    2008 Rally

    Sarah and I went to the Barack rally back in September.  It was quite an experience, having never been this involved in politics before.  Here are some pictures…

  • Straight talkin’

    Given the lively discussin’ that was goin’ on yesterday, I thought I’d link another video.

  • Hate mail

    Look what I got in the mail…

  • Festivus, sort of

    It’s that time of year again.  The weather is changing.  The leaves are falling.  We’ve already gotten our first light snow fall.  All of those elemental goings-on spell holiday buzz: Festivus!

  • Our new (to us) house!

    Our new (to us) house!

    Sarah and I bought our first home together (my first home!) in late July We are so happy here. It’s just perfect for use in a thousand ways.  Even our dog has become a real dog now.

  • Buyer beware

    Sarah and I have our townhome on the market and are looking to move soon to a bigger place.  We’ve had some good showings and interest.  But by far, these several phone messages we received recently take the cake.

    the Proairetic Code

    Sarah and I have become This American Life groupies lately. If you haven’t heard the radio show, it’s about time you do. It’s like a documentary of sorts: a group of disparate ideas centered around a central theme, but also it occasionally includes short stories and monologues.

    Outback iPodulator

    My wife just got a Subaru Outback 2.5i station wagon. She’s in love with station wagons. No, seriously. Station wagons have been her dream car body style forever. It’s like she’s been a stereotypical soccer-mom-in-training since high school. That said, by her account I drive a station wagon too. I’m not going to split hairs…

  • Art docs: prodigies and outsiders

    There’s something extremely fascinating about those rare individuals who function on a higher plane, however dysfunctional or detached from the rest of society. The art world, as any other, knows its prodigies and outsiders alike. Here a few good documentaries that cover a wide range of such people.

  • Rock Chalk

    Guess what’s going on in Lawrence right now?
