Apparently, Apple is sick and tired of NBC’s shenanigans! The 3rd largest music retailer in the world (who also sells video content…) is parting ways with all of it’s NBC content (30% of it’s top shows!) in the month of September! Seems a drastic move by Apple, but they contend that NBC wanted to double…

The Week The Was(n’t?)
It’s just after midnight, and I am sitting on my in-laws’ porch in Clarence, NY, sipping a mug of Chamomile tea… thinking back on a crazy week of fun. But one of the more memorable things about the week was that it felt like there were a few days that just didn’t happen at all!…
Relief
The past week saw a bit of relief for us on the income freeze. I think I have mentioned here that the summer was quite a financial drought. Not many (maybe there weren’t any?) of my current clients needed any substantial work done on their existing sites, and not much new business came in. We…
Not Like Us
I was thinking about life this morning, in the shower… as I usually do. Sometimes it’s the mundane “what do I have to do today” kind of stuff, other times it’s “meaning of life” kinda stuff. I suppose it was the latter today. We’re still in a pretty good pinch financially. We have some temporary…
Steven Curtis Chapman
Some of you may know that I hold Steven Curtis Champan – and particularly his music – in high regard. More than that, there’s definitely some strange connection I have with him. When I hear his stuff, I just completely identify with it. Those aren’t the right words. I can’t really explain it. It’s almost…
Quick Kirstie Story
This morning, 3-year-old Kirsten joined Dad and the boys for our morning Bible reading. We are near the end of the book of Luke, and Jesus is getting people riled up – almost the time that they killed him. Which also happened to be Passover, when they kill lambs. I read the words, “The day…
Happy Birthday, CAYA!
Today is the 5th anniversary of one of our albums, Come As You Are. CAYA, as it is known around here, is CD that I recommend to people who don’t have any of our CDs. I think the Christmas album is my favorite overall, but this one is the best collection of songs that captures…
Growing Up "Right"
I was downstairs for a bit this morning (baking some chocolate chip cookies, actually…) and overheard Jen and the kids in the living room. They were watching the Price is Right, and I could hear things like, “That’s $92!?? No way!!” and, “Yes!!! Michael got $1.00!!!! Now [the next person] needs to get $1.00 too!”…
Mormons, Catholics, Santeras… Oh my!
So, the other night I was going through our video podcasts, getting caught up on the ones I hadn’t yet seen. There’s a little blue dot next to the new ones, it’s really cool. (We use FrontRow on our Mac Mini, hooked up to our TV in our living room.) We watch probably 8-10 different…
Evidence
Here’s a little bit of evidence that I have been unable to get to my blog very much this past week or so… Yesterday, August 26th, went by without me noticing even once that it was the fourth anniversary of my blog’s existence! 
I had been looking ahead to that date all month, planning…
