One Step to Blue
It has always been a dream of mine to swim in the ocean, look at coral reefs, and see actual fish. Not just watching Finding Nemo, but actually swimming in it. To do that, I would have to snorkel or scuba dive.
It was really a happy moment, therefore, when my father told me we [...]

10 Ways to Be More Generous and Give
[ This isn’t my normal type of writing. This is a bit more technical, and I really should put it on my technical blog, but it doesn’t have anything to do with technology.

Bigger Screens
A week ago, my father finally answered my prayers and purchased a gorgeous new twenty-two inch widescreen computer screen. The bliss!
It was hard to convince my father. He insisted that a huge screen was not a “needâ€. I insisted it was, citing a report about how larger workspaces increased productivity.

Rain on the Sea (Poem)
Rain on the sea, The water in the breeze, Watch it blow free, The rain on the sea.
It slowly grows more, The water more dense, Slowly raining offshore, That sound I adore.

Waiting for You
My mother was having a big party, inviting a lot of her friends. Her friends. Not mine.
So to compensate for the loss, my mother got two of my friends (Kev and his little brother) to come and play. I decided it would work and I was told they would come at 6:30 in the afternoon.
At [...]
Can You Beat Me?
Swimming is a sport I have loved and done for many years now. I joined a swim team and I swim there year-round, even through the winter, where the temperature is a few degrees from freezing.
Frequently, we would swim in the summer and I would swim with my parents. The other day, my dad and [...]

Lights Out for Internet
A few months back, we bought a set of HomePlug AVs, things that let you go on the Internet through a power line. As my dad and I eventually proved, it was extremely picky. We had to unplug my mom’s touch bedside light to make it work. Somehow it was interfering with the signals.
