Push It, Push It Good

Those of you who know me are well aware I go through more phones than most people. I either find myself working them to death (quite literally in a few cases) or not being satisfied with the features on the device. I have used everything from basic models (old-school Nokia bars)to feature phones (iPhone-esque, LG [...]

Wallpaper of The Week 06

This weeks wallpaper was created by Chris Fenison. I live in Oregon, which is one of the most pristine and scenic states in the U.S. by far. We have sights here that are what postcards are made for. This photo of Haystack Rock is one of the best coastal photos I have seen of here [...]

Write Your Soundtrack

Music is an important medium for many. There are some of us though who can not just listen to music but must feel every tension, absorb each lyrical nuance, and memorize each riff as if it were a personal event. I was raised with the sounds of the 60’s and 70’s needle fed into my [...]

Refusing To Age

At what point do we reach an age where we have to completely conform? Is the day your children are born the day you need to give up the revolution and take up golf? Upon your retirement are we required to stop enjoying our youth and settle quietly into our rocking chairs? I ask these [...]

Shared Pain

Yesterday was an interesting day. We started the day by going to the doctors for the kid’s shots. When Kellen was a baby the shots process didn’t bother me much. It’s not that I’m sadistic but I think the delayed pain reaction from him and the necessity of the shots just balanced for me enough that [...]
