Seriously?!?

Why the heck is Cris Collinsworth even in Beijing?!?! What the heck…

Proud to be an American?

Sometimes…not always. But sometimes.
Disclaimer 1: I hate politics.
Disclaimer 2: I did not vote for George W. Bush.
Disclaimer 3: The Olympics are over-rated.
Disclaimer 4: I have not watched a political interview of any kind (longer than ~15 second sound bytes) since the 2000 Presidential election.

Reposted from Steven’s Blog: Two and Two Makes Five
Amy and Steven have been writing and posting about Zimbabwe for a long time, and this year they’ve formalized a relationship between ServLife and Family Praise Fellowship, the church that is running Musha Wevana children’s home. Steven wanted to repost here the story from ServLife’s website about […]

Riding along in my automobile…

In the past 11 days I’ve driven from Austin to Midland twice. That’s a lot of time alone in the car to think. In case you’re ever in a similar situation, here are a few of the things I pondered:

I love Edward Norton - Can’t wait for The Incredible Hulk even though previous attempts have been […]

Nerd Alert - Consider Yourself Warned

Last fall I purchased a new notebook, the Dell XPS M1330 and let me tell you it’s a great piece of hardware. I have, however, been pretty frustrated with Windows Vista.
