Matt Z. and I sat with Eric Peterson Monday for some education on the doumbek. It was enlightening, as most any training would be for us these days. At one point, Matt insisted that Eric play a riff on our drums to ensure that his, seriously more professional, drum was not magical in some way.… Continue reading Sitting with Eric Peterson

Bring Out Your Dead
It’s day 3 of my sudden illness and I’m feeling only slightly better. Not quite ready to go out and have a walk. The first two days were filled with the waxing and waning of my core temperature. Now on the 3rd, I’m only slightly able to regulate this to my liking. Last night, I… Continue reading Bring Out Your Dead
Serenity, The Movie
My wife and I watched Serenity Saturday evening. We both really enjoyed the movie. We’ve both seen the first and only season in its entirety, and were saddened to see it cancelled. Despite this, the fans rallied and helped to get a movie made from the TV show. The original cast starred in the film… Continue reading Serenity, The Movie
An Event Apart
I’m really interested in going to “An Event Apart” in Atlanta this year. From what I hear, the conference is pivotal in anyone’s quest for web design excellence.

The female wasp seeks… Continue reading Evil in Nature

Revisiting D&D
Saturday ended at 3:30am Sunday morning. I played D&D for the first time since the 80’s with a group of friends. They’re old pro’s, but I have some catching up to do. We played all day and night, so that’s a good way to get a refresher course. We didn’t actually have time for any… Continue reading Revisiting D&D
The Church Wants to Shut Me Down
A while back I wrote about an engagement with one of the larger churches in town. I wrote truthfully, though I didn’t get into much of my personal and irrelevant opinions. Now, a month later, they’re threatening my manager – who hired me for the job – with litigation and “make your life difficult” demands.… Continue reading The Church Wants to Shut Me Down

Amy and I went with a Jeff and Amanda to see David Copperfield at the Fox Theater in Atlanta on Sunday. Jeff has seen him countless times and Amy and I have seen him once before.
