I’m sorry I haven’t posted more. RealLifeTM has become quite hectic with the arrival of Mount St. Ellery so… first things come first.
Tonight I want to wish each of you the best of all possible years in ‘09.
Love those around you like your life depends on it and don’t forget to find the original [...]

Born To Die

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

The baby in this picture is not dead. He was just born into a very tough life.
Another baby arrived on planet Earth some 2000 years ago with a heart-breaking mission—to die for humanity. Literally Jesus was born to die.
On this Christmas morning, take a second and remember that without his death and resurrection, Christ’s [...]

Music Sales Rejuvenated by Rock Band, Guitar Hero
It’s such a no-brainer that the Led Zepplins and U2s of the world should be kicking themselves now.

The Greatest Plastic Guitarist Ever

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I’ve found him! The greatest Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitarist of all time. I’m awed by his immense talent and shamed by his incredible skills. If I could be 50% as good as he is, I’d be content.
Did you notice how he was singing along while playing? I bet he even closed his eyes for some [...]

How I Sold My ActiveRain Profile for $6,750.00
Selling one’s profile is dishonest in my opinion. Funny what someone will publish as true only to say at the bottom it was made up. I guess that’s why he’s a search engine junkie.

Was Christmas Even Necessary?

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

This is for anyone who ever thought the idea of God becoming a man ridiculous. It was originally read on the air by Paul Harvey. Cheers!

The man to whom I’m going to introduce you was not a scrooge, he was a kind decent, mostly good man. Generous to his family, [...]

Best Ever Home Media Room

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

If you came to our house and I showed you our “media room” you wouldn’t be impressed. Don’t get me wrong, we have a wonderful, large TV but the rest of the room is severely lacking.
You might have a very nice media room in your house. I don’t know. You’ve never invited me, but I’ve [...]

Dante’s Inferno Video Game Teaser Trailer

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

This clip doesn’t give us much about the video game but with IP like this, designers should be full to overflowing with level design possibilities.
I’m surprised somebody over at Industrial Light & Magic hasn’t pushed through a concept for a film on this amazing piece of literature—Divine Comedy. [via kotaku]

Blagojevich Has Ties to Obama; Aide Confirms Then Denies

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Does anyone believe anything coming out of the mouth a politician or his people?
President-elect Obama has called on Governor Rod Blagojevich to resign for allegedly trying to trade favors for Obama’s vacant Illinois senate seat. Although Obama says he had no contact with the governor or his office on the matter, in an interview last [...]

Love Revealed in Lifechanging Plane Accident

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Dong-Yun Yoon. Stop for a second and stay that name out loud.
Here’s what happened. The man moved to America four years ago. He and his wife had a 15-month-old daughter and a 2-month-old daughter. His mother-in-law was also visiting from South Korea.
He moved to this new home only one month ago.
In a moment’s time, [...]
