This was once a blog where I shared many, many things, most of which were awesome. Somewhere around fall 2009, I got a big-kid media job and no longer can keep up with this old thing. There's some good stuff hanging around here though. You should check it out.

Family Meeting : I’m selfish, but I’m trying not to be
(or, why I really don’t shop at Wal-Mart)

As you know, I usually don’t write a lot about my personal life, really for no reason other than this is a place for cool links of pretty things and not my Diaryland page from 2001.  BUT, I came across an article at GOOD about Wal-Mart and it made me think of something I thought...

Web Wednesday : The reason I haven’t called…

So when I’m not working, making stuff for Etsy or writing in this here blogorama, I’m doing design work for my lovely church, Dialogue Church, here in town.  It was started about a year ago by some good friends of mine while I was still in college, and I started helping out on the design...

Web Wednesday: Goodbye WaffleMaker

There are a lot of things that I can’t do: share dairy products, gymnastics or roll my tongue, for example.  And then there are a lot of things that I can’t do simply because I’m too sissy or attached to my belonging, and one of those things is sell of my possessions and move to...

Earth Hour 2009

With an amazing effort of the WWF in an international effort to bring about a movement toward climate change, Earth Hour is 60 minutes of darkness, multiplied over millions around the world.  Fantastic method and heart behind the effort, I think this is great.

Chernobyl

In 1986, a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union (now in the Ukraine) caused one of the worst disasters in modern times.  The people over at Magnum Photos created a photo essay that will just blow your mind and break your heart.  It details the aftermath of the situation, especially on the...

Weekend in Springfield, MO

So, as you may know, I went to college (mostly) in Springfield, MO, and this weekend I went down to visit friends who still call that city home and expose my brother to college life and a state other than Ohio. So we drove 16 hours in 4 days, drank  a lot of coffee, ate...

the New Bike, Happy Labor Daybor, and Finding a Church

Here it goes: 1.  I got moved in and everything into my new place.  It’s been pretty good so far: no problems really or domestic disturbances or very many huge bugs coming in from the the huge tree outside or anything.  I have a real lack of furniture though, somewhat remedied this weekend when my...
