Loud & Clear

let’s see it

I love a little view into other people’s world’s. Gene started it with an original post. Then Luke and Dana blogged theirs. So here’s mine.

There are some things I like immediate access to for functionality, hence the widgets. I wish TweetDeck was a little cleaner, but haven’t found one better for desktop that lets me manage groups, search, etc. Click for a bigger view.

What’s your desktop look like?

poor education bridges socio-economic barriers

So my sister sent me this video and I thought it was hilarious.

But I think this goes beyond blonde. There’s a lack of common sense and then there’s a serious educational gap. You be the judge.

Crazy Products #3

Now I understand Get Smart was a much better movie than most of us anticipated (though I didn’t get to see it in theaters & now have to wait for DVD). And I understand that merchandising is just part of the movie machine. But seriously, who is buying extra bags of chips to get their very own Shoephone?

Notice there’s no actual picture of a shoe phone, so kids can’t see it and bug their parents to buy chips til they get it. And most adults (I’m sure someone somewhere “needs to have it”) could care less.

So this goes under Crazy Products as another moronic attempt to usurp our expendable cash.

creative element potential problems

When programing an element for your worship or youth service, there are a couple things you should think through first.  Potential technical problems should be near the top.

Check this out.

Thanks Dana for sending this my way.

By the way, if anyone knows a WordpressMU plugin that would make this thing show up on my page, let me know. I’ve tried a few, but no go so far.

Here we go. One pill is all you need to take care of that pesky sin issue. The good thing is, if you carry the bottle with you, you can do whatever you want!

Also, I never realized that forgiveness tasted so much like lemon…

Tag line provided: One a day makes the sin go away.

My tag line:  Forgiveness never tasted so good!

the black plague

In days gone by, I lived in Sacramento where a few of my best friends and I would gather on Friday nights for games of strategy and brilliance.  Penny ante poker was the subject of many an evening. The other evenings were dedicated to a game called Risk.

Risk is a turn based strategy game where you try to take over the world. Each player’s armies have a color and you gain additional armies based on the size of the countries you controlled. I was always black.

What made this game so fun, was the strategies we would employ to prevent certain players from growing too strong and wiping out the others. Then it was all about negotiations. If you could convince the others you meant them no harm, you could gain a precious foothold toward global domination.

Of course, my friends always called me the black plague. My negotiation skills were supreme, and despite the warnings of others, I often lured my prey into a false sense of confidence.  This comic brought back all the warm memories of those Friday nights. Just substitute “black” for “blue” and it was like it was written from our living room over a decade ago.

Ah, good times.

most awesome series promo ever

I can’t be redundant with the title. This is the most awesome series promo ever. Shall I say it again? When Kevin and I brainstorm for series promo’s these kinds of ideas pop out, but as we could never pull them off, we sigh and get back to reality.

That said, check out this series promo for lifechurch.tv’s new summer series.
