I finally broke down and built a simple git admin web interface. I didn’t want to have to keep paying for more private GitHub repositories when I could (almost) just as easily host my own. I didn’t want...
About 3 months ago, we decided to sign up for the Chattanooga Mud Run. Yeah, we are crazy like that. 3 weeks later, 2 of the members of the team changed their mind, we found another and made a FB...
BET's 106 & Park showed this music video yesterday so hopefully it blows up. Not Christian Rap (that doesn't exist), but artful rap (and video) done by Christians. This song would be on the radio if they left...
This is the month I was sure my (in)courage bosses would fire me. Not only was I late with completion of my post, it might well be the longest post of the site's year-old history. I'm not proud of that...

Three weeks have gone by and I’m happy to report we are still a homeschooling family.

President Barack Obama declared an end to the American combat mission in Iraq during a nationally televised address Tuesday evening. Around 100,000 American troops will come home, but 50,000 troops will remain in a peace-keeping capacity.
