Random Thoughts

A small collection of writings (and pictures) that for one reason or another I've decided to put online.  I'd like to think that I'll regularly update this portion of the site, but past experience tells me that updating will be irregular at best.  Despite this, I am irrationally optimistic that I really will add something every once in a while.  As a gesture toward this end, I have added a short piece on Jennicam with the promise of a companion piece to be added someday.

Zippergate
A pathetic and now outdated essay about an exceptionally depressing and tedious scandal.

John Calvin and Me
I grew up (and still attend a church) in a denomination based on the theology of John Calvin.  It strongly formed my sociological imagination.

Avalon
I ran a roleplaying game based on the Song of Roland, the legends of Charlegmagne's paladins, Arthur's knights, and some borrowings from C.S. Lewis.  Here's a session by session description of the story.
