After first-hand viewing of a cool optical illusion of the summer moon, I got this in my e-mail today from my Dad. (He likes to forward stuff… this one’s pretty cool…) 🙂 The instructions in the e-mail were as follows: If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain…

Chill & Grill x2
Our friend Chi reminded me that I never shared the story of another “food fest” day (with food (mostly) provided by Chill & Grill) just a couple weeks ago. June 16th, I believe. It was certainly akin to FOOD FEST I, detailed below. The Chis arrived in time for lunch, so they got their pugs…
Food Fest I
Yes, I know yesterday was Canada Day (I believe it is “observed” today), but I believe that July 1st may now become the official day of FOOD FEST. Some have called it Eat Fest, and yesterday I first thought it could be called GlutFest (as in “gluttonous”) but I think I have settled on FOOD…
iPhone Review
I found this review on the AppleInsider.com website today. Quite thorough and really explains all the greatness of the iPhone (as best as you can with words… you really have to actually hold it and use it to understand how amazing it is.) He covers all the features (and missing features) in a very in-depth…
Smoke On The Water… Sort Of.
Tonight on the way home from our Wal-Mart Supercenter, there was the normal amount of noise coming from our very full back seats, but I noticed a recognizable melody rising over the din. It was our one-year old, singing the famous guitar riff to “Smoke On The Water”, correct rhythm and melody! A little background….
National Ice Cream Month!
July is national Ice Cream month, and I got an e-mail today from Turkey Hill dairy (yes, I subscribe to an ice cream newsletter… that might tell you something about how I feel about ice cream….) announcing a give away in July of FREE ICE CREAM. (One winner gets a year’s supply, four more get…
Audiobook Update
Installment #2 was just posted over at the There’s The Steeple… Here’s The Church podcast. It is available through iTunes, so that might be the best way to follow along if you’d like. There’s a link to subscribe under “feeds” in the right-hand column on that site. This week’s chapter (chapter one) is called, “Redefining…
Cute Girls
Last week our girls had their first official modeling session, and today I posted the photos our friends (a client of mine) chose to use on their website. Click Kirstie’s photo above and see if you can find the various photos. Julia is in there too 🙂 So cute! Feel free to check out the…
Ian Jeffrey Campbell: God’s Gracious Gift
A Little Background…As we approached our first anniversary, life was a whirlwind of new things. Not only were we celebrating the first year of our marriage, we were also expecting our first baby! He was definitely planned, expected, and greatly anticipated. We were a bit surprised at how early he was coming into our family,…
Life In The Rearview Mirror (…not the book)
Tonight I dug out my old journals. I was looking for any account of the story of Ian’s birth. Actually, the journals only go back to late 1999, and nothing was written even remotely close to Ian’s birthday (it was Christmas, after all!) so I had no luck there… But I did find a bit…
