Christianity and the Future April 10, 2021
(The LAST) Part of a Series on Christianity in Present-Day America You can see parts one, two, and three by clicking on their respective numbers earlier in this sentence. Update: As I was writing this, Gallup released a brand new poll showing that – for the first time since polling began in 1937, the percentage… […]

Exploding computers, and free food of the days of yore April 3, 2021
I do apologize for the lack of a post last weekend. I spent all of my free time that week dealing with … well …. this: I got out my iFixit toolkit and put humpty dumpty back together again as best I could (lots of stripped screws and cables held in place by tape because… […]

Why Young People Leave the Church – Part the Second March 20, 2021
Part of a Series on Christianity in Present-Day America I apologize for this not being up last week. Once you start to research and deconstruct this stuff, there appear more and more rabbit holes you go down. Also, as I’ve always said, brevity is not my strong suit. Also, I’ve switched back to the stock… […]

Why Millennials Leave the Church March 6, 2021
Part of a series on Christianity in present-day America If you haven’t read last week’s article, you can catch up here. I received my primary education (Kindergarten – 8th grade) from a Lutheran school.

Movie Review: Man of Steel February 21, 2021
Originally posted June 14, 2013 First off, I have to say that I am not particularly knowledgeable about comic books. I have many friends who are, but I simply am not that type of nerd. So, a detailed discussion on how this movie does or does not fit with the minutiae of the comic books… […]

I HAVE RIGHTS! … I think? February 15, 2021
In December of 1948, the United Nations General Assembly passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).[1] UN General Assembly, Universal Declaration of Human Rights” 217 (III) A (Paris, 1948), http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/.

A slow waddle down memory lane February 2, 2021
My undergraduate senior recital was in February of 2006 – 15 years ago (criminey, what have I been doing with my life?). Here are five of my favorite selections (about a third of the recital) from the ancient Compact Disc that the university made for me of the event. I practiced 90 minutes a day,… […]

Probing the Zeitgeist – #ShantyTok? January 31, 2021
Welcome to Probing the Zeitgeist – where I attempt to explore, examine, and understand a particular part of the ephemeral popular culture of the day. So, I am well aware that the inauguration was 10 days ago, and the Bernie meme was started on the day. In internet-meme-time, 10 days is an eternity. Luckily, I’m… […]
