Last night I ‘installed’ a new blog template.  My old one wasn’t feeling masculine enough with it’s light blues and other non-manly colors.

This one is black and grey.  The color of grease and soot.

Swing by and take a look if you haven’t been by in a while!

The Fridge…
Storage vessel of all things edible.  Keeper of the food and drink.  Deterrent of the mold and funk. Resting place of keys and gadgets.  Gallery of child-hood. Magnet-central. Magnet-heaven. Magnet-nirvana. Magnet-fest-2008. Magnet-magnet.

Can you guys think of any other descriptive terms?

1. Take a picture of your fridge
2. Optional (but cool and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) - upload your photo to the flickr “show us yer fridge” group and tag everything on your fridge. If you click on my fridge above you’ll see what I’m talkin about.
3. Write a post about your fridge (with the picture)
4. Comment here at my blog and then head over to Alex’s page and participate in Mr. Linky! (I’m not sure how to get into that just yet!)
5. And we’ll all have a good time!

Yea, so I decided to clean out my wallet this morning and had this much “trash” concealed within it’s dark murky caverns.  The oldest piece dated back circa October 2006 (USPS registered mail reciept).

What’s in your wallet?

This is sweet! Though I don’t know how it would fair on the choppy Hudson River with a strong current. Video commentary is not in English but you’ll get the drift.

I saw this post on Collide about “Christian Thieves” which focused on the design of this t-shirt titled “Revelations”.  It’s such a cool shirt I just had to  buy  it. Sweet…

This is worth watching as it might change your perspective on life.

This is AMAZING… This walkway was built between 1901 and 1905 and hasn’t been touched since.. Many parts of it are completely missing leaving only some steel supports.  Watch as the guy recording this strolls along it using no safety harness.  He passes people along the way and simply balances on the beams.  Amazing…

Is Apple inventing new resolutions now? Saw this last night and was like huh, 1280? Note that the actual trailer is in 1080P per this page, the designer of this graphic must have had some private ambitions.

This commercial alone almost makes me want to dump my Canon 40D and buy a Sony! Ok, so I’d never do that but the commercial is cool none-the-less. Thanks motionhouse for the heads up.

Julia Roy posted an entry a couple weeks ago and it got me thinking…  It’s hard to believe that only a few years ago we were in high school and the world was technologically archaic compared with 2008 (sadly I still think 15 years is a few).  Scary almost… If we’ve went from word processors to online apps, from snail-mail to email, pagers to SMS and Atari to 360 in less than 20 years! So what will the next 20 hold?

Now having a three year old son and another one on the way I can’t help but wonder what changes they’ll see from their youth to adult-hood.  For us it was finding pay phones to using cell phones.  What will the evolution of communication/technology hold as they mature?  Will they’ll be saying “remember when we used to use cell phones back in the day!” Maybe a cell phone isn’t the best example as I’m sure they’ll be around ,but they’ll probably be as powerful as our current desktop screamers (or better).  You get the idea..  The way technology is progressing it’s hard to comprehend what life will be like when my boys are 18.  The trick will be to keep everything in perspective as gadgets continue to make our lives easy and fun!

You can always take it a step further… What’s God’s take on all of this? Would Jesus carry an iPhone or a Blackberry? Would he use Technology to advance the Gospel? Just thinking.
