Want Religion or Politics? Try My New Blog
In my day job, I’m constantly wanting to share a bit about what I believe, but a tech blog like this isn’t the best place to do that. At the same time, I am fairly opinionated about politics. For that reason I’ve created a second, separate blog for religion and politics I’m calling “Stay N […]

Read more...Who are the Mormons?
For those of you unaware, I am Mormon. I try not to preach the religion topic too much on this site unless it has to do with Technology, but I did realize there wasn’t much on this blog talking about who I am and what I believe in. I’m hoping to correct that and while […]

Read more...Proposition 8 – It’s Not Exactly Cut and Dry
I’ve been standing back for awhile listening to the various sides in the blogosphere on Proposition 8 in California.

The Judge declared the law unconstitutional, making Gay marriage legal in […]
