Well, I’ve cleaned off my computer desktop, so the next natural step would be to… complete the homework that I have open in my browser. Since I have no desire to do that, and no looming deadline, I decided to work more towards my luddite goals. There wasn’t much on my desk to start with, [...]
As I mentioned in my recent post, one of the things that I wanted to do was to declutter my computer’s desktop (once again). Once I finished writing the last post, I decided that it was the perfect time to do exactly that. As a sign that I really wanted to make this change, I [...]
I spend way too much time on my computer. Reading blogs, looking up information, checking email, finding things to do, and other unimportant things. Unfortunately, this is nothing new, since I’ve written about it before. This idea comes as an extension of the Minimalist Experiment. I’m going to become something of a modern luddite, while [...]
Before the year started, I came up with an action plan for the year. I’ve managed to complete some of the goals so far, and recently managed another one. Travel My wife and went and saw the Moonbow in June. Granted, we had a horrible view of it, but we did get to see a [...]
Way back when, as I first envisioned what I wanted Adventure-Some to become, it was grander than today’s results are. This is entirely my fault. I haven’t kept up my end of the bargain.

Well, it took a bit longer than I planned, but I just finished my Finance Tracker 2.0! I wanted to simplify my finances so that I could track how I’m doing and plan for the future with one easy-to-use interface. After much fiddling with it, I finally have a new system that I’m pleased with. [...]
If you remember, as part of the Minimalist Experiment, I went through my closet and got rid of the clothes that I don’t wear on a regular basis. Some of the clothes I threw away, some I donated to goodwill, and some I put in a duffel bag and stashed in the back of my [...]
I’m great at hitting the snooze button. It took me 40 minutes to get up this morning. Yesterday I stayed in bed for almost an hour longer than I intended. I wasn’t late, but I wasn’t nearly as prepared for the day as I wanted to be. I do well for awhile, getting up with [...]
One of the items on my 2010 Action Plan was to head to San Antonio during Spring Break with the Cats for Christ ministry. My wife and I did exactly that, and spent a wonderful week working with Urban Connection. Our trip started off on a less-than-ideal footing, when our ride to the airport didn’t [...]
Twas the day before Thursday and all through the place This creature was stirring, delight on his face. The hammock was hung on the patio with care, knowing that Nap Time soon would be there. Then I was nestled all snug in my threads While visions of camping out danced in my head. The missus [...]
