  • I Work at Kroger

    This has a bit of a slow start… but it is well worth the wait. This young man is involved in student ministry at nearby Woodside.

  • Bill Gates is Flippin Sweet


    Bill Gates Goes to College

    Posted Sep 15, 2005

    The Microsoft bigwig teamed up with Napoleon Dynamite in this spoof video from PDC 2005. The camera’s a little shaky, but you get the idea.

  • Should have bought the accidental plan

    Ever wanted to say "Yes" to the replacement plan at Best Buy? Here’s a great example of why you should. Brought to you by my 2nd favorite viral video folks… Blendtec. This should be on every youth workers "most wanted" list… the blender! Buy it now

  • What’s New for Season 2?

    Here is the video for this morning’s services.

  • Wonder why we want a new sign?

    Here’s why.
    Romeosign
    At first I thought… "Should I post this?" Then I realized… somewhere between 9 PM and 9 AM a few thousand cars already saw it. I’m posting it to make a couple of points.

    Interestingly, both Jason and I noticed it immediately. It’s funny because you don’t often notice the text of a sign as you drive. That is, until the text is different.

    You see, our eyes take in billions of pixels of information an hour. Our brains automatically ignore most of the images we see because we’ve already seen and processed that. We can ignore what we already know. But our mind draws our attention to things that are different.

    This is why marketing is such a fascinating science. How do we develop a message that both lasts and is different all the time?

    And the new sign we want. It won’t have moveable letters for this reason. Only problem with that is that it won’t have moveable letters to draw your attention to it. Which mean, we need to design the new sign in a way that is memorable for other reasons.

  • Random Facts Meme

    Well, I have been tagged in this by the big guy over at YS. I’ll share my favorite movie below and you’ll know why I am going forward with this.

    Rules to play

    1. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
    2. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
    3. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

    My 8 random factoids:

    1. I drove a 1978 Ford LTD station wagon in high school. I graduated high school in 1994. You can imagine how much of a chick magnet that was.
    2. Kristen and I met when we were just 18 years old. We’ve dated now for 13 years and are seriously considering making it a lifetime.
    3. I have a man crush on Paul Simon. I’ve got diamonds on the soles of my feet. I’m a poor boy, empty as a pocket with nothing to lose. My favorite movie is the Godfather. I can’t lie, I would like to be the Don.
    4. I went to the bathroom in the woman’s bathroom at Giordano’s last spring. It was an accident and the whole time I kept thinking… why don’t they have urinals here?
    5. In 2001, Sammy Sosa’s 50th home run of the season hit me but I didn’t get the ball. It was a line drive and left quite a nasty bruise.
    6. I have never watched any of the most popular shows on television. Instead, we watch mostly the Travel Channel, Discovery, History Channel, and Food Network.
    7. I have never broken a bone nor been in a car accident while driving. Though mentioning it somehow guarantees it will happen in the next 24 hours.
    8. I’ve played thousands of holes of golf, carry a 7 handicap, but never gotten a hole in one.

    I’m going to cheat and tag the same 8 people as Patti. Why? Because I’m tired!

  • Will it Blend? iPhone

    This post isn’t really a statement about what I think of the iPhone. I just wonder if Tom Dickinson had to pay for the service that goes with this badboy for 2 years or not? And something tells me he paid for the "bumper to bumper" cell phone protection.

  • No More Wimpy Church

    Alright, this is pretty funny and cool. Mark Driscoll is the teaching pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA and the founder of Acts 29 church plant movement. What’s interesting to me is that he’s not alone in this sentiment. There are a lot of people asking "the church" to get more masculine. I went to a session at NYWC in Cincinnati last fall essentially saying the same thing about youth ministry… How do you think you’re going to attract young men? By doing stuff that would get them labeled as gay? I don’t think so.

    question: For those who go to church… do you agree with Mark’s sentiment that we tend to make church for chicks? If so, what can we do to change that? If you don’t think so, how come?

  • Forbidden Blizzard

    I don’t know if I’ve properly talked about my addiction to Mynameisbill.com. But it’s fascinating to see this filmmaker make his way around the globe and video blog his experiences. Today’s installment is unreal. To think of being able to get Starbucks and even DQ in the once forbidden city.
