A little cleverness can get you a lot of attention these days!
The intarwebz are buzzing the last few days because an artist in the Netherlands got creative with some fire and a stretch of lawn. Helmut Smits burned an 82-centimeter square into some grass to represent the size of one pixel on Google Earth when [...]
I’ve been watching some of The Three Stooges shorts again recently. I know what they say about the gender differences, but all I can say is the male half of that stereotype is correct: I find them absolutely hilarious — especially the ones with Curly. Even after his health deteriorated, the man was priceless as [...]
Mark Driscoll has built a whole church and a national following largely upon being hipper than the rest of his fellow Evangelicals – and also on a healthy dose of John Calvin. I happened to catch his recent appearance on the now-defunct D. L. Hughley Breaks the News on CNN, where Driscoll yukked it up [...]
If you’re making out a list of movies you’re hoping to catch this summer, think about adding one more Oscar-winning director to the list.
Studio Ghibli’s “Ponyo,” a story about a little boy and a goldfish who wishes to become a human, will be getting a US release starting August 14th. The director, Hayao Miyazaki, has [...]
It’s a rare thing when a parody is as effective as this one is.
When the first Watchmen trailer originally premiered last year, I don’t think anyone had this in mind. Some creative geek has crafted what is probably the best parody trailer I’ve ever seen, merging WALL·E with Watchmen in a brilliant way. It’s not [...]
While most farm-dwelling youngsters of the male persuasion spend their time tearing around the great outdoors, I spent a great deal of mine thinking about the next time I’d be able to go to my aunt’s or grandparent’s. They were / are great folk, but I must admit it was their cable television access that [...]
During the heyday of 80s televangelism, it was easy to find people with huge hair and amusing sets praying over piles of requests. A few would let you phone in your request and talk to someone personally, or you could leave your request on their answering machine. Some even set up 1-900 numbers so you [...]
Want to get more out of your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations than a pinch for inappropriately-colored attire or green beer and an evening at the local pub?
For some great reading about the man that Mark Driscoll calls “one of the greatest missionaries who ever lived,” check out the links and resources we’ve dug up. Also, [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let’s Celebrate with some music:
First up, the song that defines the phrase “Hauntingly Beautiful” – Moya Brennan has a voice you’d listen to singing a Taco Bell menu.
Next is the pure joy that is an instrumental jam from Iona. They’re a little Irish, a little English, and all Celtic.
And finally, Remember: [...]
Auralia’s Colors by Jeffrey Overstreet is a book with many familiar elements, but they’re arranged in a way you probably haven’t seen before. From the author’s website:
“When thieves find an abandoned child lying in a monster’s footprint, they have no idea that their wilderness discovery will change the course of history. Cloaked in mystery, Auralia [...]
