I remember several years ago, when I had a “normal” job, completing computer updates and upgrades gave me a sense of accomplishment. After all, making sure all my systems where up to date and running smooth was not only a part of my job, but insured I could fulfill my other duties well.
I read another blog post about “getting things done.” I would imagine if I took the total amount of time I’ve spent reading about getting things done, I would have gotten a lot more…well…done. Ironically enough, after having spent more time reading yet another such blog post and not getting things done, I realized something about these…
If you start looking around the web and start seeking advice on how to start a blog, podcast, or build some kind of “platform” online, you’ll find a crap load of “gurus,” “hustle,” and “10 ways to” solutions. Ironically enough, most of these “experts” have built themselves up successfully by telling other people how to…
I started it several months ago. I had a feeling I would enjoy playing Mass Effect. This past Winter I snagged Mass Effect on the cheap from Steam. A few months after, I found Mass Effect 2 in an awesome Humble Bundle. After two friends of mine highly recommend that I take a crack at it,…
Instagram has been an interesting journey these past few years. When we got our first iPod, Instagram was the new awesome app and social network. We started before it was available for Android, so we felt pretty hip. 😛 I say, we, because it was the first and only Instagram enabled device in the house. And since…
My next computer might not be an Apple.

I remember when I made the switch from Windows to Apple. I became that person that said…
Earlier this month, my heart was struck with great joy and sadness. While both of these seem like polar opposites, both events struck a chord with me in the same way. A lesson in life that I try to remind myself all the time. Let me start with the sadness… Don, the man that gave me my first job,…
I went several years without gaming. There were several factors as to why I stopped (which I may write about in the future), and it’s been a lot of fun getting back into it these past several months. The last game I ever played as a true gamer was Half-Life. So when I began to venture…
At the end of 2014, I took a long shot. I saw a job opening on the Church Relevance website and thought I would drop my name into the running. Having read the job description, I figured I could handle it and their overall mission was very curious to me. With a mention to it…
The weekend before last, we all loaded up into our car and drove down to Scerni, Italy. The six hour drive took us back to a place where we lived for 4-years and it had been about a year since we had been back. It was a great trip. Me and the Mrs. enjoyed it. The…
