Ramblings
Okay, as I mentioned in last weeks Shakespeare post, I was out of town on vacation this past week. As a bit of a background; my family goes on vacation for a week every year at my parents cabin in northern Minnesota. It’s my parents, my brother and his wife and son, and my sister [...]
Alright, I’ll admit first off that I missed this weeks Shakespeare read. I had a busy round of days off, which involved waking up early and lacking sleep for two days straight. When the time came to sit down and read the next play, I knew I wouldn’t really be able to take it in [...]
As part of my ongoing effort to increase content here on my blog, I’m starting a weekly ramblings session that will take place every monday. For this I will be selecting a topic and will pick it apart in sessions until I’ve gone through everything I’m looking to discuss. This is primarily to keep the [...]
Well, awhile back I wrote about thin-skinned controversies, which I focused on the eye-rolling controversy surrounding the film “Orphan”. Well, being that we are a culture that seems obsessed with controversies and making a fuss out of things that really aren’t deserving of it, I suppose it was just a matter of time until I [...]
So I recently learned that we have yet another one of these thin-skinned controversies, this one focusing again on a film as so many of them often do. I don’t know what is wrong with people these days that causes them to get so easily offended over the stupidest and most pointless things. You’d think [...]
Being the space nut that I am, I figured the time was right to post something about what was, arguably, the greatest task NASA, or even all the space programs in the world, had ever undertaken and succeeded in. Choosing the day that represents the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing seemed like [...]
Well, it has become clear to me at this point that my current book is going to be a long read. It’s nearly 800 pages with smaller print than many other books I’ve read to this point, and larger pages than most of them too. I’ve determined it is best to space out my ramblings [...]
Discussions at work have really surprised me about one of the factors of our economy that is never really touched on, but is just as unsustainable as everything else that is going on. It’s everywhere really, and the people who are responsible will never ever admit their responsibility, and the media rarely touches it because [...]
Alright folks, it’s rant time, although I actually hate the term ‘rant’, but I really don’t know what else to call it. So, I guess with that, I’m basically admitting that, from the very start, I just don’t know everything like so many others seem to. What a bummer right? Unfortunately I don’t think the [...]
Just to be sure people don’t think I’ve vanished, I’ve actually been doing most of my site work behind the scenes these past few weeks. I’ve been working with widget aware themes and modifications on a sandbox copy of my site locally on my machine in hopes of finding a setup that looks and works [...]
