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 […]
“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 […]
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??
Need to brush up on your music theory?
Tuesday, September 20th, 2005While hunting for some stuff for my piano students, I came across Ricci Adams’ www.musictheory.net. It’s FREE, and is pretty user-friendly for being FREE. It has some great opportunities for young students to practice naming notes, as well as some trickier stuff like hearing intervals for you pros. How are you all […]

“Seeing” in Amsterdam
Monday, August 1st, 2005A rather intense post by one of our brothers in the Amerstam Amsterdam Church.
Read: “Seeing” by Todd Watkins
Never before have I seen the stark contrast of good and evil as I have seen in Amsterdam. Never have I more strongly felt the presence of evil and sickness as I have here. Never before have […]
Bible Geek.
Monday, July 25th, 2005Yessir, that’s me. “Why?” You ask. Not because I am a great scholar, or because I have large chunks committed to memory (something I really need to work on…)
But because I am excited about the ESV’s new reverse interlinear edition that is coming out soon.
waaay cool.
HOLY CARP!

No, seriously: It was roughly the size of a sixth-grader. ~The Associated Press
ESV Bible Web Site
Monday, May 16th, 2005The ESV Bible (my bible of choice) has it’s own Web site.
It’s not a reference site (that is found here), it is simply a (really good) Web site about the bible, its translation methods, etc. It even has a blog with up to date news on what is happening with that translation.
How cool is […]
Recently found in a Wendy’s menu item…
Monday, May 16th, 2005A SINK STRAINER!!!

I think this is even weirder than the whole finger incident.
Cars that can’t crash…

“Microsoft is working with Ford Motor Co towards car that can’t crash. The future of cars according to Gates will involve high-definition screens, speech recognition technology, cameras, digital calendars and navigation equipment with directions and road conditions.”
No… I’m not going to say it… It’d be too easy to […]

Charlie the Hampster Ministry
Thursday, April 28th, 2005I’m thinking of starting a “Mysterious Ways” category.
Every now and then I run across a “ministry site” of some sort or another that is so “mysterious” to me that I have no idea how it could possibly be effective. But, that tends to earn me a letter from the president of the company that […]
EXPLODING TOADS
Wednesday, April 27th, 2005THE END IS NEAR!!!
Exploding Toads
In Hamburg Germany, for the last week, toads have been crawling out of a pond, acting fairly normally, THEN INFLATING AND EXPLODING, with a splash radius of 1 meter.
THAT is WEIRD! I want to find good videos or pictures, but haven’t been able to.
Scientists haven’t figured out why it is […]
iPod One
Wednesday, April 13th, 2005CNN article on President Bush’s iPod
It goes through and implies hypocrisy of Bush for his musical selections, and then quotes an expert who says that one shouldn’t psychoanalyze the President based on what’s in his iPod.
How do they even KNOW what’s in his iPod???

Sure, it throws 40 validation errors. But, it is definitely a humongous move in the right direction.
I should note that GCA’s site got a […]
Defeating evolution in the classroom…
Thursday, March 24th, 2005If only it were this easy….
Also, how the heck did soft tissue remain for the last 70 million years while embedded in sandstone…??? Granted I am not a biologist, this may be fairly common, but… oh wait, they’ve never seen it before.
Pearls Before Swine, still brilliant
