Your Favorite Kids Movie

Your Favorite Kids Movie

I was excited to hear that they’re making another Toy Story. It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 15 years since Toy Story released back in 1995! Since then, Pixar has went on…

The Son Has Come And You’ve Been Left Behind

The Son Has Come And You’ve Been Left Behind

In the 70s and early 80s a realization swept through evangelical churches across the country: Time is short and Jesus could be coming back any time now!

By The Power of Grayskull I Have The Power!

I got on Hulu the other day to watch back-episodes of The Office and was geeked to see the latest classic television show they added to their ever-growing collection – He-Man!

You’ll find some interesting pieces of Internet history such as the original web sites for Internet Movie Database (Nov. ‘96), NASA (June ‘97) and Yahoo (Dec. ‘96).

The Long Road To Getting Back In Shape

I used to be in decent shape.
When I was younger a group of friends talked about going on a long bike trip and camping out along the way. When it came down to actually doing it only myself and Mark (now my brother-in-law) were the only ones able to go. So we bought all the [...]
