Could have been amazing

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

So, I’m in Carthage, TX right now to visit my family. The ride to Carthage is quite a long one (6-7 hours), so I saw a lot of different things on the way here.
As I was leaving Taylor on the way up here, I was riding right along a train track. There was a train, [...]

If looks could kill . . .

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Last night, I had a strange dream that I felt like sharing. Why do I discuss my dreams on this blog so much, you might ask? I guess my real life is just boring enough that I need to supplement it with my fantasy life. Oh well. On to the dream.
In this dream, I was [...]

My birthday

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Yesterday was my birthday, and boy, was it a great one. Around 6am, there was some noise right outside my room. It was just enough to not actually wake me up, but enough that I was able to hear what’s happening, and the sounds in the real world would meld with the sounds in my [...]

A Scottish delicacy

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Last night, I got a craving. I was thinking of my time in Scotland, and some of the stuff I missed from there, and one stood out. Some stuff I can get here in the States, like haggis, or Irn-Bru (it’s not easy to find, but not impossible). But there’s one uniquely Scottish dish that [...]

The lesson was mainly about The Word of Wisdom, but one of the quotes that was read mentioned the benefits of wholeseome recreation as well. Bishop Simmons told us that the root [...]

Vote for Crosswalk in the 2007 Insomnia Film Contest

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

As I mentioned a couple days ago, I helped create a three minute film for Apple’s Insomnia Film Contest.
Well, the time to vote has finally arrived! Apple took a little while longer than they expected because they were just overwhelmed with entries this year. Their website is still a little shaky, but you can still [...]

Joe Stryker Pilot

Monday, September 24th, 2007

I should probably keep a lid on this until it’s ready, but I can’t. I’m too excited.
On Saturday, we filmed the pilot episode for our new webshow: Joe Stryker.
Joe Stryker is an action hero of the old school. Imagine taking Chuck Norris, Knight Rider, the A-Team, and McGyver, putting them all in a blender, adding [...]

So, around the beginning of the summer, I began to work on a Facebook application called Photos With Friends. The idea was that it would be really cool to see which of your friends are in the most photos with you. Well, it took me a few days to get it up [...]
