Palin’s Portional
A lot of people have expressed puzzlement over Palin’s recent decision to quit the governorship of Alaska. Rumors swirl about the reason behind her sudden departure. An article at The Daily Beast proffers 11 reasons, but does not touch on the obvious. (I would refer you to the actual Daily Beast article, but after noticing…

Reading, Writing & The Absence of Presence
The astute amongst us will note that I have not written for…um…a long time. Yowser!, has it really been almost three months! Who’s keeping my calendar, anyway?! Seriously, though, I’ve been busy reading. And writing.

Beautiful Music from an Angel
This video actually made me cry. I usually only do that when looking the mirror.

What a Wonderful World
Sometimes, with all the hours I put in at work, it’s hard to remember that the world can be a wonderful and interesting place. Sadly, the video that originally appeared here no longer exists. So, enjoy this one, instead: Of course, one thing that always makes the world such a wonderful place is spotting a…

Uke Won't Believe This! (A Twitter Medley)
One of the great things about Twitter is the exposure you get to things you might never find on your own, but which you’re bound to like.

Elsewhere, I'm Busily Blogging
Sometimes I wonder if it’s wise of me to try to maintain so many interests and, in particular, so many blogs. This blog and website, of course, I consider my “personal” blog. Most of my blogging, however, is done elsewhere, on my professional blogs. Recently, I’ve been much concerned about issues of personal freedom, the…

2009: A Giddy(-uhn) New Year!
If you’ve looked around my personal site here at all, you know that I enjoy playing around with graphic images with Photoshop. Then @gideonstrumpet said, I need a new userpic. Maybe someone can glom a festive hat on my head. You may have heard the old saying, Be careful what you wish for! All I…
