I love the little summaries WordPress prepares for its blogs every year. Here's mine! The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Don’t Forget About This.
Actor and comedian Seth Rogen appeared before a congressional panel to talk about how his mother-in-law battles Alzheimer's. I'm a fan of Seth and his inappropriately funny movies, and this congressional address made me even more of a fan. Good for you, Seth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHqx3-mfHAY My grandparents played a huge part in raising me. I was …
Artist Trading Cards #3
For the 3rd gathering of our ATC gathering we met at my friend Marian's house. Marian goes to church with us and interestingly, her family's house was used in a Kelly Clarkson video a few years back. We watched the music video while we sat in her living room! I used my pyrography pen (again) …
Just Call Me Miles Dyson
4 years ago I purchased a refurbished iRobot Roomba 830 on a deal website. It was a pretty good deal for one of these cool little floor vacuums, so I went for it. The little droid lasted about 3 years before it stopped working. After I got married, my wife inherited this broken robot that …

Depending on what item you purchase, you can support different organizations and different causes. There were necklaces for anti-human trafficking, sachets to …
Hong Kong – Day 2
Hong Kong seems like it has 3 major things in the city. Malls, skyscrapers, and old, dingy apartment buildings. After going to the mall on our 2nd day in the city, we headed over to Stanley. Stanley is an area in the southeast of Hong Kong. It's named after a British Lord, but the local …
A Whole New Level
I saw it on a whole new level... FIELD LEVEL. When I was a kid, my dad, my uncle Ronnie, and my grandpa used to take me and my cousins to Dodger games. My grandpa seemed to really like watching baseball. We'd all put on our blue Dodger jackets and hats, then head to Dodger …
Maker Faire Bay Area 2012
We took a trip up north this past weekend to run Bay to Breakers, but the day before we had some time to stop by at Maker Faire in San Mateo... a fetival/fair with all these innovations/inventions. Let me tell you... this place is crazy nerd central (aka, pretty cool). If you're an engineer or …
Maturing Like Oaks
A lesson from an old oak. I was at a Come Away retreat put on by the Leadership Institute a few months ago, and Alan Fadling directed us to Isaiah 61: “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent …
