International News
My high school buddy Brandon Meyer felt compelled to join the Marines and currently is surviving boot camp. Before he left to become one of the Few and Proud™, he asked me to update his blog. I receive a letter every few days to keep his family and friends updated. Brandon mentioned that he was considering the Marines over Christmas. While I do not understand why he would join, updating his blog is the least I can do to support his decision. I filed this under International because the fate of every marine involves deployment overseas at this time in history.
Several of my Emerson friends travelled to Cambodia over Christmas break. Their documentary on Western influence and child adoption (among other issues) in Cambodia is rapidly being edited. The accompanying website is also being developed for a simultaneous release. Machines for Living’s website is one of my latest sites to use WordPress. I cannot speak enough praises of WordPress for allowing rapid, standards-compliant team web development.
