  • We’re Moving!

    ·

    As I have mentioned a few times over the last month or so, we are moving to St. Clair, Michigan. Well, it finally happens this weekend! That means we’ll be packing up the computer tonight and I won’t be getting online reliably for a week and a half. My postings during that time will likely…

  • The Last Day

    ·

    Yesterday was my wife’s last day of work and my last day as a Stay-At-Home-Dad (SAHD).  This is a pretty big deal for us.  I’ve written about the day itself here and posted a bunch of pictures as well. The biggest part of it is the changing of roles.  The two of us have had…

  • The Convenience of Lying

    ·

    We lie. All the time. We lie to cover our mistakes. We lie to make ourselves look or feel better. We lie. Even when we should know better, we lie anyway.

  • Cargo Container Church

    ·

    I’m claiming it now.  I want to do a cargo container church.  I’ve been reading Ready Made and Dwell and I know that people have transformed old cargo containers into living space.

  • For Stonum, Steep Learning Curve for Blown Chances

    ·

    Maybe when you are a sports fan, hearing that an athlete got drunk doesn’t register as the worst offense ever.  That he got behind the wheel of a car should be shocking, but it isn’t even surprising.  So when an extremely talented football player was arrested in 2008 for drunk driving, it really didn’t register.…

  • Web On Strike Tomorrow!

    ·

    Tomorrow is the official day of the global strike to help prevent Congress and the Senate from passing SOPA and PIPA, two bills intending to deal with privacy, but would instead, grant incredible power to corporations to not only sue, but completely remove sites from the web for what they decide is copyright infringement.  For…

  • Oh, How We Need The Dream

    ·

    A year and a half ago, I wrote a post about “the dream speech” by Martin Luther King, Jr.  In it, I wrote the following: …I will share how I, living in the country transformed by this moment, still respond to Dr. King’s words. When Dr. King says, toward the opening of the famous “I…
