My site’s been down most of the morning, but hopefully it will stay up long enough for me to crank out this post. Start your timers now. Today is my buddy Jace’s birthday. He’s 23 today, and if he tells me he feels any different because he’s 23, he’s probably lying. I certainly didn’t. Other […]

Friday Notes: July 27, 2007
I’m ready for the weekend, but it’s month-end Friday at work, so I’m probably not done yet. Anyway, some notes: The Simpsons Movie is out today, and you better believe I’ll be seeing it tonight. Metacritic, a review aggregator I like to check on occasion, rates it an 81, which is very good. I’m expecting […]
A day in Atlanta: June 23, 2007
After work on Friday, my wife and I headed south to Atlanta with a full day planned for Saturday. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express near Perimeter Mall and planned to use MARTA for all our transportation needs. We got up early Saturday morning so that we could reach the Georgia Aquarium when they […]
Friday Notes: June 15, 2007
Here’s a little bit of what’s going on in my world: Melissa and I gave in and bought an HDTV last weekend, a Vizio 42″ model with 720p resolution. I was suitably impressed with the combination of decent reviews and an excellent price point (from Sam’s Club). Other than my house, it’s probably the single […]
Friday Notes: June 1, 2007

I became the brother-in-law of a great friend, got my first full-time accounting job, began and quit grad school, had a car mysteriously […]
Smoke on the water
I spent this past weekend in Valdosta, Georgia, which despite being in the state in which I live, is actually a long way away. It’s about a 5.5 hour drive from Ringgold and just a few miles from the Florida state line. If you haven’t kept up with the news, it’s also currently the Smoke […]
My own Wikiality
Recently, I’ve been a little more active with Wikipedia, which if you’re not aware, is one of the internet’s best resources. A lot of academics like to make themselves feel better by scoffing at the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but Wikipedia works remarkably well for what it is, and its use is continually on […]
In the mission field
I don’t like to plug people in posts a lot, but my good friend Jace has quite a task in front of him, and I wanted to wish him the best. Jace was my suitemate for the past three years at Harding (and since he hung out with me and Chris so much our freshman […]
