Obama and Romney are more alike than different,... →
The fact that Obama and Romney, left to their own devices, might well meet in the middle and find common ground, Sabato says, “is literally irrelevant. Their party bases will not permit them to do so, and their own partisan activists will go after them hard if they try to compromise too much. Or maybe at all.” This statement is depressing because it’s a true representation...

Photo Journal of Weekend Trip to New Braunfels →
We went to New Braunfels this weekend with some friends from church. While there, we floated in the river, went to Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and had a great time. On the way home, I finally figured out how to use iPhoto for iPad and loved it. I put together one of the new photo journals that it can create. Those are super cool! Very ‘web 2.0’ and very useful. I only hope Apple makes it...

Both are shows Kari and I watch. I definitely see the similarities. I wonder if there is a comment on modern society to be gleaned from this.

‘Simple Song’ by The Shins performed live at SXSW Auditorium Shores Stage Great show! Made even better by the fact that Aidan and Regan went with us, and we all had a blast! I love that they’re old enough to really enjoy this kind of stuff now.

A baseball purist's defense of adding a AL/NL...
Major League Baseball (MLB) announced today that they had reached an agreement to add a second wild card team to each of the American and National Leagues. This would create a winner-take-all, 1-game playoff between the 2 wild card teams in each league. Only the winner of that single game would advance to play the division winner with the best league record. I’m sure many of of the baseball...
