The Family That Reads Together…

Posted on August 2nd, 2010 :: 10:53 pm by Greg

I absolutely love reading with my kids. Love it. I think I especially love reading stories that stretch out over days and weeks (even months in the case of some longer books the boys and I have read together, like Oliver Twist, and Nick of Time). The pure joy of entering new worlds every time…

The Real Hues Are Delicate

Posted on June 11th, 2010 :: 9:57 amJune 11th, 2010 :: 4:41 pm by Greg

Not sure if you have read the Charles Dickens work Oliver Twist, or, if you have that it has been recent enough that you would recall the plot in any detail. The boys and I are almost three quarters of the way through it, and rapt by the story of this gentle young boy’s circumstantially…

At The Speed of Information

Posted on June 1st, 2010 :: 9:24 amJune 1st, 2010 :: 9:31 am by Greg

You most likely know that we are currently in (really, at the beginning of) the “information” age. (Where previously there were the “industrial” and “agrarian” among other ages.) Most of us are in some way working in the business of information, or at least with the tools used for the communication of information. I am…

Genius

Posted on April 23rd, 2010 :: 9:25 amJanuary 10th, 2012 :: 9:00 am by Greg

Greatness isn’t the work of a few geniuses, it is the purpose of each of us. It is why we were born. Every person you have ever met is a genius. Every one. Some of us have chosen not to develop it, but it’s there. It is in us. All of us. It is in…

Current (Ever-Growing) Reading Pile

Posted on April 16th, 2010 :: 7:28 pm by Greg

My pile of books continues to grow. I truly am reading each one of the books I have grabbed from the library, or purchased from Amazon, or had loaned to me by a friend, but… For some reason, the phrase “your eyes are much larger than your stomach” comes to mind… In this case, my…

Three Ways To Homeschool

Posted on March 9th, 2010 :: 12:35 pmMarch 9th, 2010 :: 3:41 pm by Greg

Watch at CBSNews Online I’d say there are more than three ways to “home school”, but found this CBS news video to be fairly interesting as we are currently listening to and reading about a “method” called “A Thomas Jefferson Education.” A friend of ours got us a two-hour CD with the ideas behind the…

(Over) Ambitious Reading List

Posted on February 26th, 2010 :: 1:01 am by Greg

I seem to read books in spurts. I’ll go a long time without making time to read anything more than email and the daily news. But then, I’ll hear of or see a book or two… and get inspired to make the time to read them. Now is such a time! Between books I want…

On Restructuring Large Government

Posted on November 17th, 2009 :: 12:52 pm by Greg

Another quote from the book I am currently reading, this time referencing several (failed) attempts (or non-attempts) to restructure an overly large, lethargic, unproductive government. This quote is regarding an attempt in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan: “The Grace Commission,” Created by Ronald Reagan This commission was tasked to work “like tireless bloodhounds” looking for…

Suggested Reading: Between Two Kingdoms

Posted on November 12th, 2009 :: 9:50 am by Greg

Joe Boyd is a friend of ours from college, and today he announced that his book, Between Two Kingdoms is available for pre-order, and I thought I might spread the word for him here at GregsHead.net as well. Joe is currently employed as a teaching pastor at the Vineyard church in Cincinnati. But he also…
