Learning the Stress email Causes
by
note: I found this in my archives of posts. I went through this about 8 months ago but thought it was interesting now to see where I’m at with email and how I got there. In the summer of 2011, I moved this site from a single WordPress install on GoDaddy (I didn’t know any…
Connected to the World, But Disconnected Locally
by
I have some idyllic family scene in my mind. Parents are sitting and reading the paper, while kids chat and have cereal. Now dad accidentally spills his coffee and is upset about wasting a newspaper, which is now sodden. Of course today’s paper is a tablet of some sort and as I found out, that…

No One Will Care
by
Recently I was sitting talking with my wife about the current state of our kitchen. It all functions, but it’s often a bit cluttered. I won’t say messy because the sink is full of clean dishes rather than dirty ones. We both feel some social burden to make sure we have put away all those…
