So I completely forgot to finish the series on my computer rebuild! Oops! The update went very well, finishing just hours before Heidi and I left for the wedding. My dock went from a long, endless 50 icon strip to now sporting a set of clusters that fan their icons at the touch of a […]

I’ve been married for almost a month and I still haven’t written about it. Yikes! Heidi and I married each other on Saturday, August 30th, 2008. It was a fun morning ceremony with many of our favorite people there with us. Like Claudia and Kara … who officiated for us. Kara witnessed our vows, Claudia […]
ContinueComputer semi-woes
I thought that a full erase of my primary hard drive would solve my problems. Mid-installation I figured out that it would take more. Here’s the odyssey up until this afternoon: Old Tradition Back when I used Windows computers frequently (~1999-2005), I had a bi-annual tradition: I backed up and then completely erased my computer.

ContinueComputer Woes
My Power Mac G5 has been giving me problems the entire summer. (Actually, it started in the spring, but became consistent during the summer!) So it’s time to show it who’s boss — me! I’ll tell the whole saga once I’ve succeeded, but for now, this picture is enough to show my mood.

7:55am – Munich Airport, sitting on floor with power and juice “There’s nothing that says 11 o’clock like 6 o’clock” Ryan Motter spoke the truth.

It’s amazing how much change a small parish can make when they have around 110 people at worship on Sundays. The U2Charist. These worship services have become a fad for Episcopal […]

OK, after avoiding updates for SO LONG on this site, this one’s crucial: I’m off to Bosnia in an hour [Edited; see below]. I’m going with the Week of Compassion trip that takes seminarians abroad to learn about and meet the people who benefit from the relief and development work. Our trip is connecting with Church […]
ContinueBlast from the Past
Did anyone watch last night’s Daily Show? Jon interviewed Cokie Roberts about her latest book, Ladies of Liberty. I realized how much I miss her perspective. When I was in high school, my family went to our 8:30 early service at church. That left plenty of time for us to get back home by 10:30 […]

My weekend project: scratching my itch for creativity and designing the promotional postcards for CHN’s U2Charist in May.
ContinueU2Charist: Original of the Species
