includes Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues plus songs by The Cocteau Twins, The Payolas and Kate Bush among others. [...]

Saturday 23 | White and Nerdy
A friend tipped me off to this Weird Al video – White and Nerdy.
“White & Nerdy” is the second single from “Weird Al” Yankovic’s album Straight Outta Lynwood, which was released on September 26, 2006. It parodies the song “Ridin’” by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. The song both laments and revels in nerdiness, as recited [...] -
Thursday 21 | Gift Bag vs Wrapping Paper
The issue of Gift Bas vs. Wrapping paper came up over at Michele’s today (and over lunch at work).
According to the BBC: For most of us, it’s a Christmas afterthought. But to a growing number the wrapping of a Christmas present is every bit as important as the gift inside, and messy wrapping [...] -
Wednesday 20 | 3 rules for buying gifts for women
My good friend (and co-worker) Mike recently shared his 3 rules for buying women gifts. Now this is sage advise that every man should follow when looking to purchase something special for someone special.
Rule #1
If you’re in a store and you feel comfortable – leave!
The idea here is you aren’t shopping for yourself, your [...] -
Monday 18 | Rudolph the Anti-Gospel Reindeer
With the holidays coming upon us, I am reminded of the classic Christian debate regarding our traditions of Christmas.
It’s pretty safe to say that many people who celebrate Christmas (in the U.S.) are celebrating a secular holiday vs. celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. But with that comes the question about how [...] -
Sunday 17 | We have adjusted your subscription
It’s been two weeks since my big surprise. So a couple of weeks ago people started asking me “how’s the new TV treating you?” to which I had a few responses but mostly i just said it was nice and how my old one was starting to show it’s age. They also would [...]

Wednesday 13 | Hungry? Get Feed
I received a comment on a recent post which I felt compelled* to share
RaJ: Fries = food (sort of) = feed = reminds me: yours seems broken, at least when used for a Firefox live bookmark.
Me: Re: feed – I know. I’m working on it.
Re: food – BK=”sort of” McD/Taco Bell = [...] -

Wednesday 6 | 20 ways to make yourself the least popular person in the room
‘Tis the season for love, cheer and goodwill toward men. So they say. The reality is that expectations are unattainably high — for mood, for behavior, for warm, fuzzy family togetherness, for the joy and wonder we’re supposed to feel and spread all around. For most folks, that’s more than a tall order — it’s [...]

Tuesday 5 | Iverson Interiors
* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 853 *
I recently launched a new site for Iverson Interiors. It was going to be one of thos fancy Flash-based sites but I quickly realized that the I didn’t want to buy the software needed nor invest the time necessary to learn Flash and develope a cool [...] -
Sunday 3 | I Love My Job
more specifically, my company’s Christmas Party
specifically, door prizes
specifically the fact that I won the big prize
(vs last year where I won a bar set*)
Specifically… THIS! -
Saturday 2 | Dear Rubio’s
I filled out one of those online surveys for Rubio’s today and thought I’d share what I wrote.
One issue I have with Rubio’s (and this is true of all the Rubio’s I visit) is the problem with using customer names. While the idea is not an issue (I can remember my name better than a [...]

Friday 1 | U2Charist
So, I just heard about this but apparently many Episcopal churches have been having what is commonly know as a U2Charist (U2 + Eucharist) and like many of you my first thought was… “What the heck is a Eucharist?” Basic answer – it’s communion. But for those not familiar with Communion, that’s the [...]
