much and earnest

Stephen Hackett (ForkBombr), a good friend of mine (he was a groomsman in our wedding), a former co-worker (haveastandard.com), my go-to guy for Mac and iPhone questions (at least the ones Google can’t solve), and the fellow who introduced me to Rooney, Johnny Cash, and Death Cab, has been interviewed for Cornfedtech.com. Check out the first installment of the interview (text, audio, and a beard-y picture).

Noelle’s grandfather (retired entomologist, Baptist Sunday School teacher, and very congenial fellow) has recently published The Grand Canyon, Evolution, and Intelligent Design (available on Amazon).

He’s written a brief synopsis of the book here, at his new blog (Biblical Evolution).

Congratulations, Granddad!

I expressed my hope for it a few months ago. Now he’s done it. My brother-in-law Tyler (whom my wife and I recently made an uncle; pictures; Tyler’s reaction; my father-in-law’s reaction) is back in the blogosphere with Daily Belly Button Lint in Kuwait.

Tyler is teaching a few classes to middle-schoolers over there. Noelle and I enjoy his updates and occasionally brilliant humor (twelve months later, this one still makes me laugh).

He’s quite busy at the moment, but don’t be turned off by the delay between posts. His belly button lint is worth your time.

By the way, I think “belly button lint” is a fantastic description of most of what we do in the blogosphere. Mea culpa!

…for my brother-in-law, Tyler. (Here’s his blog: Daily Belly Button Lint in Japan.)

His blog deserves my support not only because he sends me more hits than any other single source on the web, but also because I think he’s a really funny guy (case-in-point).

As he recently announced, Tyler is about to ship out of Japan and into Kuwait. We can’t seem to get him back to the States to see us; Noelle and I even tried getting pregnant! But we can at least expect more belly button lint: Daily Belly Button Lint in Kuwait?

In case you haven’t realized this, yet, I’m on holiday from all things school — including the maintenance of this blog. Noelle and I are visiting family and friends in Memphis, TN, and will return to Lexington around the 4th of July.

Till then, I recommend you read this blog. Or this one. Or how about this blog? This fellow just got hitched; he may have some interesting things to say.
