Welcome to the blog of Connor Boyack, a 20-something web designer, political economist, and budding philanthropist.
I'm changing the world, one byte at a time.
Somebody has put together a website for what they’ve termed NaBoMoReMo (National Book of Mormon Reading Month). The idea is to encourage people to read the Book of Mormon in its entirety during the month of December (thanks to Ben for spreading the word).
LDS faithful will no doubt recall President Hinckley’s challenge two years [...]

Last night, John pointed out a talk to me in the 1973 Ensign titled “Strengthening the Patriarchal Order in the Home”, by Brent A. Barlow.
The article is quite interesting, and I recommend its perusal. Barlow’s main point is that the role of father needs to be strengthened in the family, [...]
The following is a talk I gave in our ward’s sacrament meeting today:

An Attitude of Gratitude
July 16, 2007 Journal Entry
I’m amazed at the ability of the Zambians to be content with what they have, which is usually next to nothing. This is demonstrated in a common conclusion of their prayers when [...]

In the days and weeks following Sister Beck’s recent general conference address, titled “Mothers Who Know”, some sites in the bloggernacle threw a temper tantrum, expressing frustration and disapproval of her remarks.
However, the flames of frustration have been fanned by a few “women who know” who have organized a web site containing their [...]

To begin, I must clarify that when referring to the highly publicized and hyped events where presidential candidate are each asked a question as a “debate”, I do so only because that is the moniker by which they are most widely known.
But these gatherings are anything but a forum for debate.
Witnesses of these [...]
Having been tagged by Dr. B and M&M, I suppose I’ll give in and post this missionary meme.
1. Answer the three missionary questions
1. Did you serve a mission, and where?
I served from January 2002 to December 2003 in the Honduras Comayaguela mission (no fue con mi abuela, fue en Comayaguela.. broma!).
2. What was your [...]

One aspect of the pre-election process I loathe the most is the mudslinging that inevitably occurs between candidates. This is a hallmark characteristic of politicians vying for power, and it’s downright annoying.
The war of words is a common tool for Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Fred Thompson, [...]

This is my kind of veteran:
I was at some gathering not long ago where they asked all the veterans to come forward and be acknowledged. My wife and kids urged me to go forward but I would not. I am not proud of travelling 10,000 miles from my home at the age of [...]

Those who wish to either emphasize the fallibility of the Prophet or rubber-stamp the current Iraq war frequently cite President Hinckley’s “War and Peace” talk from the April 2003 General Conference. This talk is used by both sides of the aisle: the left, aiming to show the Prophet as being “just a [...]
Pakistan is in turmoil as the president (a military dictator and U.S. puppet) has suspended the Constitution in order to fight the “grave threat” posed by the “visible ascendancy in the activities of extremists and incidents of terrorist attacks”.
Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America: Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot, must be [...]
Glenn Greenwald, in light of yesterday’s donation extravaganza, sums up the Ron Paul phenomenon.
Highlights:
While Barack Obama toys with the rhetoric of challenging conventional wisdom, Paul’s campaign — for better or worse — actually does so, and does so in an extremely serious, thoughtful and coherent way. And there are a lot of people who, more [...]
Just sent this out to my mailing list:
—
I’m excited to send this email out, because it’s another chance I get to talk about our brothers and sisters in Zambia who I was able to spend time with this summer.
A special fast is being organized by some Mothers Without Borders volunteers for this Thanksgiving season. [...]
