This has been a busy week here at the iMonastery. We have gotten ourselves into no end of trouble, but that is not unusual for the iMonks. In doing so—as usual—we have missed out on some, er, interesting news stories. Now is our chance to catch up on the week’s fun and games. Join us,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.10.11”

Welcome to the kickoff edition of Saturday Ramblings. My Tulsa Golden Hurricane take on my Oklahoma Sooners tonight. Wait a minute. Who am I going to root for? They are both “my teams.” Oh what a quandary. What a dilemma. I have my masters from OU. I have, um, nothing, from TU, but they haveContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.3.11”

This is the “batten down the hatches” edition of Saturday Ramblings. If you are living on the east coast from North Carolina upwards, read this quickly, and then go get ready for the big blow. And let us know if you are in the path of this great storm. We will be praying for yourContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.27.11”

It’s Saturday, the day we do some light housecleaning at the iMonastery. I suppose that is bad luck for those whoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.13.11”

One million is a very large number. Well, maybe not when it comes to the government and its debt ceiling. But it is a huge number to us at the iMonastery. We have had one million iMonks visit the abbey since this time last year. One million. That’s not “hits,” that’s not “page views.” OneContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.30.11”

WooHoo! We made it through the whole week without any downtime, thanks to the stalwart work of Joe “the Plumber” Stallard and iMonk Sean. What say you we have a party? Let’s see … we have the Diet Coke with lime. We have the corn chips with a hint of lime. We have a keyContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.23.11”

Oh my. Talk about a mess. The sink got backed up last week, so we weren’t able to do any of the dishes. And the leftovers in the fridge are about to turn. I think if you pick some of that green off of the bread it will still be good. Help us out here,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.16.11”

One hundred and eight. One. Hundred. Eight. Degrees. I guess I don’t mind the heat so much as the fact that we all have to take turns fanning Chaplain Mike. Anyway, it’s hot here at the iMonastery and we don’t have AC. Reals monks don’t need AC. Ok, maybe we don’t need it but weContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.2.11”
