SOPA, PIPA & the Ongoing Piracy of Videos, Music, Articles & Photos

2012-01-23T15:48:00.004-06:00

SOPA, PIPA & the Ongoing Piracy of Videos, Music, Articles & Photos I wrote this article a week ago expressing my apparently less popular views on SOAP & PIPA. It took a week for the article to post, during which time the debate has wound down. I wish the article had posted sooner, so I could have been unpopular louder and longer. Over the past several years, I have read numerous articles on

Amelia's Story Should Make You Angry -- And a Bit Afraid

2012-01-15T01:09:00.000-06:00

The story of little Amelia, a precious child with a mental disability who is being denied medical treatment is all too common, but it is a broader issue than precious children.

Where Is the Landmark Construction (Nashville) Tile Guy?

The tile is coming along. Too bad this batch of tile doesn't have as much translucence and sparkle as the last batch which was installed poorly had. I was asked if the pounding and noise of tearing out the old tile was an inconvenience. I replied that, no, the noise wasn't an inconvenience, but the five-week wait sure had been. Tomorrow I am supposed to get grout... and hopefully -- an oven!
