A mishmash of thoughts on religion, life, technology, and whatnot.

Unbelievable Rube Goldberg Machine
This video is unbelievable. They must have spent a week getting all of this stuff perfected to work together. Check it out.
GrandCentral + ConquerClub
According to DownloadSquad, Google has just acquired GrandCentral, a Web 2.0 site that I was unfamiliar with, but am loving the concept of. It's a (currently, and hopefully continually free now that Google has bought it) phone service where you sign up and get a free local phone number. My ...
Turkey Vulture!
I loved Andy Brown's frozen chicken rules video from a few years ago and I thought that it was probably time for something else like that. For some reason I decided to purchase a vulture and some stage blood and make a video with it. When I told the team ...
The Office
Everyone seems to be in love with the Office, so I thought that I would point out a couple of brilliant clips from the original UK version. These are both from my favorite episode, which I think was the 3rd one overall…
24 Season Six Trailer
The trailer for the 6th season of 24 has launched. How in the world can they ratchet up the action/suspense. Take a look and see. I wonder what they're going to have left to do in season 7?
Black/White
I found a link to this site where you can upload a photo and it will scan a database of celebrities and match your face. Interestingly enough the results for my family's showed us to all be light skinned black people. Click on the image for a larger version.

Ask a Ninja
Thanks to my friend Chris again for turning me onto this:
the Ask a Ninja Podcast is hillarious. I think we'll use these at Senior High 1 this summer at Sumatanga.

Ron Paul 2012?
I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power.
Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll.
Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
America has an Empire Problem
At its height, the Roman Empire had 47 major military bases scattered throughout the lands under its control. When the British were running their empire, they had 36 bases.
What happened to these empires? The cost of maintaining them bankrupted them. They were unsustainable.
We don't like to call ourselves an empire, ...
Critical Success, Commercial Failure – Cops: Sumatanga
For the last few years, I've come up with a camp rules video for Summer camps. After a couple of years of milking the Turkey Vulture video (part two was never uploaded, I need to find that one), we stole a concept from another camp and went crazy with it.
I ...

The Crimson Tide went 6-7 last season and has not won a national championship in 15 years. Yet a number of Alabama fans truly ...
A Landmark Day in Technology?
I love how some people are mocking the Apple tablet buildup, point out that Microsoft has had tablets out for years.
Yes, and there were mp3 players before the iPod, but which one is considering the ultimate version of the technology that caused it to take root?
And there were smartphones before ...
