I mentioned back in August that the guys who were once in my youth group are now out in Seattle trying to make it big as muscians. They are a talented bunch and I know that someday I will...
It was today (sorry about the choice of categories -- I put this under "politics" today, but if the Democrats take over Congress in November, I will probably be able to move from "politics" to "random tidbits" the next time...
While a 20 oz. bottle of dark cherry vanilla coke can look very similar to a 20 oz. bottle of regular coke at 7:00 a.m., it will definately taste nothing like regular coke regardless of what time of day it...
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed" She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out...
I have loved and followed Nascar for almost 20 years now. I fell in love with Nascar and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. I watched every race every week and went to about 2-3 races a year. Charlotte and...
I'm a planner, so I think about my next summer vacation usually right after I take the current year's vacation. Plus when you plan early, sometimes you get a really great deal. The beach is always a big hit with...

I have to brag about myself right now. I've been having a pretty crappy time at work recently but somehow I drag myself there every day. Yesterday I was given two coins in appreciation for the help I have given...
The AGNULA Project uses Linux to create a low-latency, theoretical crash-free audio recording platform. There are many pitfalls to this system as-is, but I’m curious to see what it could become.
For an overview, check out Linux & Music from a...

The Homecoming festivites were a huge success. The girls looked stunning and excited. The Homecoming Queen canidates waited anxiously as Mr. Tom Lord announced the winner. "Your 2006-2007 Homecoming Queen is Miss Lauren Flores." The girls were shocked and amazed...
Im still just kickin' it around Chicago. I found a moment to duck into a coffee shop, get a chai latte, and use some free wireless internet. Ive been to two Christian schools so far today. At one, I talked...
Russ Arbuthnot took photos from Don Caballero’s American Don sessions at Electrical Audio. The session was engineered by Steve Albini. The original post was by Russ on the Electrical Message Board. It includes a list of the microphones used and...
Under the argument advanced here, any cubic building not used for purposes consistent with Sharia is an affront to Islam. Actually, that's probably the point. ...
Last night, Harold Ford, Jr. supporters met at the Silver Ballroom at the Read House -- the same place where the Congressman had hosted a prayer breakfast that morning -- to watch the Chattanooga debate between Ford and Corker. For...
About a year ago, I was reading the Light and Life Publishing book, by Anthony Coniaris, Confronting and Controlling Your Thoughts According to the Fathers of the Philokalia. I posted a few times citing portions of the book and...
Supporters turned out at UTC before the debate on Tuesday, and even though we're in Corker's hometown, the Ford crowd ournumbered Corker's. The weather was beautiful and some Ford fans came with a sound system, so the crowd was able...
The latest browser usage statistics were just released yesterday. The results were as expected. Firefox (and even Safari) is still experiencing steady growth, now representing some 12% of the market (Safari is nearing 4%). Internet Explorer is at 82%, it's...
Our library is having a fund raiser. Perhaps you've heard the news. It made national news after all. Apparently the wisdom of the day is to have a nightclub event in our local library. Doesn't that just sound sweet? Barney...
STL United opened the season with a two game slump. Despite my goal-line clearance, we let one in late for a tough 1-0 loss, followed by a meek 3-1 outing. I'm doing foot drills to get those legs back. Thanks...
I, for one, thought last night's debate was a truer representation of the acrimony that obviously exists between the two candidates (parties?) than anything I have seen before. Both were committed to lobbing as many "grenades" as possible at each other...
Today marks the thirty-seventh week of Pamela’s pregnancy. “Kiki” could be here as early as Friday when we visit the high-risk specialist. Five years ago when Pamela was pregant with Aidan that is exactly what happened. One...
Why is it that the crazier school gets, the more my domestic goddess cries for attention? Amidst the reading, writing, studying and researching, I’m driven to cook, clean, sew, do crafts and daydream about becoming Bree Van de Camp one...
Go see it.
If there is a better actor that Jack Nicholson I don’t know who it is. He puts in an absolutely masterful performance and I have now officially learned never to believe that Nicholson has done his best work. He...
