It’s been a long week already. I was trying to get some test product out to a customer by Monday, and thought I was in good shape Friday. Just to make sure, I ended up working from home for about 4 hours on Sunday evening. I came in at 8:30am on Monday, [...]

I’m no fan of Ann Coulter, so I don’t really want to be writing about her. But I came across this article from David Kuo’s blog and thought it made some points worth reading. While it is nothing new - nothing we don’t already know - perhaps it is still something many need [...]

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, I thought I would post the following from Shane Claiborne’s book The Irresistible Revolution. In his chapter where he records the details of his visit to Iraq, he writes the following:
