I was thinking of doing an entry for the Creation Musuem carnival, but after reading this why bother? She says it all, and she says it better than I would have anyway. My children learn at home because it’s where I think they can stretch their minds the furthest. Other homeschoolers, sadly, teach their children [...]
Arr there matey. The boy and I took in opening night of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End last night. The critical reviews will probably be all over the place, but take it from me. The movie is a whole a lot of fun. Pirates, pirate wenches, undead pirates, rum, rum, and more rum, [...]
There is a very well documented Wikipedia entry just for 867-5309.
The song ain’t half bad, and the video stars Natalie Portman as a ghost. And just for the record, Natalie Portman can haunt me anytime she wants.
The book being advertised on the right looks really interesting, and I’m not just saying that because it’s a paying advertiser Check it out. In this entertaining, inspiring book, Meehan describes her obstacle–ridden journey to create a new institution to serve girls first and foremost, while laying out through vivid stories and examples what girls [...]
HorseIsle.com is pretty much virtual crack for horse obsessed kids. It’s a MMORPG for kids (mostly girls I would guess) that are obsessed with horses. Delaney is working hard at building her herd of Andalusians in the game.
So in the final sing off when Blake and Jordin are singing the same song, the producers pick the winners of a nationwide songwriting competition. It’s a syrupy ballad that was basically written for Jordin’s voice. Blake never had a chance. That said, he is probably better off coming in 2nd. The idiots that crank [...]
I rarely link or even bother to read the COH, but this week I’ll make an exception because Melissa Wiley is hosting, and she has done such a fantastic job. So, gentle readers, be warned. I can’t guarantee you’ll all approve of everything contained in the blogs participating in this carnival. In fact, I can [...]
It’s bad enough that you are a Catholic priest under arrest for embezzling about $1 million from two rural churches over 12 years. It’s even worse that you apparently fathered 3 kids with a woman whom you had lived with since about a year after you got out of seminary. It’s either sad or ironic [...]
Last night I was need of quick turnaround on some 5 X 7 prints. My original plan was to just put the two photos on my USB thumb drive and use the self-service kiosk at CVS. But then I noticed that in Picasa on Linux I could send the pictures electronically to my local CVS [...]
Lists like this can only encourage argument and debate. I’ve never seen the #1 movie though. BTW, it’s from Nerve.com – which is generally a fairly adult web site. The article itself is tame enough though.

Yes, the fact that I’m drinking can be directly connected the the Linux issue below! Old Dominion Ale is one of my favorite beers. It’s a classic English Ale, with a nice balance between the bitterness from the hops and the sweeteness of the malt. It’s one of those beers that you can easily drink [...]
