Fifteen years ago, I bought a new vehicle.  I didn’t splurge on all the options packages, but I bought something that I thought would serve me well for the years to come.  (I probably didn’t do too bad as that is still my main vehicle today.)  The truck was great.  I felt mighty on the […]

The app development project was not moving in a direction that I was comfortable with.  This was a slightly complex project, and I didn’t want to commit nearly $300 to my first, outsourcing endeavor.  However, last week, I had three smaller jobs that I could easily outsource and manage.  And, as small as they were, […]

For our honeymoon, my wife and I traveled to Mexico.  While we were there, we got to visit some of the phenomenal Mayan ruins, outside of which, are locals selling their products.  At one such place, a local man came up to us with a hand-carved piece of wood.  I wasn’t really shopping, but it […]

I am deeply impressed by the number of books a friend has published.  Actually, this guy is incredible.  He pumps out at least one book per year and is having a blast doing it.  Not only do I admire him, but I admire the impact he’s having and the platform that these books give him! […]

I want to get more done, but I haven’t found a way to create more time.  I have my own company with talented people on the team, but they are all busy doing their job.  They are too busy to help me realize my other ideas (and our R&D budget isn’t large enough yet). Throughout […]

Tonight we were reading about George Mueller with the kids.  In the story, George had just shared his calling to start his first orphanage with his church and the book went on to describe the scene.  Many people had questions (generally polite ones) that they asked to his face.  But, there was another dialog that […]

Last week, I dropped my truck off for my mechanic to fix.  The check engine light was on and the engine was running rough.  The next day, he called.  He needed to run an errand and offered to bring my truck to me if I could drop take him back.  As he was getting out […]

To the girl who decided to use my daughter as a punching bag today, As I watched my daughter cry, trying to make sense of your unwarranted bullying, my heart broke…for you.  You see, my daughter came home to a family who loves her and accepts her exactly as she is.  She doesn’t have to […]

When you hear someone talking about research, what do you think about? Does it bring to mind a laboratory with test tubes, beakers, Bunsen burners, and chemicals?  How about an academic, spending years reading books tucked away in the library stacks?  Or maybe a university professor, running experiments, writing papers, reporting results, and developing theories?

Thanks for stopping by!  I am in the processing of migrating my old, Google Sites based website to WordPress.  Until last night, I didn’t realize how much content there was to move…so I’ll be doing this over the next few weeks. It is my sincere hope that this platform makes it easier for us to […]
