After nine weeks my ankle is healed. I ran two miles a month ago to discover that it had not healed after five weeks. Today I ran four miles at my desired pace without any discomfort. In those nine weeks I’ve done some training on my bike, but I have been aching to get back [...]

Well, my move from blogger is complete thanks to a Wordpress plugin: Import New Blogger To WordPress. It was exceptionally smooth and I have all posts, comments, and categories from blogger. I had recreated all but one category already, but that one got moved as well. Once the plugin had done its work I took [...]

I am very interested in being an active participant in my community. Currently I am participating with a community group which has yet to name itsself. Members of the group should be getting an email soon from our group leader inviting them to come to my site and vote in the poll on my sidebar [...]

At some point I will post my style in case anyone is interested in using or modifying it for their own site. I would like to acknowledge the people [...]

Last night I had a very interesting dream about a computer program called “Life” or “The Game of Life.” This was not the one that some people have heard of where cells live or die based on some mathematical rules although it was similar in some ways. To “play” the game I was given a [...]

I have been wanting to move back to my own domain but I have selfishly wanted to wait until my blog, style, and site elements were complete before making the move from a polished blogger site back to Wordpress. I opted to make the jump today. I consider my site style to be adequate for [...]

Evaluating John Edwards for endorsement has been something of a challenge. I tried to maintain my objectivity in the matter, but I am surely swayed by the fact that I liked him as a candidate in 2004. In an attempt to be objective I found myself looking for reasons to not endorse him for 2008.
