I built this hardbound book of all our photos since we started dating a year and a half ago (Aug. 2007- now (Dec. 08)) for Brian as one of his Christmas presents. The book came out nicely, and I like how you can share it online and build it online, not on [...]

I’ve ordered items from JCPenney before and the box arrived in OK shape. I’m sure this isn’t necessarily JCPenney’s fault, but they could have done a better job packaging the innerds of the shipped box. Whenever I received my order my jaw dropped and I immediately thought, “Holy crap, did I order anything breakable?!” The [...]

To follow up with my most recent blog entry discussing Hank Hanegraaff’s “Heart of Christmas” 25 day devotional… I wanted to share today’s (Dec. 4) entry. I remember learning (then obviously forgetting) why it is that we celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25 (because apparently that’s not Christ’s exact birthday), etc… and this devotional spells it [...]

Pandora Video Series: In The Studio
I’ve recently rediscovered www.Pandora.com (a site you can create customized radio stations streamed from the internet – no commercials- by just typing in an artist or genre) and I came across their blog site… and found the video above. If I could have any dream job (besides a professional [...]

Comedian & author, George Carlin, illustrates American English, which is packed with irony.
I’ve always been interested in where “sayings” originate….(etymology), and how many HOMONYMS are in American English, and why particular people speak in a certain manner….have certain speaking tics…have certain impacts in their speaking patterns, etc…
So I came across this video today. It is [...]
