Uncommon Knowledge, with Thomas Sowell
I saw this video on Friday morning, and though it’s a bit dated (about 2 years ago), this guy is brilliant.
I especially loved the takeaway at the end.
Love your enemy.
Matthew 5
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the u…
A few ideas for Netflix…pro bono
I’m always going on and on to my wife about how a company could be more effective at a, b and c. Probably too much. Anyway, since this is my blog where I share my thoughts, here are a few things I’d like to see netflix do with digital distribution.

Loving Summer
When my wife and I got married 5 1/2 years ago, we had in common that we both preferred the winter over summer, I can’t say the same anymore.
This past winter was very frustrating with all the snow. We were stuck inside a lot and with a one-year-old, it’s not much fun being cooped up in the hous…

It’s been over a month and we haven’t had one person come to see our house. This past week my wife and I have both resolved to stay, and I’m ok with that. It is the case that when you want something, if you wait, the desire subsides and appreci…

I’m now finding myself able y…
Moving Up

How I Got Here
I went to school for graphic design, realizing in my 3rd year that it wasn’t what I wanted to do with my life. In 2004 I graduated with a BS in Communications (with a major in Graphic Design…confusing I know). I applied for jobs and graphic design agencies, but didn’t find anywhere t…
Building stuff
We have a sort of tradition in my little family. Every Saturday we get up and make breakfast together. Sometimes we make Eggs, Bacon, biscuits and hash browns, other mornings we have waffles or pancakes. It’s always a fun way to start the day together.
The next thing we do is something productiv…
