I am Justin Tadlock.

I am also a writer. A front-end developer. A gardener. A small-town Alabama kid just trying to figure out whatever it is that that folks are supposed to figure out on this journey. Welcome to my little home on the web.

Website Move A Little Rocky

I’m starting to move this site over to GoDaddy.com. It’ll probably take a few days to get this finished, but I’m working on it. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, it wouldn’t hurt to change your link to JustinTadlock.net for the next few days Okay, I’ve updated, and … Continue reading →

Celebrating My 300th Post!

Today is a very special day in this site’s history. It is my 300th blog post. One might be led to ask, “Why is 300 so special?” Okay, it’s nothing great, really. I’ve just been counting the posts until I reached this point. A couple of months ago, I realized … Continue reading →

Time To Leave Yahoo?

Okay, so I’ve completely reconstructed this entire site. And it only took me two days to do it. I’m now using my Wordpress software to control about 90 percent of my pages. I was set against it for so long, only using Wordpress for the blog part of the site. … Continue reading →

Amy On American Idol's Photo Page

I just received an email from my uncle, David Tadlock, who sent out a picture of my sister Amy. This was from when she tried out for American Idol in Memphis. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it. Maybe next year. She is the girl sitting on the right. That is one … Continue reading →

I Live My Life For The Weekend

$24 Dollars In My Pocket - Waiting On My Loan

I bet you’re glad I’m finished reviewing books for a while. My Official Week Of Book Reviews turned into two weeks of book reviews. Thankfully, I’ve finished writing about all the books I’ve read lately. I started reading Citizen Cyborg by James Hughes this week. But, I’m really ready to … Continue reading →

More Than Human

I don’t know if it’s the sheer number of books that I’ve read on human enhancement recently or what, but the contents of this book seem to have blended with every other thing about the subject. Ramez Naam is an optimist about the future of biological enhancement, but he calls … Continue reading →

I just finished my new theme. Let me know what you think, or tell me if there’s anything you’d like to see changed about it.

Freakonomics

A couple of months ago I stumbled upon this book by way of Amazon’s suggested products. I figured it looked interesting enough. And I’m not an economics buff, but Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubman changed my mind about that. With parts named What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers … Continue reading →

The Chronicles of Narnia

I finally got around to reading this collection of books. And trust me, it took a while. I think I was supposed to read this collection back when I was a kid. I actually can’t recall ever hearing about C. S. Lewis’ books until a few years ago. Nevertheless, I’m … Continue reading →
