Today is a milestone. This is the 300th episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday. That's quite impressive when you consider that most podcasts don't last beyond 10 episodes. But is it a reason to celebrate? In a way perhaps. We should at least acknowledge it. This is a milestone moment after all, and as the definition points out it's an important point in the progress of this podcast. Just like episode 250 was and episode 200 before that, and so on. That's what milestones are. Points in the progress. They help us measure how far we've come and how far we still have to go. Read More...

Last Wednesday my family visited the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman, Oklahoma. Kari and I were looking forward to our visit, but the kids were not. Visiting museums is not how they envisioned spending their summer vacation. We tried to get them excited by telling them that the museum had dinosaur skeletons and telling them about other fun museums they have visited, but they weren’t buying it. It was still a museum and it was not nearly as exciting as visiting the waterpark or going to see a movie. Read More...

Have you ever had one of those days where you're just not in the mood to do anything? That's how I feel today. It's 11:30 at night and I'm sitting in front of my keyboard trying to compose my SILY episode but I'm just not into it. Read More...

For those of you who are parents, have you ever wondered if your kids are listening? Who am I kidding, of course you have. Sometimes it’s maddening.

There are times when my wife or I will tell our kids to do something only to hear them say they never heard us. I know that it’s possible to not hear someone even when they are in the same room, but I’m quite certain that there are times when my kids choose not to hear us, especially when we ask them to do something that they don’t want to do.

Like you, I love hearing the stories submitted to our Friday forum each week. This past week we heard a story from Faith about her love of teaching and how it was never her intention to become a teacher. Hearing her story gave me an idea for today's episode. So thanks Faith.

I touched briefly on my journey to be a graphic designer way back in my very first Friday Forum submission in SILY number 10. That story was mostly about how I met my wife but it touched a bit on our college years. Look it up if you're interested.

Here's the expanded version of that part of my story. Read More...

Did you hear last Friday’s episode? It was a really great episode with Friday Forum contributions from Faith and Justina. Justina closed out her call with something I found simple and profound. She said, “The stuff that I learned yesterday has turned me into the person that I am today.” As I expressed during my comments to Justina in Friday’s episode, her choice of words really got me thinking. However, something happened at church yesterday that really made this phrase hit home. Read More...
