I should be in bed, but the werewolf was sitting on my desk next to my camera. What was I supposed to do?

A Divinely Inspired Lack of Historical Perspective

“During my lifetime I have seen a significant deterioration in the respect accorded to religion in our public life, and I believe that the vitality of religious freedom is in danger of being weakened accordingly,” Oaks said. “Atheists and others would intimidate persons with religious-based points of view from influencing or making the laws of […]

We Were on Morning Edition!

We were on Morning Edition today! You can read the transcript or listen to the story on the site. It’s very exciting, and the story’s great too.

The Ficly Server Support Project

Ficly is doing fine, and it’s a nice break from work stuff to go play in something uncomplicated without a bunch of dependencies. The community is great and they produce some fantastic stories.\ As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m enamored with Kickstarter and asked them if I could create a project for Ficly […]

The Future of Product Development

It’s basically a way to run a pledge-based funding round for a specific purpose. A lot of the projects on the site are from artists who want to release an album, or filmmakers who […]
