Look! It’s Chassell.
Yes, that’s right folks, this is a map of downtown Chassell, where I grew up. Okay, I didn’t actually grow up in Chassell, my parents’ house is outside of Chassell, on Paradise Road. Anyway, for those who’ve wondered how big the town is (anyone?), here’s a street map of the place. Check out Google Maps.…

Plumbed
The garbage disposal unit in our sink was leaking. I did not know it, really, until about three weeks ago (Self: Yeah, so why didn’t you fix it then. Self: Can it.) I finally realized it one day when I opened up the cupboard beneath the sink to get a garbage bag, and I smelled…

Truly, this is Chey’s daughter.
For those of you who know Chey, you know she reads a lot. Really. I noticed a book in the shower this morning. Anyway, it seems Eva is picking up Chey’s affinity for books. She can’t read yet (she only 1.5 yrs). However, she often picks books up and flips through them, mumbling to herself…

Today I started reading Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Rosenfeld and Morville. This is the second edition. I read the first edition back in 1999, I think it was. It seems much bigger now.

CBS News: 5 killed in shootout among deer hunters
5 killed in shootout among deer hunters Um. You’ve got to be kidding. This is ridiculously tragic. Folks in Northwestern Wisconsin will be talking about this for years to come. My reaction? First, be polite to people who carry loaded guns and this sort of thing shouldn’t happen, right? Right? Or, maybe the suspect is…

The beginning of the�
Once upon a time, long ago, in the Winter, when I was living at my parents’ house in the snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan, my job was to make sure the driveway was cleared of snow so people could drive out. It was a fairly long driveway, especially by city standards. This meant waking at…

Acting! —- Brilliant.
So, when I’m trying find a bible verse online, I’ve been going to biblegateway.com for years. Just now, for the first time, I clicked one of their “listen to this passage” audio links. Oh man. It’s bad. The readers have British accents, and I’m not convinced they’re real. To make it worse, they adapt these…
