O Me of Little Faith

I have certain things on my mind. I am looking to you, dear readers, for answers. 1. A bunch of media reports indicate that Americans are driving fewer miles a month for the 8th straight month. High gas prices are apparently causing us to find other means of transportation, or simply to not go as…

I was genuinely surprised yesterday to hear, courtesy of my friend Bryan, that my dorky little side business, FakeBandShirts.com, had been mentioned by the ridiculously awesome pop-culture blogger Whitney Matheson at USA Today (“Real Shirts, Fake Bands“). Thanks, Whitney, for the shout-out. Thanks, Bryan, for calling it to my attention. Thanks, Justin, for coming up…

I’ll admit to being the slightest bit obsessive-compulsive when it comes to a few (just a few) things in life. One of them is the arrangement of books. Book lovers — and most writers — tend to have extensive collections of books and obsess over their arrangement. My living room has a big set of…

Based on these two experiences, I have made the following stereotypical generalizations about people from the United States. (Or, at the least, those who come to San Antonio to…

I know. I said there’d be no more blog posts this week, but I had to toss this one in just for fun. I took my little digital camera with me on the backpacking trip, and had the inspired idea to record a few quick video segments with it. This is one of them. It’s…

This will be a short posting week here at ye olde blog. I spent last weekend backpacking with friends in Colorado and will spend the next weekend with the family at Sea World and Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. These days in between are dedicated to getting everything done in a really short amount of…
