If you’d like to give money to aid the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar, consider this.
I was reading a CNN article about the situation earlier this week and came across this paragraph.
“World Vision, which has 500 aid workers in Myanmar, has provided aid in the country for more than 40 years. In a rare […]

How do you help the world by doing nothing? Contribute your unused computing cycles to worthwhile global data-crunching efforts! Since most of us have fast computers, we are often not maxing out the processors inside. Berkeley has developed a platform called BOINC, which allows scientific research projects to tap into that capacity.
I recently installed BOINC […]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there have been a bunch of movies in the last year where a woman decides to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term? We just watched Waitress recently. There was Knocked Up before it. And Juno is still in theaters. I will never claim to know […]

John McCain just won the South Carolina Republican Primary. With this victory, it looks it’s going to be a two-horse race on the red team between McCain and Romney.

Over the holidays, we finally got around to watching Amazing Grace and learning more about the abolition movement. One of the tactics of the abolitionists was to promote and buy sugar produced by plantations that employed free people. Some even went so far as to not take sugar in their coffee or tea.
Obviously there […]

… Warren! When I was still only talking about starting a blog a long time ago, he suggested the best name for the blog which would capture all of my hopes and dreams, my longings for what could be, the essence of my passions.
Okay. It was just funny: Not on My Quach!
Thanks, Warren!

5. Compost (and generally lower my carbon footprint).
4. Respond to every Poke/SuperPoke (and generally keep more up-to-date on Facebook).
3. Blog more regularly.
2. Exercise. (In past years, the word “more” would follow the word “exercise.” At this point, I just need to get out.)
1. See more through the eyes of faith.

After I finished my time with InterVarsity earlier this summer, I embarked on a six-month experiment to see if supporting a few fair trade businesses through marketing, sales, and distribution would be a viable next step for me. And it has been. I was concerned that these might have to be side projects always vying […]
