My 30th book of the year is one I gave my wife as a Valentine’s Day gift in 2013 and only now got around to reading myself.

My 27th book this year is the second volume in Rick Remender’s incredible graphic novel Low. Again I was astounded and delighted by the story of hope that Remender continues to weave in this futuristic and bleak setting. Greg Tocchini’s art, Dave McCaig’s colors, and Rus Wooton’s lettering all continue to be great. This volume… Continue reading Low volume 2: Before the Dawn Burns Us

In many ways the books is a meditation on Philippians 2:5-11 which begins with the words, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” The book, which I’ve been reading slowly for the… Continue reading The Mind of Christ
As a product owner working with a growing suite of products in an active market, I am frequently asked to “do a demo” of our product for a new prospect. Our development team, support team, and consulting team all work closely with each other and with the business development team and the marketing team to… Continue reading What’s in a demo?
Yesterday my wife and I watched the 2014 movie Selma about the event leading up to the Civil Rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965. The timing for watching the movie was somewhat coincidental; it’s been in our Netflix queue for months and the disc just happened to show up in time for us… Continue reading Selma
