5 Fall TV Shows I Can’t Wait To Watch

1. Chuck – September 29 (NBC) I love Chuck. Partly because it’s so stinking funny and partly because the geek in me relates to the main character. The show is a perfect mix of comedy and action and Zachary Levi is perfect in the role of the bumbling, failed-at-love geek that you can’t help but [...]

Help Me Build My Workout Music Playlist

As you know I’ve been biking quite a bit over the last month. I’m a music guy so I love having something to listen to when I’m working or doing stuff so I just bought a little 1Gb iPod shuffle to clip on while I’m biking. What songs would you add to my high-energy, workout [...]

Cracked Pots

Sometimes I forget how really unimportant I really am. Don’t take that the wrong way. I know we’re all created in the image of God and have the destiny for greatness within us. But in the grand scheme of this life I live on the planet I was born onto I am so tremendously under-qualified [...]
