I no longer trust mainstream Christianity. I've been on the edge for a long time, and this just pushes me over it. This is utterly disgusting. Utterly.

I've been doing web design all day, and the nice thing about web design is that you have something to show for it when it's all over and done with. Something easily sharable, because it's web design. Unless, of course, you're having difficulties with cross-browser compatibility and with window size, and with enough problems like…

I went to Cape Lookout on the Oregon Coast this weekend with my family and Nora and my aunt and uncle. We expected bad weather, and we got bad weather. But Friday was good. The weather was not the disappointment. We were talking about going and seeing X3 on the rainy day, which seemed like…

I made it through the long drive from Spokane and Portland, dragging with me my parents and living supplies (like a toothbrush, clothes, art supplies, this computer…). I'm back in Portland! Let the festivities ensue. I may be very busy for the first week or so, and I hope to get a job eventually, but…
