I registered approximately 10 domain names related to Unitarian Universalism. My idea is to start with a blog, then build a community forum, and ultimately found a "brick and mortar" church and mission. There is ... http://www.microguy.net/2009/01/02/unitarian-universalism/ This video features Travis Lawrence from "Stanton" and Heather Cole singing "Red Shoes". It's "positively" worth a look for the happy factor. The lead vocal and harmonies are just more icing on the cake. This video will make you smile. Enjoy! http://www.microguy.net/2009/01/01/red-shoes/ On Sunday, the family and I will be taking a trip to Newberry, SC to visit the Clayton Memorial Church, a UU (Unitarian Universalist) church with a rich and interesting 100-year history. The building was constructed by two brothers in 1905 and It still sits among the fields of the ... http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/31/sunday-adventure/ I just discovered that The Dalai Lama has a website. This looks like a super resource for learning about His Holiness. Is it possible that he will one day open an account on Twitter? That would be awesome!

Google has just introduced Google AdSense for Domains. This service allows you to "park" a domain with Google and earn adsense revenue from the traffic. This is done without any need for development. I have just ... http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/28/adsense-for-domains/ The Southeastern network outage effecting Embarq's Carolina customers (and beyond?) has apparently been resolved. I could ping regional DNS servers but all outside IP traffic was dead. We were down here in South Carolina for about 2 hours. http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/28/embark-network-outage/ Langhorne Slim sings "We love the animals". Last post for tonight. :o) http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/28/we-love-the-animals/ Seth Avett sings "Mary" which I believe is a Langhorne Slim tune. The vocals on this recording are superbly magical. I just got word that The Avetts are playing live at this very moment in Asheville, North Carolina which is only two hours away. And it's too late for me ... http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/28/seth-avett-mary/ My PHP studies are now concluding for the evening. I have reached the section on "Associative Arrays" and decided my brain needed a break. Now it's time for more coffee as I prepare for a night of .TV drop catching under the Southern moon. Peace be to all Cybertravelers, and ... http://www.microguy.net/2008/12/28/php-studies-coffee/
