In Which I May Or May Not Have A Blog.

Happy World Philosophy Day! Here’s a little something for your mind grapes.

In Which I Single-Handedly Rescue The Newspaper Industry.

Things in the newspaper industry have been pretty dismal the last few years, but I think I have figured out how to solve our woes: Elect Barack Obama more often.
Newspapers all over the country are reporting how long the lines were/have been/are today, how early they sold out, and how many additional press runs were [...]

In Which I Post Something For The Google.

I am posting this here for one reason: I was unable to find anything about it online, so I called Charles Stanley’s organization, In Touch Ministries, and was told that it was not written by Charles Stanley and that it was “totally false” to claim that he had written it. Hopefully by putting it here, [...]

In Which We Could Have Used Some Of These At AU.

Anyone who has spent any time on the campus of Anderson University (except in the dead of winter) knows that these would certainly come in handy.

There is something the American News Media seem to have left out.
How do you attract 200,000 Germans to an [...]

In Which I Am Entertained By A Day Laborer.

Wait. That title doesn’t sound right. Let me explain.
Right off my exit from the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle is an area where migrant workers gather in hopes of being picked up for day jobs. It must be a pretty good gig, because in the mornings the area’s always packed with day laborers.
This morning I [...]

In Which I Try to be Motivational, but Fail.

Here’s a shot from our Fourth of July party. This one’s for you, Matty! (Click on the image if you want to see it larger, or you want to print it to display in your office.)

In Which I Celebrate the Fourth.

Two items to celebrate the birthday of the greatest nation on earth:
1. A co-worker of mine is taking the oath to become a citizen today; reading her comments about the citizenship test made me start thinking about whether I could pass it. MSNBC has posted a quiz based on a sampling of the questions used [...]

In Which I Share A Favorite Moment.
