My Wife Cried At the Bar Today
No, this isn’t the title of my new country/western song. As most of you know, my wife Nancy is shaving her head tomorrow and donating her long locks to WIgs for Kids. She and I have been raising money for St Baldrick’s to fight children’s cancers. She set a goal of $10,000 to reach, back…

The Fathers Day Incident
DISCLAIMER: I, AND MY CLOSE FRIENDS, HAVE A VERY WEIRD AND TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR (If you share this link on Facebook, please DO NOT tag folks involved in this story) What do I mean by this? Myself, my wife, and damn near all my friends…

#wpmom and the WordPress Community
I have been involved in the WordPress community for about 6-7 years, and I’ve always been impressed with the people that I’ve met. Coming from a .NET programming background, the WordPress community could not have been more different.

Help My Wife Fight Cancer
I apologize – only to a certain extent – for the click-bait of that title. To clarify, my wife, Nancy, does not have cancer. She is helping fight children’s cancers. At this point, I will pretty much do anything in order to help my wife make her goal of $10,000 all in support of the…

Religious Tolerance
THIS IS A RELIGIOUS POST WITH LANGUAGE! CLICK THE LITTLE X BUTTON IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ IT! I grew up in Snellville, GA, a suburb of Atlanta. I was raised as an Episcopalian; Catholic light, half the guilt. I was baptized around 10 years old, had read the bible, and learned Christianity…

Serving is Serving…Regardless of Sexuality
This post is probably going to piss off some people, and quite frankly, I don’t give a shit.

My Religious Beliefs
They may not sit well with you. Or you over there. Yeah, you. Organized religion kills I do not like organized religion. This does not mean that I am not a Christian, or that I do not believe in God or that Jesus is my personal savior. It simply means that I do not like…

WordCamp San Francisco – A Conference That Changed My Brain
Here I am at home, near Baltimore, MD, blasting some metal music (Machine Head & Trivium, just in case you were wondering, @jarret) while typing this, and I really can’t get this shit-eating-grin off my face. WordCamp San Francisco 2011 was beyond anything that I could have imagined. I was in a town car going…
