I was recently asked to speak at IVCF at CMU on the topic of Christian view of success and vocation. I am supposed to talk for 15 minutes, which will probably go very fast, so I need to be more concise than I usually would be. Our topic for this Large Group is the Christian view of success...

Everyone always says how user-friendly Windows is, and as I sit here waiting for my Windows computer to endlessly update itself, I am struck by how much harder it is to update my Windows laptop than all of my Linux (Debian) servers put together. On Debian: Type "aptitude",... (More)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (More)

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Noah: 9 Months

24 pounds, 9 ounces. 30 inches tall. He didn't cry a single whimper for his shot or any of the blood drawing for his hemoglobin and lead tests. What a brave, tough guy! He's added water (flicking his ear with his fingers - an unfortunate way to say it, but... (More)
