    Many of you checked out the quick little video I made of some skateboarding on the 4th, but here’s a little more “holiday appropriate” content. Namely pictures of fireworks. Enjoy! [nggallery id=3]

    Here I am, sitting in a Billings City Brew. I was supposed to be doing some work, trying to wrap up a long overdue project and alas, I forgot my hard drive back in Bozeman with all the videos. Jess is off at a bridal shower and I am just sitting here with my tasty…

    So, its been a while since I’ve been on here to write to you all, and while I could go back into why I suck at blogging, I will refrain from such an endeavor. Busy! That has been the story of Jess and I for the last couple months. Our weeks have been so chock-o-block full…

    Today marks the three year anniversary for Jess and I. It both seems a long and short while ago that we were betrothed on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, one of two for the month of May that year. With each passing day, I have become more in love with my wife. I am great full…

    So, here is a load of pictures for the events preceding, during and after the graduation ceremony. This is also the debut for pictures from our new toy, a Nikon D7000 with the 55-300 lens. I don’t have the energy to put my deeper thoughts into this, but rest assured that I will add some as…

    One afternoon last week, I was asked to take part in a friends senior project. He needed a lead vocal to fill the position of another that ended up unavailable for the concert. I sing in front of people all the time as a worship leader at New Hope Bible Church, and this song was…

    So I’m a bit behind the times here and finally found the auto photomerge feature in Photoshop. This is pretty cool! Take some fairly level shots in sequence across a pan and behold, beautiful panorama. I took a fair share of these sequences while in the Philippines and I thought that I would share them…

    Now this post will deviate somewhat from the typical ones of late in that I will not be addressing the Philippines trip memoir or using it as a spiritual diving board. What I would like to discuss with you all is about the source of all truth. Now I believe that the Bible is the…

    There is always work to be done. How you do it depends on where you are. Where you are influences what you have. What you have has bearing on how fast it can be done. In some places, work will be automated. In other places there will be some or even none. This work was…

    Among the many things that we experienced while in the Philippines, we experienced a fairly noisy environment. We were well away from the big city bustle, but that didn’t keep the noise down. But before you begin to think that the noise bothered me, think again, it didn’t. The neighbor dog barking wildly, Two-stroke motorcycles,…
