Meme’s the word

The Jollyblogger has been meme-ing about, and I’ve been tagged. I hereby oblige: Five(ish) things about me: 1. What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why? Since fun is the operative word here, I’d have to go with my one-day stint as a garbage collector. It was the the day after Christmas, I … Read more

Introductions…

Introducing Audrey J. Bridges, weighing in at 6 lbs., 12 oz, 19″ long. Like her brother, she came by way of Caesar. Both mother and child are doing well. It is a happy Thanksgiving, if even a day late. Praise him from whom all blessings flow! And yes, the comments are open!

Capitol Bean Soup

Now that I’ve finally got internet service again (more on that later), and since Joe Carter has already outed me, I’ll let the four of you who still read this blog know that I’ve just started working as Web Editor for the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.

This was indeed a lofty goal, but I’d take a totaled vehicle any … Read more

Ronald H. Nash, R.I.P.

News is circulating about the death Friday of philosopher Ronald H. Nash. I had the privilege of taking two of Dr. Nash’s classes when I was in seminary: Introduction to Philosophy, and Worldview Analysis. He was by far one of the most memorable teachers I’ve ever had, and consequently one of the most effective — … Read more

A Decade on the Web

Ten years this week — February 20, 1996, to be exact — I first put up a “home page” on the world wide web. My advertising professor, Dale Brill, taught a optional two-hour short course on HTML, a course that would remain the extent of my formal internet education. A few days later, I had … Read more
