Unfortunately, their site is a bit klunky. When trying to place an order, I received the following error: Credit Card Authorization Failed. The following field(s) are invalid: (totalGrand) For some reason, the items I had ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2008/05/04/green-disk/ I've got the photos from our trip to Seattle organized into a set on Flickr. Take a look. http://mattluce.com/blog/2008/05/04/seattle-photos/ For those of you who haven't heard, Tom Crean has left Marquette for Indiana. Though he will be missed, it does open up an opportunity for me. I've decided to enter my name as a candidate for the position. I know that the average basketball fan probably ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2008/04/02/i-should-be-the-next-head-coach-at-marquette/ Sorry to go off on a rant here, but I'm so tired of seeing the word "definitely" misspelled. There is no "A" in the word. I can't believe how many people misspell the word. I find it funny when spell checkers suggest "defiantly" and the author accepts. ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2008/01/31/definitely-not-definately/ Well, I'm changing jobs.

I'm taking antibiotics now, and they seem to have cleared it up. I'd have to say it was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. The worst part was that ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2007/10/18/dysentery-sucks/ I finally organized the photos from my trip to France/Germany in April. View them here. http://mattluce.com/blog/2007/08/27/europe-photos/ Hola Amigos! I know it's been a long time since I blogged at you. My first photo has been "published" online. It's only a matter of time before National Geographic comes calling :). The picture they used was from my first trip to New York City. ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2007/06/25/photo-published/ The subtitle of the book sums it up pretty well: "How Politicians and the Terrorism Industry Inflate National Security Threats, and Why We Believe Them". A decent book. It really pointed out how ridiculous the fear of terrorism is. The chances of dying in a terrorist attack ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2006/12/31/overblown/ This is the second book that I've read by Richard Dawkins, and I have to say, I'm becoming a big fan. Admittedly, most of the book was "preaching to the choir", so I was a bit reluctant to read it. Despite this fact, I still enjoyed it immensely. I ... http://mattluce.com/blog/2006/12/22/the-god-delusion/
