It’s that magical, sensational time of year. That’s right, it’s FAIR TIME! Tomorrow morning, at the absolute crack of dawn, the Iowa state fairgrounds will awaken and begin a sensory overload the likes of which haven’t been seen since…well, last year, I suppose. I’ve taken the day off so that we can arrive by 8:00 […]
Introducing the Brick Boys Lego blog!
I was inspired by a preacher friend of mine recently. He and his son have a fascination with reptiles. In order to feed that fascination, and have something they can both do together, they started a reptile blog where they share pictures and stories about reptiles they come across in their daily travels. I thought […]
“We all agreed that we really don’t know what will happen in the future”
I live in a small town in the middle of Iowa. Part of being in a small town means you have a little book club consisting entirely of little old ladies that get together once a month to talk about whatever it is little old ladies read and discuss. I don’t know what possessed the […]
What do YOU do on the Fourth of July?
I have a few quiet moments today amidst the chaos of our average July 4th holiday festivities. A few moments in which to sit on my porch and post to my blog. Exciting, isn’t it? This July 4th found me, my oldest son, and my neice all on a parade float together. We were promoting […]
Nerdflood: part of the elite tech blogging empire?
I never take a moment to consider exactly who is going to read my blog when I create a new post for Nerdflood. Oftentimes, I don’t think about the fact that people beyond my close friends and family read this blog; and even my close friends and family don’t read it all that much (Mom? […]
Now I have competition from my wife
Well, not “competition” in the strictest sense, since I’m actually eager to see her in this particular space, but it appears as though my wife has decided to take up blogging. Now, I won’t be linking to her blog around these parts, as it’s a more personal site for just close friends and family. I […]
Disconnecting, and it feels so good
Being offline for an entire week has really put a lot of things into perspective. Coming back to a veritable information overload online with over 1,500 unread Google Reader items, I’ve decided that a lot of the noise I listen to runs completely counter to my goals in life. So I’ve decided to make a […]
…aaaaaaand I’m back!
So, what happens when I’m out of the office for an entire week? Oh, nothing much.
Offline for a week
I’m going to be offline all this coming week, from Sunday through about Friday. I’ll be spending some time out at a church camp all week with some high schoolers being a counselor and a speaker, and occasionally playing guitar around a campfire. Naturally, we’ll all be praying for the flood waters to quickly recede […]
IowaFlood and Nerdflood: two great floods that flood great together
Apparently there’s some confusion on the internets* about this new website that’s popped up called IowaFlood, and its purported relation to Nerdflood. So, time to clear the air. Here is a detailed side by side comparison of the two sites to give everyone a very clear understanding of what each site provides you, the valued […]
