Villains (View Comments)
When you’re in elementary school, you start a club. A spy club, or a ninja club, or a boys club or a treehouse club. And in doing so you create your own little world, something you identify with. You and your select group of friends who are in your club suddenly have something that other [...]

The real paradigm shift (View Comments)
There’s a lot to love about the nature of the web community these days. People working on cool projects, loving what they do, excited to get up each day, truly believing that they have the creativity and passion to change the world in some small way. It’s the complete antithesis of so many corporate environments. [...]
Simplicity (View Comments)
Simplicity is a difficult thing to come by. We live fragmented, disjointed lives, always running from something, to something. We’re trying to get more and more done with less and less time. It’s an impossible race that leaves us tired, empty, drained. We as a society love to prize the man or woman who can [...]
Swept anyone off their feet lately? (View Comments)
Overheard a conversation at the coffee shop this morning. A girl fell in love over the weekend. The guy really did sound amazing, but the thing that struck me the most was that he wasn’t doing anything that remarkable. Rare, but not remarkable. The guy’s an actor (in New York of all places.) – The [...]

it’s so hard to say you’re sorry (View Comments)
I think one of the fallacies that Christians (and many other people) have is their unwillingness to admit when they are wrong about something. Especially when the reasons for doing so have something to do with faith. There are times when we makes decisions based on what we think are good precepts. We believe that [...]

I have always had a problem with trying to do big, important things. It’s not a problem in that it often works – for whatever reason, many projects I’ve undertaken have been successful for just this reason. But it’s a problem because I’m often closing a door to the mundane as a result. We as [...]
Free Lunch (View Comments)
With the wedding and my upcoming move to Chicago, I’ve been worried a lot about money lately. This week I resolved to not spend any money eating out. This afternoon, as I was sitting in a Starbucks, I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. A few minutes after I realized I was pretty [...]

It’s a little embarassing when people ask me what my fiance and I talk about when we’re alone. Embarassing because the conversations usually go something like this: Person 1: What kind of tree is that? Person 2: You’re a tree. Person 1: You’re a leaf. Person 2: You’re a fig. Person 1: You’re a newton. [...]
