Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States

“I am sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day; I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and of the pleasure. It is one of the most singular books in the world, for every time you open it, some old text that you have read a score of times [...]

Hiatus

Monday, August 28th, 2006

If Lileks can do it, I can, too. :) This week I have three crushing, client-facing deadlines (and my well-crafted plans for this morning have already fallen apart), and Intermediate Greek starts, and the kids start school, and I leave for a trade show after Labor Day, and much, much more! Ugh. So, I’m going [...]

I tend to [...]

Zombie web site

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

I thought I killed it. Long ago. But as I was doing a [vanity search](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=%22kpmartin.com%22), I found a [live copy of my old site](http://kpm.nwcomputer.com/Christian/M-Cheyne.lasso) running. Hmph. Dawn of the Website. thud… thud… thud… THUD… THUD… GRRRRRRRR!

Since then two weeks have past, and some of my interest has waned, or at least been swallowed up in busy-ness. Nevertheless, [...]

Bullet points again?

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Sorry, it’s all I have to offer right now. Argh! I have so much on my mind and no time to formulate it into recognizable English prose. – Thyroid cancer tests: great! As good as they could be. God is good to me. :) – Just back from Arkansas. Great trip. – Rebuilt my PowerBook. [...]

Whew. It’s been a while.

Ken’s Week in Bullet Points: – thyroid cancer scan looked good to my sharp, though untrained, eye; results later – work is crazy busy – 360 miles of driving yesterday… kids at camp (some of ‘em) – MacBookPro good; Entourage dreadful – the heat is subsiding; ahhhhh – [todo.txt](http://todotxt.com/), interesting idea… I’m trying it – [...]

Thyroid cancer testing

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

First, nothing bad. It’s a check up. I often have to wonder if I should post something or not. Is it too personal? Is it not “mine” to share? Well, I’m undergoing testing to verify that the thyroid cancer I had about eight years is still gone. I went back and forth on posting about [...]
