It might seem like an odd combination but both web design and podcasting are great passions of mine. In creating a website for a local small business I feel like I take a little ownership in that business and have some responsibility in that businesses success. The same goes for producing a successful podcast. It's my way to leave a little lasting impression on our world. The fact that I can help make someone or someone's business be successful gives me a great sense of pride. Although I am a part of a global community I like to work with local businesses and podcasters so that I can impact my local community. By doing so in a small way I believe I can have a positive impact on the global community at large. Through your successes I am successful. Sweet Cakes Turns Me Sour - Local Gresham bakery hides discrimination with religious beliefs2/2/2013 Sweat Cakes Bakery As it so happens I walk by this bakery on a fairly frequent basis. On warmer days their back door is often open and glancing in the back room there's typically a couple of guys bustling around a table in a very, very pink painted kitchen. On one occasion one of the guys (the owner as it turns out) nodded pleasantly enough, and I thought "He's kinda cute, I wonder... the place is so pink and with a name like Sweet Cakes???" So when I read the headline about Sweet Cakes Bakery in Gresham denying service to a same-sex couples request for a wedding cake, I was a little bemused. I guess you shouldn't judge by appearance, but I'd have thought the bakery was at least a gay friendly establishment. Then I read the story in its entirety and my chagrin turned to frustration and even anger. My first impulse was to rush to the computer and post a rather heated and perhaps a little nasty comment. "They should be closed down! How dare they discriminate against my people!!!" |
