    Well, I didn’t do too well tonight. I’m still ahead of pace overall, but I fell far short of my daily quota.

    I’m not sure what happened tonight — a cross between things I was watching on TV, being stuck at a plot point, grocery shopping, laundry, and just general laziness. [...]

    Tonight I spoke at our Wednesday evening Vespers service. I thought I’d share what I had to say here. A little background: from September through now we’ve been looking at the Apostle’s Creed and thinking about our own beliefs and doubts how they mesh or maybe don’t mesh with the [...]

  • Advertising research

    You might be surprised about what advertisers know about you. Or, more appropriately, what they think they know about you. For example, what you consume says a lot about you. Your beer, for example says what kind of vehicle you drive, whether you buy lottery tickets, and more. According [...]
