This Weekend at a Glance

Friday I went to a Chattanooga Lookouts game with Montie and Evelyn. The Lookouts shut out the Columbia Mudcats, who have, coincidentally, the same owner as the Lookouts.
Saturday morning before church, Ryan and I went mountain biking at Harrison Bay. The loop we rode has a name. I don’t know what it is.
Saturday afternoon I […]

Aimee Mann on the West Wing

If you want to be notified if I find this song, post a comment below. I will send an email to everyone who has posted here if and when the song is found.

Update 3/29/2006:
According to reader Cary Grant, Michael Lockwood, who produced the song, is unable to release it because he does not have permission […]

Google as spellchecker

Am I the only one that uses Google like this?
If in doubt, I type the word in question into my search toolbar. When the results are returned, there are several indicators I use to determine if the word is spelled correctly. I just searched for “indefatiguable” [google.com]:

The blue bar titled Web contains a link if […]

My parents got a dune buggy

I’ve known about this for a couple weeks, but I saw it for the first time today. I can’t believe my folks have such an impractical vehicle - very unlike them.
I was in Calhoun, GA, where my parents live, for some friends’ wedding (Louis Licht and Stacy Bruce Stacy Licht). The wedding was lovely, but […]

On Saturday I went with a group of friends, six of us total, to paddle the Hiwassee. I was in a Kingpin 6.3, the boat I’ve been paddling recently.
It was a little overcast, but the water at the Hiwassee was not very cold (it usually isn’t). I spent the day working on my surfing. Last […]

I was interviewed today

Today, I was interviewed for one of the publications produced by my alma mater, Southern Adventist University. I think it was for Columns, but I’m not actually sure (Janell?). Since I still live in Collegedale, I went down to Wright Hall and met with Janell Pettibone, my interviewer.
The interview was themed “Off the Beaten […]

I haven’t thrown this many images at my blog before, and it obviously needs some changes. I’m tire, though, so for now I’ll just apologize. Sorry.

The site for which this logo was designed is online. Visit Little Creek Sanitarium.
Why I’m Painting
I’m in the middle of an exercise that I didn’t expect and I’m not qualified for. I’m painting. For a client. I’ll explain how I got myself into this.
I’m working on a logo for a nursing home. This logo […]

Paint me Jealous

Heather is on her way to Costa Rica to meet her sister, Kimberly Thielen. Kimberly has been working at an orphanage in El Salvador and has just finished her time there. The two of them are meeting up for 10 days of I-don’t-know-what in Costa Rica.
I’ve been asking Heather what they have planned and she […]

I’m very excited. I’m a fan of most things scientific and something that I have long wanted to see happened today at lunch. I superheated some water. I was making a package of instant pasta on the stove. I turned the burner (electric) to high and put a sauce pan containing a little bit of […]

Confusing Google SERP

I should probably take this to an SEO forum somewhere, but I’m lazy. So, instead I’ll jot this here and leave it as an unanswered question until some kind (and knowledgable) soul finds it.
I have been googling myself for serps. I’ve gotten a recent bump on some terms I care about according to the serps […]

Nantahala/Tsali trip

This weekend I went to North Carolina to camp, paddle, and mountain bike with friends. Also there were Heather, Montie Schmiege, Jeremy Malin, his girlfriend Kristen Camp, Ryan Camp, his girlfriend Kathy Stair, the Camp family, and some of their friends. The Camps planned the whole thing and were very generous throughout the weekend. It […]

I’ve noticed people coming to my site for the Jon Stewart for President entries, but I doubt they are looking for a bumper sticker sales pitch. I don’t like to disappoint the readers, so I’m going to give them access to some real content. I’m not going to write this content myself, but I have […]

I almost forgot to write about this. I paddled the Bowling Alley section of the North Chick (North Chickamauga Creek) this past Saturday morning. It’s been raining almost every day for the past 3 weeks here in Tennessee, so I’ve been itching to go kayaking.
A good friend, Jeremy Malin, invited me and offered to let […]

(anyone else humming the tune from the Mad TV sketch?)
I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 on Monday with my parents. I enjoyed the movie, and (of course) agreed with most of the points that were made. I’ve given myself a couple days to mull it over and see what stuck with me. Besides the violence and sadness […]
