Occasionally a company will do something unexpected that will put a smile on your face.  These instances seem to be rare these days, but still, every now and then the fates will smile upon you.  I’ve had two such experiences in the last couple of weeks, and feel I need to give some Kudos to […]

I’m still in the middle of reading Countdown, so you get a reprieve from the boring-ass book posts.  Instead, I’ve got a couple of cool things to share with you.
First, you may recall a while back I was plugging for my brother since he and his fiancé were finalists for a free wedding from Bloomington, […]

Hey folks,
I’m in the process of changing my ISP for my sites, with this one being the first to move. Hopefully it will go smoothly, but there will be some down time as it gets going.

Normally, I would say, Dance Dance Revolution? No, thank you. I may be a nerd, but I’m not into that. I mean, that is like asking me if I’d like to go skydiving. And no, thank you, no reason to jump out of a perfectly good plane. Likewise, why stomp […]

Well, I just updated wordpress and switched themes…I’ve got a ways to go still…and comments still aren’t being sent through email right, but hopefully I’ll get that worked out over the next couple of days. As a side note, things with the election seem to be starting to go better, and I hope you […]

I’ve been struggling a lot lately with my place in the spiritual world. So I thought (and the word ends up overused in this post) serendipitous that my brother yesterday called me asking me to right a ‘form’ letter to retreatents for (and I use this spelling to keep people from finding this when […]

If I never read another word that Descartes wrote, I will be a happier man. First of all, even Descartes contemporaries (in the Rejections, as the book had Rejections from others, and then a Response to each rejection) said that he hadn’t presented a new idea throughout the entire work. Not to mention, […]
