Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Advent is Upon Us!

December 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m not gunna lie: I felt a little panicky when I got back from vacation and had 850+ unread posts in my feedreader this week. Ack! I ended up marking-all-as-read to a lot of them just to help my sanity. Not that it has any bearing on today’s links because I’ve been gearing up for […]

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Right now I’m on a business trip, so my longer inspiration posts from Chicago will have to wait just a wee bit more.

June 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Coldplay’s Viva la Vida is like a perpetual hug: sometimes bone-crushing in its intensity, sometimes a familiar, warm embrace. With this album, more than any other, they’ve taken a huge step forward with their sound, and I approve.
