Protect Your Tech: Solo Elite & UAG Pathfinder [Saturday Morning Review]


by

I'm currently on year eight of a two-year Master's program —kids, job change, etc— and this semester I had my first class back on campus since 2011. The class I'm taking is a research class, which means that, on any given night, I'm carrying 200 sheets of paper (journal articles), three books, two notebooks, a laptop, and a tablet on my back. Each week, I became increasingly worried that my messenger bag would give out. Then, I got an offer to review the Varsity Elite backpack from Solo. ... Read More

Join Us for Extra Life 2018!

We are doing it again. Last year was a huge success as we were able to raise $500, of which my team raised $165. The whole charity was able to raise $7.3 million dollars last year.

Why I Stopped Vlogging and Using YouTube


by

Anyone here ever had one of those God-ordained moments where you are stressed, to the point of it maybe being visible to people, and you are given your answer through prayer? This may be audible, maybe there was a light from heaven, but definitely peace and clarity of what you need to do next? I got that. A week or so ago, I had one of those moments in the car while driving and praying, I received that moment of, "I think it's time to let the YouTube channel go away." ... Read More

‘Daydreamer’ by Matthew Parker [Saturday Morning Review]


by

Few pop artists really live up to that label "artist," but Matthew Parker is one and Daydreamer proves it. The music is catchy, filled with all the hooks, loops, bleeps, and bloops that should be expected in 2018. And yet, it's really good! Most of the time, when an album has "everything," if often feels a bit bloated and overproduced. That's not the case here. The music sounds hand-crafted if that's even a thing anymore. ... Read More

Volunteer Life: Already Messing Up


by

Last episode, I talked about my nerves of jumping into the volunteer life with church tech after taking some time off. A rotation has been set up with over 15 volunteers for the ministry so that people can rotate in just one weekend a month. You are still donating over 8 hours of your weekend to serve, but it is nice to have time in between serving. Of course, one weekend in and I'm already messing up. Volunteering is definitely important to me, but Ohio at this time of year with fall is also ... Read More
