Happy Halloween From the Lone Strangers
Monday, October 31st, 2005Thanks to everyone who came out to the show last night. Have a safe night tonight.
New Project: RockWorship.com
Thursday, October 27th, 2005Recently, I have “soft launched” RockWorship.com (and/or GCworship.com).
I have owned RockWorship.com for like four years now, thinking it was a sweet sounding domain name, but never really knowing what to do with it. The idea for this site was born at Faithwalkers last year. I realized that it is a crying shame that […]
Go AM radio
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005Awesome discovery this morning while en route from Des Moines…AM 1190 radio…a great swing station! It’s not all “up tight”, super-fast swing…I just thought it was great. Anyhoo, check it out. Any other sweet AM stations that I should be aware of?
Movie Trailer Remixes
Monday, October 24th, 2005I just found the most hillarious thing (via apollo pony)
Movie trailer remixes that prove that it’s all about scene selection and music. Alternative forms could give you a completely different impression of the movie.
Shining - as a feel good, romanitc comedy, family movie Titanic - as horror/thriller West Side Story - as zombie flick (with a […]
New U2 DVD!
Friday, October 21st, 2005Well, my birthday is just around the corner. What does that mean?
NEW U2 DVD RELEASE!!
U2 Vertigo: Live from Chicago
“Matt Needs” to not play every little blog meme that comes along.
Thursday, October 20th, 2005Okay Amanda, I’ll give it a shot too.
(Google the phrase “[Your name] needs” and see what comes up.)
Here’s what Google thinks I need.
(Slightly editted for content…)
Matt needs spaz Matt needs new liver Matt needs money Matt needs tasks Matt needs a job Matt needs help (ain’t that true) Matt needs to stay awake Matt needs a fine instrument Matt needs to practice […]
Favorite Web Designs: Apple.com
Thursday, October 20th, 2005Apple.com is one of my favorite Web designs. I’m not saying this to be cheesy, or because I am an Apple zealot (even though I am), I just think they have an incredibly clean, simple, beautiful, site that contains a TON of information.
The Apple Online Store is especially impressive. Highlighting many of their [...]
Favorite Web Designs: CSS Zen Garden ?Silent Strength?
Wednesday, October 19th, 2005I have decided to start a new category called “Favorite Web Designs” as a way to bookmark really cool (imho) Web designs that inspire me.
The first entry will be the “Silent Strength” entry on the CSS Zen Garden by Ray Henry at REH3
I love the organic, chaotic, clean order of the design. The softness [...]
World’s smallest record player…
Wednesday, October 12th, 2005Okay, after examining the last two posts, it could be taken that I am complaining. I assure you that I, in fact, am not. I am actually laughing at the irony of it all, and am perfectly content with the situation as it is :). Just in case you were getting concerned.
Apple announces new iMacs, iPods
Wednesday, October 12th, 2005Of course, mere weeks after I purchase one, Apple updates their iMac line… bah.
The salt in the wound is that they now come with iSight and Mighty Mouse STANDARD, both of which I purchased separately.
Musical Madness
Tuesday, October 11th, 2005Why, oh why, must they do this to me. (Spied on Val Air Ballroom’s Web site.)
Two of my favorite bands, back to back, right before, and on, my birthday. What is a guy to do??
Attack of the Killer Q-tips
Tuesday, October 11th, 2005If you haven’t been able to tell by now, Matt and I get a huge kick out of our cat. He is a great source of entertainment for us…and the other night he didn’t let us down. He seems to thoroughly enjoy playing with Q-tips…it seems they are the greatest threat to our […]

Thus Says The Lord
Thursday, October 6th, 2005“Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.”
This sounds so nice and peaceful… until you read what will happen if you decide NOT to walk along the ancient paths…
There really isn’t a middle ground. If you want peace, […]
Psalm 77 - The matt revised standard version
Wednesday, October 5th, 2005I yell out loud at God, and he hears me.
I am beating my head against a wall… I am so tired, so I go to God, but it doesn’t seem to help. I think about God and sigh… I think about anything else, instant depression.
sigh
You won’t let me sleep. What do you want? I don’t know […]
Post 501: Announcing Chidesters.org

If you are comment #1500 I will give you a new copy of Chris Tomlin - Arriving. Great CD.
But the real point of this post was to announce WWW.CHIDESTERS.ORG. Scott is working on […]
