The Comet’s Flame

I made a simple web-based game! Click on the image to play!
You can move the green “person” left and right by pressing “Z” and “X” on the keyboard. The LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys rotate the “gun” and the SPACE key shoots a ball. The goal is to shoot the balls through the moving […]

As a Christmas gift, my brother Josiah received a box of magnetic words which can be used to create various sentences on the refrigerator.
Josiah and I decided to use these words to compose and record some wise proverbs.
I would like to share some of them with you (click the above picture to see the entire […]

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day.
I pray that God will grant you peace and joy on this special holiday.

Check out this beautiful song by Stuart Davis. Stuart is an Iowa native, Zen practitioner, and all-around weird guy, and while most of his works are incredibly bizarre/disturbing, he has produced a few gems like this one. I don’t necessarily agree with the philosophies espoused herein, but I still enjoy the song…

Well, the grassroots Tea Party ‘07 fundraising campaign was a huge success for Ron Paul yesterday, rasing more than 6 MILLION DOLLARS in a single day. Needless to say, that is an all-time record for single-day presidential campaign donations.
Clearly, Mr. Paul has struck a chord with the American people. People are starting to […]

Due to this blog’s standards of decency and propriety, I cannot say what I’m really thinking right now, so the following paragraph(s) will have to serve as an approximation…
