Video: Sunset time-lapse in Springfield
I shot about 15 minutes worth of video of the sun setting in Springfield tonight, driving to the top of a parking garage to shoot the footage.
It’s in 1080p HD, so if you want to view it full-screen and select 1080p, that option is available.
I will post some photos of my trip to …

The voice that resonates, reminding one of home
Today, I stepped foot on the property of my childhood home for the first time in eight years.
My parents are trying to sell the manufactured home (not a trailer, mind you) in which my brother and I grew up, and I stopped by today to snap some photos for a potential buyer.

Singing the praises of solid-state hard drives

The laptop I lovingly refer to as the Thought Pad has undergone an under-the-hood transformation for the better recently.
It’s a very svelte Dell Vostro V13, one of Dell’s first attempts at an ultrabook-type laptop. Unfortunately, it’s a little underpowered, clocking in at 1.4 …

Number of days without a suicide headache: 31
If you’ve never heard of cluster headaches, read this then come back here.
I don’t believe in jinxes, so I feel I can safely say I am glad that it has been a whole month since a cluster headache attack and I hope I go another without one.
My first cluster headache came on in …

Everything’s different
Not often do I get told by a higher power that I’m doing everything wrong, but that’s exactly what happened early Monday morning in a dream as I slept.
In any dream I receive that I believe to be from God — and yes, God speaks to us in dreams because that is the only …

When Jack met Jill, their love went downhill
I’ve always told my friends that if they really want to know me, give the Etienne de Crecy album Tempovision a good listen.
It was, very possibly, the first CD I bought for myself after listening to 30-second snippets of it on CDNOW.com when it was an album that was only available via import in …
