Absolutely Andrew

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Dresser Refurb

    My coffee table refurb was so successful that we decided to paint our old dressers matching colors to get some more mileage out of them.  It sort of counts as our first DIY project with the new house. Preparation Pictures!     First coat!   Yes, mine is the white one…   The finished product!!…

  • Dear Ex-Girlfriend

    I’m not going to name you here.  Since I have dated more than 50 women in my life, no one will ever be able to know which one this is addressed to.  You of course know this is false, but for the sake of my image on this blog, please don’t tell anyone. I hope…

  • Andy Sandberg Look-Alike

    This past January, Tara and I enjoyed our 3rd Sundance Film Festival.  We saw three films this year, one of which, Madrid 1987, was at the small, intimate theater at the Sundance Resort.  The journey up to the resort on that Saturday afternoon was exciting enough–Utah was finally getting hammered with a snowstorm and chains…

  • AbsolutelyAndrew Categories Explained

    It has come to my attention lately that my categories might be slightly less than intuitive.  I have therefore decided to share the inspiration for each one such that you won’t be scratching your head next time you see “Is your wife interested in photography?” at the end of a post. A Day in the…

  • Advances in the Photography Front

    I’ve yet to become a huge fan of post processing.  In a way, it seems like cheating, but mostly it’s just because I loose interest in such things after a photo has been taken.  But I’m trying to do better.  We recently purchased an iMac, and with it comes iPhoto.  I love this program, and…

  • New Stuff

    For some time, I’ve been intending to add a page of my old poetry, and I finally did so!  It was an incredibly frustrating process trying to copy and past all these weird-ass fonts into a single document (Evidently I used to think it was cool to write sonnets in gradually increasing text size).  And…

  • AbsolutelyAndrew Turns 2!!

    A few weeks ago this blog turned the ripe age of 2 years old.  Much has happened in the past 2 years.  Blogging has gone in and out of style twice, other hobbies perpetually try to kill this blog, and I continue to be one of the only men I know that actively participate in…

  • Blog Dares 2012!!!

    Its a new year which means it’s time for another round of AbsolutelyAndrew blog dares!!  If you’re new to the blogroll, this is how it works: I give you a dare, and you post it to your blog sometime this year.  It’s that simple.  Those who choose not to participate will be publicly humiliated on…

  • So This is Christmas…

    Time got the best of us this holiday season and we did not get around to writing, printing, stuffing, and sending a Christmas letter.  With the Christmas rush over, I have decided to create an innovative, unprecedented interactive Christmas letter here. 2011 was a year of traveling for us.  Nothing major, just a whole bunch…
