Congrats to my friend, Pete, in St. Paul, Minnesota (I know I’m really supposed to say "the Twin Cities") for being the one person to own the privilege of having been… the 15,000th HIT on the yeti-speak…. Pete, if I ever make up an "official" yeti-speak…T-shirt (and I am seriously considering it) I will send…

“God loves you and has a difficult plan for your life.”Mark Galli – Jesus Mean and Wild I like this quote. It sums up a way of looking at the Christian life that I’ve believed in for some time now. God’s love for us is amazing, but if we submit to that love and delve…

Last night I was craving oatmeal. So I searched the cabinets and found a bag of Chinese brand (Sea Mild) instant oatmeal. Only one problem: the instructions on the back of the package were in Hanzi (汉字) a.k.a Chinese characters. I couldn’t make out some of the important instructions…but seriously how hard can it be? …

Can you tell I’m highly unmotivated to study Chinese during my meager month and a half summer break? I keep finding little things to blog about. For example, did you know that I know when you come and visit me here at yetispeak? Yes, Big Brother is watching. And you thought you were the one…

I realize some of you, dear readers, are going through some pretty bad heat waves right now. I’m not making light of it…and I hate to rub this in, but I’m going to anyway: Typical Xining weather has returned. Today it is sunny (blue skies) and (currently) 75 degrees. We had a few days of…

I read H.G. Wells The Time Machine this afternoon. Short little book, but thought-provoking. I somehow missed it even though I read many of the classics growing up. The book triggered a question for me about what it would be like to look into the future. So let’s say you had a time machine at…

Many years ago, I once heard this guy, Kent Hovind, giving a talk on creation science. At the time, what he said made a lot of sense to me. It seemed he really knew the Word and seemed to know a lot about science, too. But, then again, science is not my strong point… Turns…

I really miss this little trouble-maker. Don’t let the picture deceive you, folks; she’s a hand full and a half. But when it’s all said and done, she’s a real sweet sort of mischief. And she’s almost 3 now…can you believe it? Goodnight, sweet Saree. Daddy misses ya!

I love Google earth. The satellite photos work well if you have coordinates…because I just found our apartment complex. It’s a little blurry, but much improved from the images they used to have. The red arrow is pointing to our actual apartment building. That fuzzy gray splotch (near the point of the arrow) is the…

You’ve heard of the three r’s, right? reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmatic. I’ve spent most of my life focused on the first two of the three. The third "r" I use when necessary, but I can’t say that I love it like I do the other two. I think I am foremost a reader, but maybe…
