I keep a blog which is largely used as a way to keep in contact with friends and family. It also serves as a way to stretch my skills a bit, and the following samples reflect my casual efforts at this.
A light-hearted review of Crank, starring Jason Statham.
A response to Jon Friedman, who predicted a World Series Championship for the Chicago Cubs in 2008 (I am a Cubs fan).
An anecdote from my work in non-profit housing, which emphasizes compelling personalities.
