Alright, let’s see how this works! I’m attempting to post this from my phone, so far seems good!
I volunteered at the Liberty Mile last night, then drove to Harrisburg to stay with a friend to see a show tomorrow.
Got in a wonderful five Mile run with a member of the PRorER Ultra Team this morning and currently I’m enjoying some delicious cold brew coffee, reading a magazine and just living my best life, as the kids say! Also, trying mobile image upload for the first time too!
I’ll be back to some more regular writing next week, but this weekend I’ll be trying a bit of an experiment. I have a half day vacation from work this afternoon, so aside from being an adult and taking care of a few things, I’m heading downtown to volunteer at the Liberty Mile (and avoid the crowds at Picklesburgh).
From there, I’m driving to Harrisburg! I’m staying with a friend and seeing The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the Fulton Theater nearby and meeting a friend from my ultra team to run with Saturday morning!
I think I’ve gotten my phone setup to be able to submit posts from there, so I’m going to see if I can do a bit of remote writing this weekend! At least that’s the plan, we’ll see if it work!
A great thing I’ve worked on this month has been finally getting this site up to where I’d like it to be after the migration from Joomla. Hopefully I’ll be getting the last two bits of the puzzle in this last week of Camp (at least the last two that I can do, some of the dates got messed up from Metblogs and I don’t have a way to know the correct dates to fix them). If all goes well, I’ll be adding back in photo galleries as well as a small behind the scenes change to finally get the homepage how I’d like it!
Back for more, thanks for reading!

I posted the first one before, but here is the fully sick rapper again:
Synaesthesia is really weird, especially in how many different forms it takes, and I’m pretty sure I fit into at least one, and possibly two categories. I don’t watch Dr. Who, so I’m not going to call myself a Time Lord, but how cool would that look on business cards!
Here’s an interesting article about the current state of the GOP. I’m always excited when Buckley is discussed, since I actually know a little about him (and his son, one of my favorite authors).

This is making its way around the internet, guerrilla bridge building:

Andrew Sullivan has been talking about a giant statue of Mary, and here’s a follow up post about the area around the statue. The image reminds me of a combination of Er’Cana (from URU) and the beginning area of Myst V. I know, I’m a huge nerd. This shot also reminds me of some of the areas in “The Great and Secret Show” and “Everville.” As much as I want to post it over here I won’t, since it only has to do with the book.
This is a cool graph, and I think shows one of the reasons I love podcasts so much, I can multitask with them. And I listen to free ones (well, all but one).
Are you upset by the Catholic Church? How about trying to get excommunicated? One Seattle writer tries it, I’ll keep you posted. The letter is gut-wrenching and heartfelt, here’s a snippet:
I demand to be excommunicated because I do not believe women are second-class citizens. I demand to be excommunicated because your missionaries are informing impoverished citizens of third-world countries that birth control is a sin when it is in fact the single most important thing they could do to gain some small amount of control over their economic situation and health. I demand to be excommunicated because your church has become a hate group as virulent as any this world has ever seen, one that is unnaturally obsessed with the sex lives of good men and women across the planet. I demand to be excommunicated because I do not condone child rape or the concealment of child rape.
And my mind has been blown in like eighteen little pieces from trying to understand this link. I heard this elsewhere recently and I’m trying to remember where, but for the life of me I can’t. Maybe that’s because we’re exploding backwards from a white hole!
A guy has made a computer program called Jarvis, and integrated it into his apartment, as well as his GPS phone and his friends phones. It can tell when they are coming home and turn lights on, turn lights on and off for the dog and all kinds of other things. Here he is showing how it helps him out in the kitchen. Very much a bachelor, and I do think the paper towels so close to an outlet and the George Foreman grill may be a safety hazard:
Thank goodness Ginny commented on this picture, I had seen it that morning in the PG and screamed a little inside. Sometimes I love Harrisburg:
That’s it for now, have a great one!
