Now what?

A mishmash of thoughts on religion, life, technology, and whatnot.

Apple Passes Microsoft

The New York Times posted a graph showing the stock price of Apple and Microsoft over the last 20 years. It was announced a couple of days ago that Apple's market capitalization put it ahead of Microsoft, making it America's largest tech company. I've been an Apple fan since our Elementary school ...

The iPad After a Few Days

My impressions of the iPad after a couple of days of using it. First off, this thing is a little heavier than it should be. I wouldn't mind having just one battery, with the ability to add on our snap in the additional battery. I think the limitation of only having ...

Critical Success, Commercial Failure – Cops: Sumatanga

For the last few years, I've come up with a camp rules video for Summer camps. After a couple of years of milking the Turkey Vulture video (part two was never uploaded, I need to find that one), we stole a concept from another camp and went crazy with it. I ...

Delusional Alabama Fans

The Nooma Video I Couldn’t Watch…Until Now — Matthew

As big a fan as I am of Rob Bell, there's one Nooma video that I just never could watch. Episode #12, Matthew. I guess it's just that I couldn't really related to it. I had never unexpectedly lost someone that I was more than just an acquaintance with. I guess ...

The Best Music of 2009

Favorite Albums This Year: • Cracker - Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey Cracker was one my favorite bands in college. In the 90's they released some of the best albums of the decade. Catchy songs with quirky subjects. In the 00's, they seemed to have lost their direction...until ...

Naked in the Airport

We spend $75 billion on security, and we can't keep a guy on a list from getting on a plane? (or can we?) So now instead, we're going to end up with these nude scanners in every airport and Lieberman says we should be considering a pre-emptive strike on Yemen. Someone ...

Building a School Website

At work, we've been working on telling and collecting stories about the school. So many great things happen that those of us who aren't in classroom don't hear about. Each of us has had the responsibilty of writing a few pieces, so I decided to do a piece about how ...

The Cost of Weight Loss

Saw a report on NBC Nightly News this week about obesity in Appalachia and how in some areas, more the 40% of the population is obese. The Memphis area is one of those areas, it being the unofficial capital of Mississippi and all. One of the things that the doctor interview ...

Too much for 140 characters

You know, I just haven't had that much to say lately that I couldn't accomplish in 140 characters or less. I hope there's a point to this one. Writing I need to write a couple of pieces for work tomorrow, so consider this a warm-up. I minored in English in college, but ...

The single best month for music….ever?

There's a lot of good music out this month, there's more good stuff coming out this month than usually comes out in a year. They say that in economic downturns, creativity goes up. Maybe that's what's going on, regardless... I'm listening to all of this stuff: I didn't count MGMT's new ...

Ron Paul 2012?

I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power. Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll. Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
