I finally officially completed the book I wrote about previously, Amazing Grace, which tells the story of the life of William Wilberforce. I said it before, but I feel like I can’t say it enough: this man was an incredible human being. His life, so affected by what he called the “Great Change”—his awakening to…

“That’s alright, I have a Mac.”
Today I stopped at Staples to pick up a couple ink cartridges for my printer. I noticed a banner as I walked in advertising “Free PC Tune-Ups” but thought nothing of it, since I don’t have the “PC”s to which they refer. Upon further entering the store however, I saw the giant Genius-Bar-like construct that…
PopTarts Rewards
Ahh, PopTarts… the great American breakfast treat! 🙂 Jen purchased a box of Apple Strudel PopTarts for me last night, and this morning when we looked at the box, we noticed a little promotion they have going currently called PopTarts Rewards. Apparently they are wanting (needing?) people to try all of their flavors. The incentive…
Economic Turnaround? Eliminate Fuel Taxes.
This weekend, as I was pumping fuel into our family’s minivan, I had an idea. I know that our economy is not great. (In fact, I realize that there’s absolutely no way we can actually “recover” from our debt without a seriously radical change in thinking regarding cashflow, in and out… but that’s a different…

The Buffalo Sabres 2009-2010 season ended tonight in Boston. They were the losers of Game 6 of the best of seven first round series, and that loss closed the doors on only the sixth season where Buffalo were the champions of their division. In many ways, this team had everything going for it. Third seed…

(A Very Brief) iPad Review
Last week we went up to our local Apple Retail Store and got to actually touch the new iPad! And, yes… it was fantastic, as advertised. I thought it might be fun to highlight a couple of things that I noticed and would say make the iPad worth the purchase. Certainly you may have a…
StumbleUpon: Discover Great Stuff
I have a recommendation for you today. A long while ago, I was introduced to a website/technology called StumbleUpon. You may have noticed the little icon down in the “Share this post” bar below… . Well, that’s for StumbleUpon. How it works is, you set up your free account with them, and then bring up…
Mastering Money or Money Is Master?
A couple conversations of late have reminded me of a book I read a while back (at the recommendation of a friend who had really loved it) regarding the management of money. It was (and is) particularly relevant as we are facing mountainous debt (accumulated over many years, and some the result of “questionable” business…
