Christmas Commercialized
Wednesday, November 30th, 2005(Rant warning.)
The only problem with the world taking Christ out of Christmas comes in when you follow the “mas” rather than the Christ.
Target (and Wal Mart, and Coca Cola, and any other major corporation out there) switching from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays! Is only bad if you switch as well.
Taking the toys and […]
Air Guitarist’s Rock Dreams Come True
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005Some of you know that the reason I learned to play guitar was because I am an avid air guitarist, which caused no end of frustration to my girlfriend (now wife) back in the day. “You don’t know how to play guitar! Stop that air guitaring, it’s annoying!”
Well, I wasn’t about to give […]
Which Theologian Are You?
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005Sorta interesting… I think it points out my influences more than anything. Not sure the statement is entirely accurate to what I hold as most important, but it is interesting nonetheless.
Are these quizzes getting annoying yet? They seem to be pretty popular :)
You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of […]
SELL OUT with me oh yeah…
Monday, November 28th, 2005Well, I’ve done it. I put some google ads on this site. Not sure that it will actually do any good, but who knows. Please let me know if I get too annoying? Thanks :)
love, the management.
Apologies to PlanetRock and its users
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005Sorry for puking all over Planet Rock with some regurgitated content.
The reason it happened is because I am building Planet MattAndNancy. “Like Planet Rock, only bigger”. Basically it contains all of the PlanetRock feeds, and then some. The idea is that it will have more content, updated more frequently.
I am not doing […]

Target bans “Merry Christmas” from it’s stores, AFA calls for a ban
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005The American Family Association has started a petition calling for a boycott of Target this year. Why?
Because they are banning the words “Merry Christmas” from their stores.
Imagine that: a capitalistic, secular, corporation wanting to cater to a larger audience, not wanting to alientate other religions (including Islam, the fastest growning religion in the world.)
I […]
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a Great Movie!
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005Nancy and I went to the library last night and picked up a few DVDs. I decided that over the holiday I could splurge a little and watch a few movies I’ve been meaning to see, and since they were free, what the heck? The first on my list? Sky Captain and […]
RSS Still Not Very Simple?
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005How many of you are reading this in an RSS aggregator of some sort? Come on, raise your hands. Yah, me to. But that’s cause we’re all geeks, right? I’m willing to wager that you have a blog with an RSS feed as well, right? I thought so.
I [...]
I KNEW it!
Saturday, November 19th, 2005Neo plus Jack Sparrow and Batman. What do you get?? MATTMAN!!!
You scored as Neo, the "One". Neo is the computer hacker-turned-Messiah of the Matrix. He leads a small group of human rebels against the technology that controls them. Neo doubts his ability to lead but doesn’t want to disappoint his friends. His goal […]
The Godbit Project
Thursday, November 17th, 2005I was recently pointed to the Godbit project by my Bloglines notifier (;-)). I’m glad I went. Created by Nathan Smith of SonSpring (a part of the 9rules network)**. Godbit has a mission that I can get on board with heart and soul:
The purpose of this site is to help the Church [...]
God Tries to Make Matt Laugh on the Way to Work
Thursday, November 17th, 2005I’ve always said that driving, for me, is like that purple dye that dentist puts on your teeth to show where you have plaque buildup, but for all my character faults instead of plaque.
Some of the biggest things that show up when driving is lack of patience and grace, and judgementalism.
So when, on my way […]
David Crowder*Band Concert TONITE
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005I am so excited, you have no idea. I’m having a hard time concentrating at work today.
I think I’m on the brink of something large maybe like the breaking of the dawn or maybe like a match being lit or the sinking of a ship letting go gives a better grip
Dear Jesus
Monday, November 14th, 2005When the music fades, all is stripped away and I simply come longing just to bring something that’s of worth, that will bless your heart. I’ll bring you more than a song, for a song (in itself) is not what you have required. You search much deeper within through the way things appear. […]
Pat Blair’s Prodigious Podcast, Patent Pending.
Monday, November 14th, 2005In case you haven’t seen it yet, Pat has started a podcast. I hope he keeps it up. Not that he has anything particularly useful to say, but man, he has a beautiful voice.
Video Blog 3: ELG Day 2
Wednesday, November 9th, 2005Probably the most boring one yet :) Didn’t have much of a chance to record video througout today as we were busy drinking from the fire hose. So we just recapped some of the highlights we took from the evening.

Video Blog 2: ELG Day 1
Tuesday, November 8th, 2005Here is a summary of our day so far. Paul says I am spending too much time on this. Could be :), but it’s fun.
Also, because I’m a jerk, you need to upgrade to Flash Player 8 to see the video and not just hear the audio. :) It’ll only take […]
