Smart Closet

Hmm, one of these would be great for me, as a color blind individual who doesn’t do well at coordinating colors…

The Great Facial Hair Experiment

…has come to an end! As I
wrote about last week, James talked me into growing some facial hair, specifically a mustache for
Movember. Well, I gave it two weeks and couldn’t stand it any more. I like a day or two of scruff, but two weeks…not so much.
Instead of growing [...]

Team Quotes

The book for my management class, Developing Management Skills, has many quotes in the margins of the book. Here are some good ones from the “teams” chapter.
“A camel is a horse put together by a committee.”
–Unknown
“If you see a snake, just kill it. Do not appoint a committee on snakes.”
–Ross Perot (former [...]

Meet Me Half Way

“God helps those that help themselves.”
I heard that a lot growing up - in church, in school, from friends, from teachers, etc. While in college, I had a Sunday school teacher that taught about Biblical myths one Sunday. That lesson stuck has stuck with me over the years, and one of the [...]

Carolina In My Mind - Part 2

And now for the rest of the story! (If you missed it, you can read
part 1 here.)
On Sunday, we went to Sunday School and Church at
Capital City Christian Church, where Dan is the Student Minister. It was a nice church and it was cool to hear and see Dan’s vision [...]

Movember

So, James, Tommy and I are growing some facial hair - specifically a mustache. This is another one of James’ goofy ideas, inspired by the
Relevant Gentleman’s Society, and I decided I’d go along for a bit. It is
Movember, after all!
It’s been a week since I’ve had a good shave. I’m [...]

Survival Scenario

In my management class last night, we broke up into teams and did the following activity.

You and your companions have just survived a small plane crash. Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash. It’s mid-January, and you are in Northern Canada. The daytime temperature is 25 below zero, and [...]

Carolina In My Mind - Part 1

4 days, 4 states, 1050+ miles…
Last weekend, I packed up the car, loaded up the mp3 player and hit the road for Raleigh, North Carolina to see the Staifers. Boy, was I excited about seeing them and needing to get out of town! We started planning the trip a couple months ago, [...]

UC Berkeley Video Game Half-Time Show

Haha, this is pretty cool. UC Berkeley’s Marching Band performs a video game themed half-time show, including Pong, Tetris, Donkey Kong, Pokemon (I think…), The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Brothers.

Appetite for Construction

This past Wednesday night, Megan, James and I headed up to the Cincinnati Gardens for the Appetite for Construction tour, featuring
Ruth,
Relient K and
Switchfoot. Awesome show! Relient K was the main draw for me, and they delivered! I think this was the third time I’ve seen them live and [...]
