Our world is filled with ads. They’re everywhere you are. It’s nearly impossible to browse the ‘net these days without seeing advertisements littering your favorite sites. Magazines are published solely for the purpose of selling ad space (one must wonder about the merit of the editorial content). But with the advent [...]

After The Today Show aired a clip of this girl, Jim told me about it.
How amazing, and strange, that she would continue to cheer after she had fractured her spine, sufferred a concusion and bruised her lung! She was back on the show this morning and Katie asked her what she was [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of amazon.com. Yes, they’re bad for the locally-owned bookstore, and that’s unfortunate. It’s always great to see when the little guy goes online to sell their wares via Amazon’s partner programs. However, Amazon has done a lot to pioneer some of the best e-commerce targetting strategies [...]

The house is finally up and running. There are three residents at the moment, with hopefully more coming soon. A few furniture items still needed, but for the most part, things are becoming quite homey. We had our first emergency at the house this morning - the plumbing backed up with both [...]

You may think I’m kidding, [...]

I’d like to think that I have a right to be a little shocked at my experience in the men’s room at work yesterday. As I was standing at the urinal, minding my own Christian business, I heard a strange sound coming from an occupied stall.
No, it’s not what you’re thinking. [...]

So I’ve been a little busy lately ….
The sober home manager deal I mentioned during December didn’t work out. Well, I guess it wasn’t meant to because I just bought a place of my own! Met with my new accountant today, and I’ll be open for biz sometime during February.

You can’t help but [...]

Is global warming a farse, or is it based in truth? Who do you believe? The scientific community, or George W. Bush?
It is going to hit the mid 30s today in Minneapolis. And it’s January, historically the coldest month of the year for us. Normally you can expect zero [...]
