A Flickr set of the late great Magic Carpet Golf just made an appearance on BoingBoing. It really is sad that it’s going to become a parking lot. There are some pretty good pictures in the set. I remember one time we climbed up to the top of the Tiki Head and dropped our golf… Continue reading Flickr photoset of Magic Carpet Golf

I’m disabling the comment moderation feature. This means first-time commenters should be able leave a comment and it will appear instantly. I had been policing the comments because of a recent spam outbreak, but I think it’s under control now.

A Question on Salmonella
What is the best course of action to take after getting salmonella food poisoning? Jenny had a caesar salad from Beyond Bread (the one on Speedway) yesterday. And then she felt like death for almost 20 hours. Should we alert them? Should we sue them? Or is it so common that we should just not… Continue reading A Question on Salmonella
Director (and no, not Spielberg)
This weekend I have the privilege of directing the worship services at Pantano. It’s a “Students Weekend” so there are teenagers everywhere, but I don’t mind! As director, I have to make sure everything is in its place and that everyone knows all of their cues.

My first post (on April 1, 2005) mentioned the WordPress/Google-spam controversy, and my second post had this wonderfully sacrilicious quote: But,… Continue reading 3 Years of Blogging

Death by Blogging?
I’m an insomniac, but I never thought that my personal blog was the culprit. According to this article in the Times, professional bloggers are discovering the health concerns of a 24/7 “work from anywhere” lifestyle. From the article: “I haven’t died yet,†said Michael Arrington, the founder and co-editor of TechCrunch, a popular technology blog.… Continue reading Death by Blogging?
