I think Nayt would prove a fine asset to a magazine. He has a way of mastering intrigue and brevity. Nevermind his use of philosophical words and lingo I don’t understand. Contextuality usually rushes in to aid my non-philosopher brain.
But I thought I should write something. After all, Nayt can’t have the full [...]

Last week got a bit crazy, but I wanted to comment on the weekend that Dave talked about complexity.
Part of me falls under the spell of Paley’s watchmaker analogy; that is, if you found a pocket watch in a field you would assume it didn’t just happen—it’s too complicated with interdependent parts. Pop [...]

My favorite story this month is about the hit man who was allegedly hired by a husband to kill his wife, a 51-year old nurse. The alleged hit man whacked the nurse with a hammer, which only pissed her off, so she strangled the hit man with her bare hands.

I went ahead and posted a few photos from the honeymoon. There were over 600 pictures, but I did not think everyone wanted to see 500 pictures of mountains, so I picked a few really good ones. You can find the photos at the top of the page under honeymoon.

In the past month, I have been asked this question about 100 times, sometimes by the same person, like every time I see them. In an effort to set the record PERFECTLY straight: Married life is…
*strangely normal.
*a daily reminder to not be so selfish.
*hard when I conceed to watch Nayt’s movies and they scare me. [...]

Today at church Dave spoke about awe and creativity. He gave one example about how amazing it is that we are even alive because of the complexity of a cell. Dave did not really go into to much detail about it though, so I was thinking I would write something about cells, Mitochondrial DNA, and evolutionary biology, [...]

Yesterday I spent the day organizing more of the apartment that Nayt and I share. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment when the house not only looks cleaner, but also has a designated place for things that used to just lay around. But I had to admit I got frustrated with the “forced” [...]

I can’t decide if I prefer the candidate for President who says we should consider all the facts before deciding when to withdraw troops from Iraq or the one who says we should consider all the facts before deciding when to withdraw troops from Iraq.
