My dad expressed his opinions on computers [...]

My name is Joshua David. Many think that my name is very Biblical. It is, but that’s not as it was intended. I was named after the indigenous desert tree and my father. I finally met my namesake in the Nevada desert this week.

Elise calls this composition “Joshua on Joshua”
And yes, [...]

Elise and I are on a short trip out in the desert to visit my maternal Grandpa. We flew to Vegas out of Austin last night and are getting ready to hit the 160 west out to Pahrump.
Yesterday I was that guy who got the full-on inspection at the Austin airport. Then I [...]
