"24" in 1994

Thank you Lou for sending me this video clip. It is very funny especially if you like the TV show "24" and lived in 1994.

Say "Thank You" to our Troops

Here is a great way to say thank you to our troops serving around the world. Xerox is sending free cards to the troops to say thanks. There are about 200,000 troops (my guess) serving around the world. Won't it be great to have each one receive a card. Go to Let's say thanks and click on a card to send. No email address needed.

Former Korn Guitarist Interview

Here is a great video interview of the former guitar player of the band Korn. Here is the introduction:

Why Brian Welch Walked Away
The former guitarist and co-founder of heavy rock group Korn talks about the amazing turn his life took when he accepted God for who He is.

I highly recommend you take the time to watch it.

3D movies

Wired magazine had another great article about new technology - 3D film making. If you have been to Disney world lately, you know that 3D shows are very cool. This newer technology has spread to some big name directors.

Almost a decade ago, Cameron, flush with profits from Titanic and bored with conventional moviemaking, began developing a stereoscopic camera system he would later use to shoot undersea documentaries for Imax. Then, when Zemeckis was making an Imax 3-D version of The Polar Express, Jackson stopped by his facility in Santa Barbara and was wowed by what he saw. Zemeckis' friend Spielberg soon became a convert, too. Now Spielberg and Jackson are planning a 3-D trilogy based on the Belgian book series The Adventures of Tintin, Zemeckis is working on a 3-D performance-capture version of A Christmas Carol, and Cameron is deep in production on Avatar, a live-action 3-D sci-fi flick that he boasts will be Titanic in space

Apparently the new Beowolf movies was also shot in 3D. I now think I want to see it.

Rob Bell: Everything Is Spiritual

I enjoy Rob Bell and his perspective on life/scripture. This video is on sale soon. He also has a Nooma/Myspace page for more video previews.

Spiritual Type Test

Here is a fun test I just located on the web. It identifies your spiritual type based on 4 different options (Sage, Prophet, Lover & Mystic). Did I tell you that this is sponsored by Upper Room Books.

I am a lover:

You are a Lover, a feeling type, whose spirituality comes primarily from the heart or emotions. You value freedom, independence, and spontaneity. Along with your gift of enthusiasm, you show us how to have fun and appreciate beauty. More than any other type, you know how to experience joy. This puts you in a unique position to experience God in the moment, to revel in what is happening around you, and to be in the present tense.

To Lovers, God is a nurturing parent. Prayer for you is often extemporaneous, speaking to God about what is on your heart at the moment. Music moves you deeply; so does heartfelt preaching and worship. You believe that real faith must be shared. Consequently, many Lovers are interested in missions or in spreading the Gospel through the media. You are passionate about holy living.

On the other hand, a Lover's impulsive behavior can get you in trouble. You sometimes focus on satisfying immediate desires to the detriment of investing in longer term needs. You have been known to exude a "holier-than-thou" attitude toward other spiritual types. That does not endear you to us. Guard against thinking that to be right everyone else must share a spiritual experience similar to yours. You also may need permission to acknowledge anger, disappointment, sadness, and doubt, and to allow yourself to be less than ideal.

Yea - that is pretty much true of me.
