So I have officially decided that I am going on the Everyman sleep schedule. So if you asked tomorrow what my schedule is, I will tell you what time my naps are.
In short, the Everyman sleep schedule is a form of polyphasic sleep. Polyphasic sleep is just what it sounds like, sleep in [...]

Since being in Austin, I’ve been working at a construction site pulling cable. And by pulling cable I mean running all the network cables that will be used in the offices and such through the ceilings and walls, etc. It’s not terribly complex, but it’s definitely work. Especially compared to what I [...]

So I just had one of the weirdest dreams I’ve dreamt in a while.
On Tuesdays I usually have nuclear lab from 8-10. But today the lab got moved back to 9. Last night I went to bed about 30 min later than I had hoped, but still set my alarm for my usual [...]

This is just going to be a random collections of different thoughts on my mind as well as a few stories. Enjoy the miscellany.
- My van probably had the fewest people in it out of the 3. It seated 12, and we had maybe 6-8 the entire trip. Starting off, we had [...]

As the inauguration of our first Black president approaches, let Psalms 146 stand as a reminder for us to place our trust in the One who can truly bring change.
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life;

So just like every other blog out there on the interwebs, I am going to write my requisite “looking back on ‘08, looking forward to ‘09″ post. I can’t be a trailblazer in everything I do; I’ve got to give the rest of the world a chance here and there to compete with me. [...]

So apparently after stepping foot on Taylor’s campus, I somehow lost my blogging ability. Or, I just got really busy and never had enough time to really sit down and blog. Not that I didn’t have free time, which I did; I just never had free blogging time. There’s a difference, trust [...]

So you may be wondering, “Did Timmy die? He hasn’t blogged in a very long time.”
Well, I haven’t died, but I am very sick. I’ve caught a dangerous case of Olympic Fever, of the Phelpsian variety at the moment. You may or may not know that I do not have a TV [...]

So I’ve had a couple tabs in Firefox related to this situation open for a while, and I figured I might as well blog about it now, before it becomes too irrelevant.
Here’s the super duper short story. A student at the Univ. of Central Florida received a communion host at mass, but did not [...]

Imagine if the current crop of public figures had grown up during the Facebook era. We might have photos of John McCain in Florida slurping body shots off his stripper girlfriend. Barack Obama rolling a joint on a beach in Hawaii. George W. Bush passed out at a Yale frat party, 40-ounce beer bottles duct-taped [...]

Yes, the underbelly of journalism involves chasing politicians out of seedy hotels in the dark of night, taping conversations and nosing through quasi-personal records, but it should most definitely not involve stealing personal appeals to higher powers.
Yep, while Obama was at the Western Wall, he left a prayer, as is the tradition. Someone [...]

I’m not sure how much everyone follows politics, but my recent readings have begun to inform me that an attack by Israel on Iran in attempts to “protect its vital interests” may be imminent. Shmuel Rosner, a blogger for the New Republic writes:
Meanwhile, last month, the Israeli air force conducted a substantial military exercise [...]

So after work today I got tetra-monthly haircut. That’s right, I only get my hair cut 3 times a year (once every 4 months, approximately.) And generally it’s b/c that’s what my parents would like. So I get it cut at the end of the summer, before school starts, before Christmas when [...]

Vestigial eyes, for example, are clear evidence that these cave salamanders must have had ancestors who were different from them—had eyes, in this case. That is evolution. Why on earth would God create a salamander with vestiges of eyes? If he wanted to create blind salamanders, why not just create blind salamanders? Why give them [...]

A recent Washington Post article highlighted the fact that many corporations are moving their manufacturing centers from China to an even cheaper country, Vietnam.
Due to the firm grip of communism, labor can be found cheaper in Vietnam than in its northern neighbor, and the perennial powerhouse of inexpensive labor, China. Weak labor laws, as [...]
