About

I am a twenty-six-year-old guy from Valparaiso, FL, working as a systems analyst for a defense contractor, worshiping God at a local Presbyterian church, and otherwise living it up around this part of the Panhandle. I am infatuated with - and constantly searching for - all that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy.

This is my Tumblr - it's a hub for all my various Internet activity. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers! ~ Jon

My hotel room at the Ritz Milner LA is TINY. I took this photo with my back up against the opposite wall. The bed pretty much dominates the floor. At least I have a fire escape.

To address something I hear being repeated all over: I’m no doctor but I suspect that covering your face with a tissue when you cough or sneeze will not prevent you from getting the H1N1 virus. All that will do is help prevent others from getting the virus if you are already sick. Washing hands makes sense though.

I fell in love with Modern Skirts a couple years ago, after being introduced to them by Paste Magazine.  The catchy piano-driven melodies hooked me, and I made a drive up to Athens to see them in person.  They blew me away.  Well, they have a new album out now, called “All of Us in Our Night”, and I’ve been listening to it for a few days now.  While I still haven’t determined what my thoughts are on it, exactly, I do know that I enjoy it thoroughly, and would jump at a chance to see them perform again.

This should be interesting. Just received a free sample of Starbucks’ new instant coffee, “VIA Ready Brew”. I think the promotion may be over, but if instant coffee is your thing you can buy it from the Starbucks site. Or, you know, you could just check and see if your local Starbucks has it.

Why?

I did this today (with military presses substituted for the handstand push-ups).  Yeah, I hurt.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I won’t be celebrating necessarily (not even wearing green), but I am going to a Spraoi this Saturday, so I figure I’ll get my Irish fix for the week anyway.

Lose It! is an iPhone app that tracks a user’s weight loss progress. I’ve been using it for a week now, and it’s pretty slick. To begin, I input my weight, target weight, age, sex, etcetera, and Lose It! gives me my recommended daily calorie budget. Each day I record what I have for each meal plus whatever exercise I’ve done and Lose It! calculates how many calories I’ve consumed minus the calories I’ve burned. Very handy, and it’s very fast and reliable. I’m keeping this one on my front screen.
