So, for a while I've been meaning to make a dedicate writer / business website for myself to help market my brand and services. Now, after much delay, I've finally done that. I give you Noblesnake.com. This is basically a combination portfolio and business site: I provide samples of different work I've done, links to … Continue reading Announcing my new Website

My Federalist Little Pony
I just got paid for writing about My Little Pony: Achievement unlocked! Read the whole thing here: One of the best characters on the show is Luna, the Princess of the Night. She starts off as the villainous Nightmare Moon in the pilot episode, but after her defeat and redemption becomes a recurring heroic figure. Her … Continue reading My Federalist Little Pony
Milo Murphy at the Federalist
My next piece is up on The Federalist: this one about Milo Murphy's Law, the latest show from Phineas and Ferb creators Swampy Marsh and Dan Povenmire. If I could make a living writing about philosophy in cartoons, I would be okay with that. It is one of the core beliefs of western culture that a man’s worth is measured, not … Continue reading Milo Murphy at the Federalist
Have a Bleak Good Friday
I am quickly growing to be a fan of Mr. John Zmirak over at Stream. He effectively wrote what I would have liked to have written regarding Good Friday (a good thing too, as I probably wasn't going to write it): It’s all too easy to let this holy day get swallowed up by Easter. … Continue reading Have a Bleak Good Friday
Link: 20 Things Every Man Should Be Able to Do
It's rare to find good advice these days, especially on the internet, where everyone and anyone suddenly becomes an expert toting batches of statistics in service of advice that is typically shallow or obvious or both. That's one reason I like Chad Howse of Be Legendary and Average 2 Alpha: the guy actually seems like a legitimate … Continue reading Link: 20 Things Every Man Should Be Able to Do
How Christians are to Live In this World
I found this excellent article by John Zmirak on Stream, where he deals with the so-called 'Benedict Option' with straightforward common sense. I recommend you read the whole thing, but I especially want you to read the section from the second-century Epistle to Diognetus, which I've reproduced below. Christians are indistinguishable from other men either by … Continue reading How Christians are to Live In this World
New Federalist Essay
My latest piece is up at The Federalist, using King Kong and Godzilla to describe the human condition. Because I do that sort of thing. Sample: I say an anti-war message doesn’t suit Kong because, especially as depicted in this film, Kong is a warrior, and really doesn’t have the option to not fight. His presence … Continue reading New Federalist Essay
Interview with Haruo Nakajima
A respectful, interesting, and long-overdue interview with the man who was Godzilla. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oBNEG8kLfQ
Choose the Means, not the Ends
Here's a typically insightful article on the Affordable Care Act (so-called) by Joseph Moore, the proprietor of Yard Sale of the Mind. I highly recommend reading the whole thing, but the opening paragraphs are, I think, the most interesting: As is characteristic of virtually all political decisions, in health care policy, we cannot choose ends. We … Continue reading Choose the Means, not the Ends
“Not Yours to Give”
A thought-provoking excerpt from the biography of Davy Crockett on the rights and limitations of government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoEJ-D2bgc0
