Why We Began Blogging →
This is why I blog. Whether it ends up working like this or not, I’m not sure. But the post is worth a quick read. Tell us about the things that are beautiful, wonderful and make you love life. If more people would do that then there certainly wouldn’t be people complaining about the amount of blogs in the world.
WatchSave Ferris! One of the few remixed trailers that really works, tempting you to believe that a movie where Ferris Bueller truly was sick would be even better. — nickdouglas

Tumblelogging isn’t micro-blogging →
Tumblelogging is defined by it’s format: specific types of posts for different media and information, not it’s limited entry length. This is why I twitter and tumble (if that’s the right verb tense). Thanks for putting it succinctly Cameron.
Joy →
I’ve been listening to Rob Bell’s messages from Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids for over a year now. I’ve quoted him a few times in this blog, but never have I really spent time and listened to one sermon so closely (nor wanted to share it with others). The message was simply about Joy (specifically, about Joy during the Christmas season). Anyway, the thing that really provoked my...
Holy cash cow! →
The Cubs aren’t spending more on their payroll, you are. I can’t say I’m very pleased about this. The Cubs have the second highest ticket prices in the country (behind the Red Sox) and now they’re going to add more advertising to Wrigley. We can only hope that the new owner (whomever it ends up being) actually spends about 2 minutes caring about the fans instead of the...

Shawn’s review of Mint was enough for me to go out and add it to my site. Its an absolutely beautiful and fantastic application.

An Open Letter to Macy's →
“Let’s be clear, Macy’s: I’m not getting teary-eyed because the Fields no longer own the store. Like anyone else, the Fields owned the store to make money, not because they cared about making Chicagoans feel good about themselves. And it especially doesn’t bother me to have Field’s owned by Macy’s rather than the Target corporation. (Target itself has...
A heartfelt plea: Sell me your working vacuum... →
My wife’s vacuum cleaner is the loudest thing ever (even louder than her snoring) and my wife hates it because it barely works (kind of like her brother) so she has given me an ultimatum: buy me another one or I start randomly deleting things on your TiVo. People of Virginia Beach, I humbly implore you to sell me a working vacuum cleaner (bonus if it comes with attachments) for $25. I am...
“If the only prayer you say in your entire life is Thank You that would suffice.”

Why don’t you sit awkwardly in my big, stupid, round papizan chair over there while you wait for me. It’s like you’re sitting in a hug! (via AATW)
cameron i/o projects - Tumblelog pixel icons →
I’ve been looking for a way to differentiate my different posts (mainly between links and articles) and Cameron Hunt had the perfect way to do that. I wanted a simple, easy to read theme that had lots of consistency, but with that, I sacrificed that differentiation until I found these pixel icons. Check them out if you’re looking for something to add to your tumblr. (and...
My Top 10 of 2007 →
Since everyone else is doing it, I figured I might as well add my 2 cents in the form of a top 10 list. I’ve actually done this in previous years but didn’t last year for some reason. I think I actually did write a top 10 list, but never actually published it.
I felt like it was a pretty good year for music. One thing I did notice this year is British music was fantastic. There were a few...
A Week of Shootings →
From Jon:
This week has been filled with news of shootings. We had nine people killed in the Nebraska shopping mall, seven people killed in two separate shootings at Colorado religious establishments, and even a fight breaking out that turned into a shooting match at a Columbus mall. Not very festive news for the most festive time of the year.All this has had me thinking about the FISA debate...
I’m waiting on an e-mail from MySpace to cancel my account. I sure hope it comes soon. I can’t wait to get rid of that thing.
The Rockist Society: You raise me up →
My brother met Josh Groban, then got attacked by “Grobanites”. Then got linked to by the Stereogum linklog. These Groban fans are worse at defending rather crappy overproduced music than Clay Aiken fans (Claymates). Seriously, listen to it. He’s got a good voice, but damn, he needs some better songwriters, producers, etc. Maybe we could have a battle of the horribly named fan...
