In Store Now! (My Novel, That Is)
Ever since I started writing, I’ve often wondered how I’d react to seeing my novel for sale in a book store for the first time. Every weekend I would go to Barns & Noble with my college buddies and examine the fantasy books being displayed. I always walked away encouraged, because I knew that my novel was just as good if not better than these. Plus, no vampires. Continue reading
Manlyfesto 3 - Faith vs. Evidence
Science being science, evidence is a natural requirement that enables science to work. Without evidence, science would become something else. Thus, you can never believe anything scientifically unless you first understand the evidence. Continue reading
Manlyfesto 2 - Why I Want to be Filthy Ritch
In 1st Timothy 5:8, we read the following:
But if anyone dœs not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Continue reading
Manlyfesto 1 - The Big Bang
Preface
I dislike the word ‘manifesto’. As of today (April 2013), one of the first search results for that word is the manifesto of a nut-job murderer, who wrote up a lengthy and asinine account of his personal troubles and then murdered a few people so the public would be interested in reading it. I’m certainly not doing anything like that. Instead, I’m writing down my personal world philosophy. These are the thoughts that go through my mind when I experience. These are the truths, discoveries, and assumptions by which I feel my way through this dim world. Every man’s task is to cut out a place in the world just for him, and this post describes my method for doing so. Continue reading
How to Create a Space Themed Nursery
Jodi and I are geeks. Specifically, we’re science geeks, especially about space exploration. When my beautiful wife discovered we’d be having a baby boy, she immediately knew that she wanted a space and sci-fi themed nursery. Rockets, robots — you know, all that good stuff. She then spent many weeks finding all the things she wanted for the nursery before we put it together. Continue reading
#9 - Bumper Stickers
Classy people do not put stickers on their cars. They recognize that the color of the car is embellishment enough, and anything beyond it is just extra weight. Bumper stickers don’t make the car go faster, and if the car designers had planned on bumper stickers adding to the æsthetic appeal of the car, they would have provided them. Continue reading
Sandusky and Sodomy
Why Child Rape at Penn State Will Happen Again
Now they’re sorry. Now, they’ll promise over and over that this will never happen again. It only took world-wide media coverage. I believe these allegations of child rape never came to light until now because of a sickness that all universities share; they feel they are above the law, and they’re in the education business not to educate, but to make profit. Pigs are flying folks! Oxhorn is complaining about “corporate” greed. Continue reading

#6 - The Word ‘Like’
Classy people don’t say the word ‘like’ more than once every three sentences. Continuous repetition of any word is very annoying, but particularly so when the word is misused, as is chronically done with ‘like’. There are three proper uses of the word ‘like’: Continue reading
