No Grasp of Your Reality

As Sarah and I were driving home this past Sunday from my sister-in-law’s wedding, we were discussing the nature of marriage. I think the conversation came up because Bethany and Mike had a mini communion service in the middle of the ceremony (for just the two of them), and I had a knee-jerk “THAT’S CATHOLIC!!!” […]

The Memory Hole wrote up a quick little investigation into an instance of the United States Justice Department‘s attempt at hiding information. “Redaction” is the fine art of “cleaning up” information for public release. For example, oftentimes, police reports containing information about minors will have their names blacked out to protect them. However, the recent […]

I’m a little bit upset with my Internet setup at home. While I was down in Australia, I discovered that the website went down. As if that’s not enough of a pain, Sarah had already left for Indiana when it went down. My brother was sitting the house, and Sarah asked him to reboot the […]

Simon World has an informal list of dos and donts for bloggers. Some of the interesting ones include #15 “Learn to spell or how to use a spell-checker.” and #22 “[P]lagiarising is encouraged” Although… I think my favorite is #36, “Logic and reason are for the weak. Knee-jerk and off-the-cuff reactions are for the blogger.” […]

I can’t believe it! I was out at Pebbly Beach today with Bob Becker and Larry Butler, and I got hit by a freak wave. My camera was soaked, and now it won’t power up! I am so upset, as it’s one of the primary way I keep in touch with my family while I’m […]

Today I experienced a “Australian” evening. We went to the Wig ‘n Pen Brewhouse, and spend a good two hours there with the site guys after work. Had a great time, and some of the guys got some Vietnamese takeout, and brought it into the pub. Didn’t have too much to eat, and I was […]

Today, Bob and I went to a Raiders game, which is Canberra’s local Rugby League team. We heard from the onsite guys that the Raiders generally weren’t very good, and while they did put up a good fight today, they couldn’t hold up to the Syndney Roosters. I’ve been to American Football games, and I […]

Sorry I haven’t really had a chance to write, but the internet connection for my website is extremely flaky, which is why anyone who has tried to post comments probably weren’t able to. As I said in a previous post, I’m really upset with Verizon, and I’m actively looking to find another ISP. Well, I’ve […]

With the ongoing situation continuing in the Darfor region of Sudan, it looks as though both the U.S. and the U.N. are reluctant to step in to prevent the actions of the Janjaweed. National Review Online has an article on the effect of gun control laws, and the creation of a nation of victims. It’s […]

Psalms 38:12-16 Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long. But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. Thus I am like a man who […]
