BirdBox Logo in the Wild

I forgot to mention this, but a company I created a logo for was featured on the nightly news in Minnesota recently.  I was proud to see my work out there.  Click the link below to see the newscast.

Fun Stuff

As reluctant as I was to assume the role of Sunday school teacher, I’m finding it quite insightful. One of the kids, Eric Humphreys, seems to have similar taste in music to you, Toby, insisting that I listen to Sufjan Stevens (sp?) and Post War on his ipod. Anyway, one of the things we did [...]

There…But Back Again?

Perhaps you’ve all heard the brouhaha between Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema. It looks dire about Jackson directing The Hobbit, which would be a big disappointment after the brilliance of The Lord of the Rings films. I read about this this evening in The New York Times, so it’s certainly getting some attention. Go [...]

A New Tradition

A new tradition was born as part of our weekend in Kansas City: bocce on the long lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum and Sculpture Garden. Or perhaps bocce anywhere we gather and have access to a servicable bocce set.
Please go to www.bocce.org for further information on the sport, its history, and its rules. Certainly, [...]

Feel Free to Do Likewise

I am sending this letter to both of my senators and all eight of my representatives. Feel free to use my letter for your own purposes, or make your own. Both of my senators are Jewish; so I am assuming the word genocide means somehting to them. I am also sending it to my very [...]

Humble Request Regarding Food and Going Hungry

Hello All,
Speaking of food and going hungry, just thought I’d mention that I’m doing a three mile CROP walk this October. I’m supposed to have sponsors to raise money. I Don’t know too many people here to whom I can appeal. I’m trying to get people to send ten dollar checks made out to CWS/CROP [...]

“F” is for Friday

Human depravity redefined.
Be careful clicking on the link. It opens up with sound and video. And it may forever scar-black your soul.

 

Look and Feel

 

 
Okay, I’m going to shake things up a bit.  Now that we’ve hit our one-week anniversary for this project, I am going to swap design templates in and out.  It’s as simple as flipping a switch and I can revert back to this design any time.  Let’s try a new one each day and let me [...]

Baxter the Phat Box

Last Friday our primary commuter car, George the Stanza, succumbed to preexisting illness on our way to work. He is repaired now with a brand new distributor and doing fine but at 160K he’ll never be that spry 84K car that he was when we bought him. So after a grueling weekend of shopping and [...]

Date Change?

My super will not allow me to be gone on the weekend of October 28.  I may have to work that Saturday.
Alternate dates are the weekend of October 21 or November11.
What say you?

Watch out

You might get what you’re after.

In light of the recent firestorm regarding “deceptive luxuries” and “discontented idealists” I think it is important to remind all of The Hollow Men that I have only the highest respect and deepest love for each of you and I’m certain these feelings are mutual.
I hope that anything we write [...]

Moderate Comments?

My last comments went into a section called comments in Moderation, which don’t get officially posted. So just because I want to see my own words on a page with a misty bridge along with all this other nonsense, I’m writing another blob. Jeff, in case you’re still interested, the faculty show is Thursday, September [...]

OK, so here’s your stinkin’ title.(or is it ?)

Great stuff on the BTOP. I fear that there are many things we have loved that we can never go back to. Many movies, books, toys, games, etc (can read a lot into the etc) that just do not stand the test of time. How many times have we gone to the [...]

A cool blogging tool

I am posting this entry with a new tool Microsoft put out called “Windows Live Writer.”  It’s in beta right now, but it seems like an easy tool to use and can streamline adding new entries to the site.

This is the way the blog starts…

 
Welcome to the Hollow Men blog!
Hopefully this will be a place where we can meet to discuss life amongst the HM, even though we may be on different sides of the world.  The site will be a work in progress: I’ll be updating the design incrementally and we (together) will be updating the content. 
I’m personally [...]
