Quick Notes 3-30-08

After last week and this weekend, I’m tired. Hopefully I’ll get some rest this week.
In between getting rest, I’m also hoping to get completely caught up before the next big project hits.
The latest issue of The Business Journal comes out next week.
Pastoring at a small church is exhilarating, frustrating and challenging all at the same [...]

The Burger King Loaded Steakhouse Burger review

Do not, and I repeat do not, under any circumstances purchase a Loaded Steakhouse Burger from Burger King.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like a baked potato went out for a night on the town. He danced and drank all evening and stumbled home in the wee hours of the morning. With blood-shot eyes, he [...]

Christian music that’s not for sissies

You can read about my thoughts on Christian music here. That being said, I love Lee McDerment’s new album, A Matchlight in the Dark.
Why?
Because it’s just great music. I didn’t have to check my masculinity at the door before listening. I bought it because I’ve been a fan of what’s going on at Newspring where [...]

Twitter

I’ve had this post waiting in the hopper for a while but was inspired by Tony’s post to finally throw it out there.
You can view my Twitter page here. I opened an account with Twitter a long time ago. After a few weeks of using it lightly I wondered what the big deal was. It’s [...]

Expert reviews

I’ve been enjoying James Blunt’s new album, All the Lost Souls, this weekend and thought “I’ll write a review about it.” Heck, I write reviews about just about everything else, why not?
Then it occurred to me. I know nothing about music. When I hear a piece of music, I know if I like it or [...]

The Medal of Honor: Airborne review

The Game
Medal of Honor: Airborne is the latest in a long line of World War 2 based games. For some reason, I tend to be a sucker for these games. Call of Duty 2 was the first game I bought for the Xbox 360 and really the gold-standard for WWII shooters. The problem is the [...]

The Field Notes review

My set of Field Notes notebooks finally arrived on Monday.

Opening the package, I found my three notebooks, nicely shrink wrapped together, a Field Notes pencil and pen and a white Coudal Partners sticker. The notebooks are 48 pages of graph paper with a durable cover. On seeing them, Becca’s reaction was: “And they don’t [...]

The TMNT review

TMNT
(PG, HD-DVD version)
One of Conner’s birthday gifts today was the HD-DVD version of TMNT. I originally took the boys to see this one in the theater but had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I grew up watching the Ninja Turtles. I was there for all the movies, the cartoons and even had all the [...]

The Apple Keyboard review

Last Tuesday Apple announced their new iMac and with it a new aluminum-clad Keyboard.  There have been rumors floating around since they introduced the aluminum Cinema Displays that a matching keyboard was on the way. That was a few years ago and most just assumed they would stick with the rather crappy keyboard they had [...]

The Bourne Ultimatum review

The Bourne Identity was really a movie that came out of nowhere. No one was expecting anything particularly great from then non-action star Matt Damon. What it had, though, was a great story, very good direction and a supporting cast filled with stars like Clive Owen and Chris Cooper. All this elevated it to one [...]

Two words: Breakfast burritos.
Three more words: Peppered Bacon Salt.
One last word: Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Bacon Salt Update #3

Because of my willingness to try all-things bacon, I was mentioned on The Official Bacon Salt Blog today. That really made Becca laugh. I think my mom would be proud. I’ve officially arrived in the bacon blogging world.
Anyway. Today’s episode of Bacon Salt update is brought to you by Jack-in-the-Box. What was the meal of [...]

Bacon Salt update #2

Just had some Bacon Salt on re-heated pizza.
Adds a nice flavor to what is essentially two-day-old pizza that’s probably not fit for consumption.

Houston, we have Bacon Salt

The Bacon Salt has landed. I’ve tried it on a few things and so far I’m impressed. Don’t worry though, I’ll file a full review after more thorough testing.
The things I do for you guys.

The Transformers review

My first car was a 1986 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. It was red and black (and primer colored after I was through with it). Was it fancy? Not really. But I loved it. It was my first car. It was a breath of freedom. That first breath every teenage breaths.
That story of a teenager’s quest to [...]
