Well, I’m moving forward on Chaplaincy. Of course, by “moving forward”, I mean, “waiting around for people to respond to important questions and getting older by the minute”. It can’t be helped, though. I knew that my denomination and I have our quirky little differences of opinion, but in reading the belief statements prior to [...]
Over the past two months I have been relocating myself and my family. I went to the new location about a month before the rest of the family. I slept on two air mattresses stacked on side-by-side cots. All in all, not a bad arrangement when it comes to Urban Camping. I’m very happy/relieved to [...]
No, not ME. AJ He’s got a bet with his friends. If he can get one billion unique hits on his site, without spending tupence on advertising, he gets £1000, but most importantly, he makes the short list in the Geek Hall of Fame. So what are you still doing here? Go show some love!

Some of you may remember that I did some writing prior to this blog opening. I lost a substantial amount of it when my other blog died, and it is with much thanks to Andres Perales that I have a new place to write. I have located some of my old writings, though. I will [...]
I don’t usually do this sort of thing, but I’m tied up with labors, education, and finishing an essay for you people on The War. So in the interim, there is this really hillarious Blonde Joke over at Dean’s World …
So I’m looking around the Inter-Web for some research material for a paper I am writing for Grad School. This is how I find the good stuff, by the way. Take a look at the Spell With Flikr utility, scripted by Erik Kastner. Truly cool, that. Here’s an example: By the way, Erik (whom I [...]
There are times when I feel the need to write about the profound events surrounding me. This, however, is not one of them. This is one of those rare occasions that I feel good about sharing some of the mundanities of my life. No need to gush. To those of you in America, to my [...]
