I’ll be talking about my book, A Journey Shared as well as self-publishing options in general at our local bookstore, the Village Bookmarket, tomorrow at 10:00am. If anyone in the Palmyra area would like to come join us, should be about an hour-long event, and I plan to really just field questions and see which…
Target Practice
Today just after lunch, Ian and Alex were testing out a new Nerf dart gun set. It apparently includes a vest with little targets on it that presumably one or both combatants would don as they battle it out. In today’s test however, Kirstie was wearing the vest. (And the cool, protective googles.) And she…
GregsApples.com … is back? (Sort of.)
Hey folks! Just wanted to give you a quick heads up. I was reminded today that I used to be an Authorized Apple Business Agent, for which Apple paid me a commission on any sales I generated for them. That was neat. Then I was an Apple Business Store Affiliate, similar deal, just not working…
WWDC Kicks Off: No Jobs, But Plenty of Fun
As expected, Steve Jobs did not make an appearance at the latest Apple keynote. However, many product updates did take center stage! No time to detail it, but here are some highlights: New iPhone: 3G(s) (“s” stands for “speed”, says Apple) Same prices, but current iPhone (3G, 8GB model) will sell for $99! Tons of…
Humble Scientists
We received a complimentary copy of the latest edition of Creation magazine (the Answers in Genesis folks) and I have been perusing it the past couple days. I really enjoy the subject matter they cover, and I believe that my worldview is similar enough to theirs that I can mostly relate to what they are…
Tips Should Be Tips!
Today as we ate at a sit-down restaurant for the second day in a row (may be a record!) I found myself in the familiar place of attempting to figure out what a “fair” tip would be for our waitress. Generally I do a few dollars, which is probably about the percentage it is “supposed”…
Time Flies When You’re Not Driving a Bus
I realized today just how long it’s been since I drove a school bus. Jen & I spent a decent chunk of this day driving through the streets of Fairport, NY. It was their annual Canal Days festival, and we were privileged to have a babysitter caring for our kids, so we decided to check…
Glenn Beck is a Lying Sack of Dog Mess
I saw this video online yesterday (it’s actually kind of long) and just thought it was… weird. The events that precipitated this investigative report were quite weird as well. Talk show guy Glenn Beck was accused of being a “lying sack of dog mess” by Whoopi Goldberg on her TV show, The View. And, the…
CraigsList or ebay? Pros and Cons
Jen & I both recently had a bit of success listing and selling stuff on CraigsList, and following that, a friend asked how I chose CraigsList over ebay. “Well,” began my reply, “I suppose there are a number of reasons to use either,” I explained. And so there are. I figured it might even be…
Good News?
Came across this site today while browsing the web… perhaps you’ve already heard of it. Didn’t get to explore it much, but appears to be a news site devoted entirely to good news stories. Interesting idea…
