There are many things I hear each day, but there are some words and phrases that I often hear which I would love to hear much less often:

Traditional marriage – This term is used almost exclusively by the religious right as their argument of why two people of the same sex should not be able [...]

My long-neglected blog now has a new look and feel, plus I have added new social networking features so that it better integrates into Facebook and Twitter. I plan on doing more posts about PHP and Zend Framework to make my blog more interesting to read.

It has been almost ten years since I came out as a gay man.  Since then I have had a small handful of relationships with the longest lasting just nine months.  As I continue my quest for comanionship and the possibility of being in a committed relationship, I ask the same question: Where can I [...]

The severe winter storms that have pounded the Pacific Northwest have taken their toll, and now Seattle is effectively cut off from the rest of the US in terms of ground transportation.  Interstates 5 and 90 are closed as well as all mountain passes over the Cascade Mountains, due to flooding and avalanches.  The rains [...]

Last year I posted a blog entry about how much snow fell in Spokane in January.  Well, this is December and it snowed a lot more than last year (over 36 inches in a week).  That’s just too much damn snow to fall in just one week.  This year I thought I would be more [...]

With the defeat of Proposition 8, homophobia trumps marriage equality in California.  It’s a big defeat those of us in the LGBT community, but we must move forward and acknowledge the supporters of marriage equality.

I’m just about to fly home after spending the week at ZendCon in Santa Clara, California.  It was my first trip to ZendCon and was glad to get the chance to interact with other PHP developers and other industry leaders.  Nearly 700 attendees, including other PHP developers, managers and other professionals were on hand for [...]

After a year of being in Spokane full-time, I’ve decided to re-establish a residence in Seattle so that I can be closer to my business partners and work with them in person more often.  That’s not to say that I will be leaving Spokane behind.  In fact, I will keep my primary residence in Spokane.  [...]

If you care about the environment and oil independence, you might want to think twice about supporting John McCain’s pick for VP, Sarah Palin. She supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:
