Lights Out With Thoreau



We finally got our power back after the “Light Sprinkle of the Century”; and for the (close to) three days we were without electricity (and hot water) I had a chance to contemplate the thoughts of Henry David Thoreau, who taught us the importance of simplifying our lives and appreciating the natural world around us.

CCNA Blues


I’m talking about work today as I drive into my office.  It’s an exciting discussion about the CCNA Study Guide and how it’s putting me to sleep.

My PodCast Maturity



I actually listened to an episode of Phedippidations recently (something I don’t often do) and was struck by how my goofy little podcast has changed over the past six years…and of course I go off on a tangent talking about my days in commercial radio.

Social Networking Reunions



I have a few problems with Social Networking tools, but there are a great many benefits: including the opportunity for new and old friends to get together in person.

When She Asked Me To Dance



This is a story that I think many of you might be able to related to; it takes place around 1977 when I attended Bicknell Junior High School in North Weymouth, Massachusetts.

Experimental Rant About Reality



Today I’m just babbling about my understanding of Science and Religion as a means for understanding Truth.  In preparation for my next episode of Phedippidations you’ll hear me begin to formulate a way of thinking about the search for Truth and the intersection of these two pathways. (Yeah, I know: deep stuff, right?)
