We gather together and sit in a living room and try to approach an infinite god.
We think in abstract terms of city boundaries and subjective measures of betterment, personal revelation, divine contact. We pray in concrete terms of broken hearts and tears and messy lives.
Behind words expressing goals and desires and expectancy lies the real fear and truth that we’re doing something natural but hoping for supernatural results.
On the day the world began,
I was born with the earth and the moon.
If you wonder how old I am,
It’s billions through and through.
On the day I was conceived,
The sun walked among mortal men.
As daughter of light I do naught or do right;
I can lie neither by lips nor pen.
On the day I came of age,
The moon claimed the night as her own.
My youth is tied to her domain;
As sure as the tides I’ve not grown.
Bob 2.1 is now live! Changes include slightly less annoying sound effects for B’s; 5 new, easier levels added to the beginning; a dark gray grid under the level; a minor enhancement to Orange Guy behavior; and simplification of the main menu.
(For some reason I had to quit and reopen my browser for the update to load correctly; you may have to do the same.)
Check it out: Bob 2.1.
Here’s my latest and greatest creation! Although it’s really only about 40% my creation since most of the credit goes to my brother Paul who made the original DOS version of the game about a decade ago. Check it out and enjoy!

I’ve had this “song” (if you can call it a song) sitting around on my computer for a while. I forgot about it and then stumbled across it today and it fit my mood pretty well so I’m posting it.
As Roper would say, “hope you hate it.”

Our first week in Peoria is almost up and things are going well. A lot has been unpacked and besides not having a bed at the moment our apartment is starting to feel like home.
We still haven’t been out in the city much. We don’t know our way around the roads or stores yet and believe it or not we haven’t seen any of the rest of the Peoria team who’s already here yet! There will be a team meeting next week where we’ll remedy that, though.
Working from home has been a delight. It’s nice to see Carrie more and to not have to worry about packing a lunch. I can even play video games on my lunch break!
All that aside, I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet that we’re actually moved out of Champaign and this isn’t just temporary. It doesn’t seem real that all our friends and family are nearly two hours away! We’re definitely open to visitors if any of our friends want to help make that transition smoother!
There are many things I should be thankful for and many more things I could be thankful for, but mostly this year I’m thankful for a wonderful wife who cares for, supports, and challenges me. We’ve been married four and a half years but I feel like I’m still just beginning to get to know Carrie and understand how wonderful she is!
Happy thanksgiving everyone! Sorry if that was too cheesy for you. ;)
