Okay, so last year I made my mom a web site for Mother’s Day. It’s at www.happymothersdaydonna.com , and it’s nothing extraordinary. If you’re reading this after Mother’s Day 2008, you can see what I did in 2007 here.
***SPOILER ALERT: If you, my mom, Donna Murphy, are reading this, and it’s not yet Mother’s Day, [...]

Sunday, April 20th, 2008
My friend JJ got me a book a couple months age — it’s the 33 1/3 “How-This-Record-Came-Into-Existence” series’ book on Born in the USA. Bruce Springsteen and I go back — I was eight years old, with my mom and my sister in a K-Mart, and we were in the music section. My mom gave [...]

Monday, March 5th, 2007
…but before getting to the nitty-gritty of this week’s Tetris tournament, here’s a couple worthy quotes from the event:
“He’s an artist, and Tetris is his canvas.”
(Near the end of a match, from the Tetris play-by-play announcer) “This isn’t a question of who wins — it’s a question of who loses.”
The tournament was double-elimination, and I [...]

Found this while going through old photos last night. It’s me and my dad when he visited me in Chicago (and I took him around the city on the back of my motorcycle. We got a few funny looks from people). Summer of 2002…. five years sure passes fast these days…

In all seriousness, I don’t believe evil exists and I do believe love does. This frame of mind makes the world a much more [...]
