I’ve been using NetNewsWire as my RSS feed reader for a while … maybe a year or more. Prior to that I’d tried Vienna and another reader (NewsFire, I think). Vienna was OK, and it was free, but then they...
So, I’m sitting in the office, trying to catch up on work. This is not easy when you have to re-adjust yourself to working with Windows Vista instead of Mac OS X, and there aren’t even good Windows equivalents of...
Our class made the front page of The Pulse as part of an article on CreateHere, a local initiative to make Chattanooga a creative force to be reckoned with!...
Thanks John, can’t ask for nicer praise than that. Don’t forget to let the Coudal folks know who you think won today’s match-up. Update: This link now points a screenshot of my image at the time of volley (the archive...
Eight years ago, as I was helping to form a local chapter of the Green Party, I learned that the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) had endorsed then-Green Party* candidate Ralph Nader for President. On Monday, January 28, 2008,...
I'm still really torn in terms of who I might vote for when I finally have a chance to weigh in on February 5th. The Big Dog's snarling and sniping has put me off of casting a vote for Billary,...
In response to LifeHacker’s FlickrDown “Featured Windows Download”, it is pretty pathetic. At least in relative comparison to FlickrBackup. FlickrBackup is much prettier, stabler, intuitive(er?), and less cachey. When I tried FlickrDown, it didn’t display all of...
This is all just rumors so far. I truly hope that there may be something to this.
Mark is going to be a free agent at the end of this season and might just be the best 1st baseman in MLB...
Wow. I missed this one when it first aired. Ron Paul appeared on Meet the Press on December 23. I side with some of Paul’s ideas and policies (in theory), but Tim Russert asks the questions every Paul supporter should...
I get to work from home two days a week, which is generally awesome. Here's a picture of the view from my desk on a standard work-from-home day. The short person standing on the other side of the door saying...
Well once again the Caucasian LGBT blogosphere is abuzz about how homophobic Barack Obama is because he has gotten an endorsement from an "anti-gay" minister. As if he can control who endorses him. Personally I think that many of the...
Last night, the six candidates running for the partial term in the seat left open by Marti Rutherford's resignation faced residents of Brainerd (along with campaign supporters that came with each) in a 90-minute forum that was followed by a...
I attended the District 6 City Council candidates forum last night. It was good to have a chance to hear from all of the candidates and feel like, for the first time, when I vote for someone I have something to...
I'm a long way from forming an opinion about who I will vote for in the presidential elections, but I will say I just had a WOW moment. I have been watching some video clips online of Barak Obama and his...
For those of you who DON'T know the story behind this picture, this is what the guys on my hall put on the door to my dorm room while I was going to Covenant College while I was out one...
I've noticed my face doesn't look as good as it used to lately, so I went to Oil of Olay's web-site where they suggested I purchase their Definity line of skin care. I did. The directions for the moisturizer include...
For those who are interested, I have accepted an internship at the International Bureau of the FCC for the summer of 2008. I'll be working with the Strategic Analysis and Negotiations Bureau, probably helping them prepare for a major telecommunications...
I got a big kick out of this.
So Bush’s inspiring, prosyletizing Methodist is in fact a silver-tongued horse thief fleeing from a lynch mob.
Perfect....

Lately I have really been shocked by the Democratic campaign. But I'm also glad that the Black folks who have been running around for a decade calling Bill Clinton the first Black President can see the Clintons for what they...
Right now, I’ve very, very, very glad that I got burned a few years back by not backing up my data and have been doing so diligently in the years since.
When I was in college, I had a catastrophic...
FAXMACHINEANTHEMS IS BACK ONLINE! this last month has been... well... epic. epic challenges, changes, and lessons. cheezy? i think so. poignant? you bet.since my last post i have become an entirely different man. i lopped off all the locks, for...
I haven't been taking very many photos at all lately, so I'm afraid until the weather gets warmer and less dreary, you'll be seeing lots of creatures from the aquarium. This one is from my December visit, and I searched...
My sister recommended this film called Once to me. It was refreshingly non-Hollywoodish. The cast was made up of musicians that had not acted before which gave it an earthy realness. This song from the movie is just beautiful....
Here is one of my first reflections about my time in Japan. I posted it at World Magazine's web-zine. The title is "They Prayed and Wept For Japan." I wish I was fluent in Japanese. I would have understood more of...
I can hear some people's reaction to this already: "We don't need no Yankee cop coming down here to tell us how to run our city." But I have read before about the successes that Providence, Rhode Island has...

Being out of it, littererly and figuratively the last few days has really helped my head I think. Then again thinking has been difficult. I’ve hated not working, I’m used to being able to do some work from home at...
While I love all photos of my sweet boy this one pulls me in because of the memory. This was taken during the weeks my parents and little sisters were here. We were all on our way down to a...
