    I’m always going on and on to my wife about how a company could be more effective at a, b and c. Probably too much. Anyway, since this is my blog where I share my thoughts, here are a few things I’d like to see netflix do with digital distribution. Create a viable tv/movie viewing…

    When my wife and I got married 5 1/2 years ago, we had in common that we both preferred the winter over summer, I can’t say the same anymore. This past winter was very frustrating with all the snow. We were stuck inside a lot and with a one-year-old, it’s not much fun being cooped…

    The house we liked is now contingent to sell. It’s been over a month and we haven’t had one person come to see our house. This past week my wife and I have both resolved to stay, and I’m ok with that. It is the case that when you want something, if you wait, the…

    Since I wrote the previous post, I’ve had some feedback of family members and such wondering how I’m doing…I will tell you, better. Traveling for me is always something that makes me nervous…I guess it’s the unknown. The winter is also difficult, with the short days, but I’m feeling more and more hopeful and bright.…

    …We have insulated ourselves from miracles. We no longer live with such reckless faith that we need them. There is rarely room for the transcendent in our lives. If we get sick, we go to a doctor. If we need food, we go to a store and buy it. We have eliminated the need for…

    Budget Forms (.xls spreadsheets) My wife and I make a Zero Based budget every month. That means every dollar is planned out. I’ve commented a bit in the spreadsheets and will more than likely put up a tutorial on how they work. By the way, if you don’t have office, get OpenOffice.org (I’ve written about…
