amazing emporers
Last night, I finally went to see the highly acclaimed movie “March of the Penguins” at the Angelika Plano.

The other day, I was telling y’all about Steven Vincent‘s 2004 book, “In the Red Zone.” I’m nearly 100 pages into the book and have already been moved beyond words by his writings about the true condition of Iraqi life and feelings towards America.

bigger’s not always better …
but in the case of computer monitors, it’s hard to imagine having a monitor that errs on the side of excess display dimensions. I’d just like to publicly proclaim my profuse love for my new monitor at work (a long time coming), a 21.3″ Samsung LCD that’s utterly gorgeous (Gary — your people done good) …
a vacation in pictures (part one)
We’re back from a gloriously wonderful time on the East Coast — just arrived at DFW last night. More to come about the adventures Daniel, AnnaLisa, Philip and I shared in and around DC, but for now, here are a few pictures… almost all of Daniel, since I was taking them (he has many of …
