The Dust Will Settle Somewhere

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005 | Posted in General, Kingdom Bits

It’s a little late but Merry Christmas everyone. I guess I’ll go ahead and wish everyone a Happy New Year and get that out of the way too. I haven’t thought too much about anything deep or controversial lately. I think I am just enjoying the holiday season and applying my mental energy to other [...]

Realtime Shopping

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005 | Posted in General

People handle their money in different ways. Some people always buy the nicest things — whether they can afford them or not.
Example: Need some furniture? No problem, just go to the Macy’s Furniture Show Room.
Not me. Some people always by the cheapest things — knowing that whatever it is will soon break or is just [...]

Polyandrium

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005 | Posted in Photography

I don’t know why it’s not in most dictionaries, but:

Polyandrium
Cemetary, originally a cemetery for the victims of great battles.

I found it while searching through an online thesaurus. The photo is of Union Hill Cemetary. I was driving back from lunch at Waffle House with Kevin, and decided to pull over and take a few [...]

Ding Fries Are Done

Friday, December 16th, 2005 | Posted in The Arts

Okay, not too much going on so I figure I’ll just spread some Christmas cheer. This presentation does contain one curse word but it’s not gratuitous in context of the passion and intensity of the creative expression is now profanity free. Now you can let the whole family enjoy!
Ding Fries Are Done.

Watching Narnia

Saturday, December 10th, 2005 | Posted in The Arts

Well we went to see The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe opening night and give it two thumbs up. After thoroughly enjoying the film I went back home and read the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. After my previous post and reading the movie reviews, it just reiterated the fact to me that no matter [...]

The Church Service That Stole Christmas

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005 | Posted in Family

I remember being a kid when Christmas fell on a Sunday. It was 1977 and Santa brought me a glow-in-the-dark sword that resembled what the world just learned was a lightsaber. But I had to wait through the longest church service of my almost six year life to play with it. This year I am [...]

Adobe & Macromedia Merge Official

Monday, December 5th, 2005 | Posted in Web Design

Good-bye Macromedia. It’s been fun. It already seems strange not having you around anymore. Change is difficult.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about … imagine a world where Coca-Cola merges with Pepsi and drops the entire Coke identity. What a blue world it would be.

Reading Narnia

Thursday, December 1st, 2005 | Posted in The Arts

Well I haven’t mentioned it yet but I am reading The Chronicles of Narnia with Camryn now. I’ve never read them before. I got in trouble in middle school for NOT reading Voyage of the Dawn Treader though. I think I’d do much better in school if I went back now but that’s another story. [...]

The Last Nativity

Monday, November 28th, 2005 | Posted in Family, Kingdom Bits

Ever had a plan then have it seem like it is going to go down the drain, only to be redeemed in a way you didn’t expect? I went to The Old Time Pottery with my kids and my father-in-law in search of a light-up Nativity Scene that they had on sale. As we walked [...]

20 Second Thanksgiving Update

Friday, November 25th, 2005 | Posted in Family

Georgia Aquarium tour was great. In-laws are intown for Thanksgiving. Got stomach bug on Wednesday. Thursday, bug subsides. Good food and relaxation — watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (even though we have it on DVD) and the lighting of the Macy’s tree while reading through the ads and planned our early morning attack. Alarm went off [...]
