About Me

The website that Julia and I are working on together is now live! It's called STUMBLING THE WALK , and it is basically our blog about how we are approaching trying to "Walk the Walk" as it comes to living our values. Part of that involves our first big project, which we call VORACIOUS . We are photographing everything we buy and posting it online. Hit the link to check out all the details, and let us know what you think!
I also do some writing for New West. You can check it out here .
When I'm not jet-setting around the country as a data collection consultant, I can be found writing and recording songs in three different rock bands, fuming over political shenanigans as depicted in various .. blogs, and kicking myself for not being the writer to pitch the Dungeons and Dragons piece that appeared in Believer magazine. I've lived in and visited enough regions in the USA to realize that Missoula and Montana really are the Last Best Place, and intend to remain, even if it leaves me naked but for a loincloth.

Resolutions? We don't need no stinkin' resolutions. . . .

Welcome to 2007. I've been on vacation from work since December 22nd, so I'm expecting an enormous shock to the system come tomorrow morning. It didn't really start feeling like a vacation until just ...

Flexing of the Geek Muscle

It's like 15 degrees and snowing here. I like winter, but my summer was so highjacked by work travel that I feel like I got short-changed. Bought a canoe and got as much use as possible out of it, the...

A Bird for a Bush

This kills me. If I were a rich man, I'd send a big fat check this lady's way! Probably because when I was a wee little kid, back in the early 70s and the Nixon era, I once was roundly chastised by my...
