Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:37:52 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Our family had a great camping trip last weekend. It was our first camping trip as a family and the first "real" camping trip ever for my wife and two kids. We had really rough weather and rains on the Friday night but the rest of the weekend was absolutely ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/07/04/slideshow-of-our-family-camping-trip-to-clifty-falls/ After hearing the rain pitter-pattering on the roof and windows outside and being a little tired it made me wish for a happy place I had as a child growing up. It was on the front porch of my grandmother's house on 1317 Clay Street in Bowling Green, KY. When ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/07/03/wishing-for-meemaws-house/ I'm going back to the Dark Ages for a couple of days and will be with no computer and probably no cell phone and Internet access. Keep me in your prayers. I could go into a technology depravity induced coma. If you don't hear from my by Monday morning.....   ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/06/27/off-the-cloud/ Now really? Would you stop? Would you start? Image Source: No Idea - Let me know if you do http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/06/26/would-you-stop-drinking/ This past Sunday I picked up my daughter from her class after church service and she had made a little necklace out of Fruit Loops cereal and a pipe cleaner.

They've recently received lots of $$$ funding so hopefully their downtime issues will really start to get worked out. I just found out about this article that talks ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/06/24/the-twitter-offices/ Apparently he's not dead and according to his e-mail he has some connection to my high school alma mater. That in and of itself is weird because the fraction of living people that have even heard of my high school would be miniscule. That's just the way ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/06/18/i-get-email-from-dead-people/ One of my latest "clients" is my pastor. I've set him up with a blog and introduced him to twitter. I just found out he reads my blog, which shouldn't really surprise me but it made me think. Do I post stuff I wouldn't want my pastor to read? I ... http://www.bnpositive.com/blog/2008/06/11/what-if-your-pastor-reads-your-blog/ I've had numerous people ask me recently, "What is twittering?".
