Somehow in high school, I had a knack for doing lots of dumb stuff but not getting in trouble. My friends and I were basically “good kids” (church youth group, good students, etc.) but loved to play pranks, clown, push limits and generally get into stuff.

I think part of why I stopped blogging for a bit was that I was tired. Tired of the primaries. Tired of arguing with “friends.” Tired of campaigning and debating and donating and registering… I didn’t even write about election night, which was one of the happiest, yet most surreal nights of my life. That [...]

Two years ago I joined an effort called the 2,996 Project to honor and remember those killed on 9/11. I was randomly assigned to [...]

I had a great birthday today. Although I had to work, it wasn’t bad at all. I got some gorgeous flowers from Mike. Then after photography class tonight, I came home to a 55-200mm telephoto lens and a great book on digital photography. We had a delicious dinner at Cafe Gardens (mmmm breaded mushrooms). I [...]

Television’s Mr. Wizard dies at 89 His show was my favorite as a kid. I’d watch it every morning while I got ready for school. From Mr. Wizard, I learned about Archmedes’ Principle, oscilloscopes, air pressure, and countless other fascinating things. Mr. Wizard encouraged my nerdiness and sparked my curiosity for learning even more. Thank [...]
