In the past six months I’ve been fortunate enough to make two trips to Nashville, TN. Nashville is one of my favorite places to visit. I’ll be posting a few things about Nashville soon, but in the meantime enjoy The Urbanophile’s take on Nashville.

A new blog project is underway and this time I have a cohort to help me. Well, actually so far he has done most of the writing. Maybe that’s a good thing? I’m not sure.
If you are into college football, be sure to check out Buzz Meets Brutus at http://www.buzzmeetsbrutus.com. It is a joint effort [...]

A birthday celebration always calls for a cake, hopefully a good one with plenty of icing. Rather than picking up one from your grocery store (unless you have a Publix nearby) or making one from a box, why not check out your local bakery?

Four and a half years is long time to own a computer these days, but January of 2005 was when I made the jump from a desktop to a laptop. The little Dell has served me well and has certainly been a great computer for me.
It was time to move on though. The Dell [...]

Interesting post over at Indie Columbus regarding what attracts people. I think it’s an interesting, realistic look at the reason people move. Economic opportunity is definitely important.

Giving Columbus a shot

When Sandy and I first moved to Columbus last May we chose to live in Dublin due to its convience to our respective places of work, nice setting, affordable living, and general “niceness.” We toyed with the idea of living downtown. It appealed to both us but we did not think it made sense at [...]

Turns out I need more of a WordPress refresher than I though. It has been way too long since I did any real editing or customizing. I would definitely appreciate any tips, feedback, or other suggestions about the new look/layout if you have them.
