I really like this article that I came across earlier today. I’m pretty new to Facebook and I don’t spend much time doing all those quizzes, the sending of little-icon things or games. Nothing against them or anything–I guess I just haven’t gotten to that, yet. Figuring how to even link this blog to my [...]
Rachael Price wrote me an email today. Okay, so not an unsolicited one, but rather a response from an email I sent her about an upcoming show. Still, though. How awesome is that?? From initially hearing a track from The Good Hours album this past winter on the radio, to catching an impromptu-ized Tupelo Honey [...]
Ok, so I’m a bit enamored with embedding video these days… maybe it comes from the magic of seeing all that code transform into the shining pixels and audio bits of coherence. Kind of feels like a little miracle. Alright! HERE comes an Asian grocery that’s worth talking about… none of that Super 88 sadness. [...]
A good read about the Indianapolis Colt’s former head coach and his mentoring relationship to recently reinstated quarterback Michael Vick. A bit of a different window into the life of probably a large number of star athletes and what distracts or keeps them. Maybe it’s a good thing that the closest thing I ever got [...]
Sounds like a great reason to visit a local museum! “The Smithsonian is free every day, so in the spirit of sharing the wealth Smithsonian magazine has once again organized its annual free museum day this Saturday at hundreds of participating cultural centers around the nation. To attend, you must go to the event website, [...]
First of all, that’s a good word for you: lexicographical. For some reason, the word in my head was something along the lines of ‘lexography’… where did that ‘ico’ in the word come from? Looks like I’ve been missing out. This looks like a worthy competition- anyone want to give a shot at being a [...]
It’s the morning of September 11th, and just spending some moments before an appointment remembering and reflecting. Thoughts of where I was (as most of us can probably recall) eight years ago: likely misplacing my freshly printed lesson plan as students filed in to my U.S. History class at Concord Academy. A late arriving student [...]
Okay, just in case you didn’t watch it (and so I can play with this nifty embedding-of-video). Compelling speech-making, no doubt. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Okay, having transferred from the University of Virginia to William and Mary after my sophomore year, this news is worth a mention. I was actually at UVa when Tiki Barber (I believe that was the brother) was a player on the team, but having moved to W&M, you have to root for the ‘warm up [...]
Nesquik Counts!
I still remember that favorite plastic mug of mine from Nesquik, with two large ears for a two-fisted grab. I don’t know how many canisters of the chocolate milk powder my sister and I had to go through to get enough UPC symbols, but let’s just say that the journey and the end-prize were equally [...]
