Today was a typical Monday (class, meetings, etc) with the added excitement of a weather situation happening this week. A friend and I were looking up snow predictions on the website and we came across this image from the local news station. The Circle of Uncertainty! What an excellent metaphor for life.
Just to be clear, I do take a day now and again and do almost nothing. Today was that day. While I caught up on email, did some reading, and watched lots of episodes of Scandal with Shane, I was in my pajamas all day. I was sore from a 4 mile jog in the […]
Today we went to the 4th Annual Jolly Skull Beer Fest, and we had a great time. We tried lots of different beers, and I may have found two new favorites. I found this So-Cal Orange witbier from the Coronado Brewing Company, which I kept going back for. It had a subtle touch of citrus […]
This is my the desk in my office. It’s one of the first things students, colleagues, and visitors see when they walk in and especially if they sit down to meet with me. I never see it when I sit at my desk because it is turned outward. I was kinda out-of-sorts yesterday because my […]

I’m sure I’ve seen it, but it certainly didn’t resonant in the past the way it did with me this morning. “An Individual has not started living fully until they can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to […]
I was reading the following article about amazon.com, Amazon Just Patented Shipping Items Before They’re Even Ordered, and the first sentence really got me thinking: Late last month, Amazon patented a process they’ve termed “anticipatory package shipping,” in which products would be sent to fulfillment centers near the customers most likely to purchase them, before […]
I’ve had the following image on my iphone for over two years. Every time I push the home button, I see it. If it’s one thing I’m gonna look at over and over again during the day, it’s whatever image that I choose for my lock screen. I think I’m ready to change it to […]
