August 25, 2008 Many good opinions about the Olympics - thanks for all the feedback! Clearly I overlooked speed walking, which can really only be preserved for comedic value.
Here's my question for you: If the Olympics were canceled - say, because 10 years from now China is winning every medal and the rest of world collectively says, "What's […]

I’ve been watching the Olympics lately, and almost daily I find myself saying things like, “How long has THAT been an Olympic sport?” and “You can win a gold medal for doing THAT?!?”

August 18, 2008 So many good comments on all the above topics… I hardly know where to respond.
As JC pointed out, there are good examples of strong, committed Catholics building very large businesses (like Tom Monaghan and Domino's Pizza). Having spent most of my time in the Evangelical Christian world, I'm sure I'm ignorant of numerous good examples […]

I had a […]

July 11, 2008 Okay, vacation is over for the Vischer family, and now it's time to get busy. Really busy.
I spent the last two days in Orlando at the International Christian Visual Media conference, where I spoke a few times and gave a bunch of Christian filmmakers a sneak peek at JellyTelly. Now we're hunkered down preparing for […]
