I went to a petting zoo on Sauvie Island with kids recently and I told the kids “Next time you’re eating chicken nuggets you can think of these cute little chickens, cuz that’s what you’re eating.” Kelly jokingly scolded me with her eyes but she laughed and said...Along those lines, if you are a vegetarian you will NOT like this shirt (<-- click).

Tax-free Internet shopping going away?

Americans gather at the base of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., to protest the income tax and federal government overreaching. Rep. Ron Paul spoke at the rally earlier in the day.Always good to see the Tyranny Response Team on hand.I am all for paying my taxes, don't get me wrong. I think our tax dollars do some great things, and some not so great things, and God has called us to follow

A couple questions came to mind this weekend while I was sitting in church listening to the sermon. These are questions most of us who are Christians may know, but if you don't know "church speak" you may not know the answers.What's the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian? One thing. The Christian believes that Christ is God(Savior) and that without Christ he/she is destined for

There, I said it. Saying "4 weeks without LOST" was as hard as The Fonz trying to say "I'm Sorruuu, Sorraaa, Sorry." It's an ETERNITY!

It's obvious that the internet has changed since it's full consumerization in the 1990's. In my opinion the major change that has allowed super growth of the internet is the speed at which consumers are able to download content. Can you imagine trying to download YouTube videos on a 56K dialup connection? I mean people are still doing it but to really grasp everything the Internet offers, and

† Screwtape is the name of a Senior Demon from the fictional book The Screwtape Letters written by C.S. Lewis. "What if we found a long lost letter from old Screwtape instructing his nephew (Wormwood) on the horrors of the Ressurection?" was the question Bob Silver asked when he wrote this letter in the same fashion as C.S. Lewis wrote his book. It's well worth the read.
