I am always looking for the big break of popular media to get a few things right. 1) Christanity (one that is not filled with ignorance and stupid representatives), and 2) a real Geek show that actually knows thier stuff, a show that will make geeks laugh, because the writters are geeks themselves and know what is funny to us.
Well, I have actually foudn the cure to the second option:
The Big Bang Theory…and to prove it to you I will give you all a few links to a few of the episodes best moments…enjoy!
Well, I have been busy trying out living life with different and new ways to think about how to live in this amazing world we live in and lately I have been enjoying Twitter and podcasting.. so let me give yall some links and some info on them all:
——————————————-
1st up is Twitter:
Twitter is like a Blog, but its purpose is for allowing everyone you know to know what you are doing right now. (just like the “status” under your name in Facebook). And so the cool thing is tha tyou can post to Twitter online but also through texting on your cell phone. And then you can follow others and get reports from them of what they are doing or thinking…and you can even get those messages on your phone too. (be sure to get unlimited texting, heh) So if you have been wondering that is the daily post that is showing up here on the blog.. it is a summary of my “Tweets” from the previous day! So, if you would like to sign up for Twitter (try it out) and follow me (and others) there go to my Twitter page and look for the signup link.
BTW: I really believe that Twitter could be an amazing technology for churches and ministries!
—————————————————–
2nd up is The Guys’ Podcast:
The Guy’s Podcast is two of my friends (Brad (in Florida) and Court(here in NKY with me)) and myself that talk about the latest technology news, movie and video game reviews, and anything else that might be Sci-Fi or Fantasy in nature! We are very broad, but we have ton of fun and who knows you may just learn something as well. We try to keep the podcast to less that an hour each week. Please tell you Geek friends and spread the word and ask others to subscribe to our podcast via iTunes.
The Praxis Podcast is me and my friend Kevin Rains interviewing fellow ministers who are doing and being the church in old and new ways. We interview them so that other pastors or people in ministry can be encouraged and challenged to live out their faith individually and in their faith communities. For them to talk about Praxising in the kingdom and helping others to do them same. If you know of people that like the Emergent/Emerging/Organic/Simple Church then this is the podcast for you… and even if you do not know what those thigs are… you might find a new world of living out the Kingdom by listening to these interviews. As always please tell others and have them subscribe via iTunes.
About the church is just me and a new friend Chris just sitting in a room talking about faith and Christianity. It really is a podcast for anyone that might not be a Christian or looking into Christanit, or Christians for that matter, but we are going to get real about our faith, questions, and challenges we have with the bible, the church, Chrtistianity, and Christians. We are both Christains, but goming from different backgroudns and will be encouraging others to send us topics for discussion or questions. Chris has started his own network of podcasts (something like 17 different podcasts!!!) And several of his podcasts are live online shows discussing TV shows like Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, etc… anyway the two podcasts I have done so far (starting with Episode 31) were good, and it looks to be a fun and opinionated show, heh. tune in and point others to check this one out as well. Oh and this is the only podcast I am not doing myself. this is Chris’ show, but he asked me to be a co-host!
Well if yall are bored, and looking for some stuff to listen to on commute drives or just want to listen to my sexy voice, please subscribe via iTunes and thanks for supporting me and these endeavors! Blessings to you all!
Well, I have yet to tell anyone here on my blog, but I have been recording a podcast called, “The Guys’ Podcast”… It is made up of myself(a guy), Brad (a guy in Florida), and Court (a Guy here in northern KY).

Here is a picture of our Christmas tree this year. The Halo helmet I stole form a story in Digg.com, but the gender of the tree was all me…thanks to the help of Tiffany’s favorite store Michael’s! When I saw those balls I knew exactly what I had in mind for them! oh yeah!
==================== Here is the final picture of the aftermath after a game of Munchkin (I think on Tiffany’s Birthday) I love this game, but I never win at it..and I did this time, so here is all my cards and the final 10 level on the dice! Oh man it was a great day!
===============================================
And last but never least is the note that Tiffany was artificially inseminated Friday…so here we go on the second round of trying to make a Baby! I try to make it a fun time when we go, so this time instead of walking into the Dr.’s office with the plain brown paper bag containing my “deposit for the bank of Tiffany” I decided that I would spruce it up a little bit and give it a little Starbucks packaging. I can’t tell you how many people asked me if I brought them Starbucks.. i tried to tell them that they probably did not want what was in the bag, ha ha ha ha…. but come to find out the Dr. loves Starbucks and gave me a high five when he found out what we had done! I made everyone smile, and that is exactly what the Dr. ordered for that day since it is our second round…so here is the pea for you all to please pray for us, and that if this is what god desires for us to do/have…then please pray for us and the possible future baby! Thanks and God bless yall!!!! KUTPs!!!
Probably my most anticipated game second only to Y’s book I and II in my mind is a new game in developement tentatively called, Project Offset.
I LOVE Fantasy books, Movies, and games! The Lord of The Rings is probably the greatest Fantasy books of all time..and I am a purest. no guns or lazes should ever enter these worlds, that is sci-fi and it should stay in sci-fi, but good Fantasy has magical creatures, magic, multiple races (i.e. elves, dwarfs, humans, halflings, etc.. no guns, gun powder, lasers, space ships, light bulbs, etc…) So, needless to say that is why I loved D&D growing up, and loved TLOTR, and loved most RPGs for games, but now that I am enjoying FPS’s (i.e. Halo, BioShock, etc..) I am dreaming for there to be a really good game that is pure Fantasy, and like The lord Of The Rings movies…done right! Well, if any of yall think that sounds good, I have the game for you and it is probably 3-5 years away, heh… nah I just have no idea how long it will be until it comes out..but the code name for the project right now is:
Project Offset…and if you have not seen the videos of it..then you are missing out…so here is what you need to do:
This Video says PS3, but that has not ever been confirmed yet…so it is still up in the air..and this video does not do it justice, being on You Tube…but it will do…anyway..have fun.
And then go tell the world and beg all gaming companies to make this game come to light! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!
Hope your Halloween went well, and I will be sure to upload a few shots of my pumpkins with them glowing from the inside, heh. God bless yall!
Well for those who don;’t know, I love carving pumpkins. It is a form of art, plus it allows me to express my geek in pumpkin form…so I wanted to share with yall what I did this year:
on the left is the power button on the front of every Xbox 360… on the right in the logo for Halo 3 the most popular video game for the Xbox 360.
Now, I just need to find green glow sticks for the Xbox 360 power button, and possibly blue L.E.D.s for the Halo3 one, heh.
Yall have a great night…loving on Children…just like Christ would.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
(photo by B Tal) Well for those of you who don’t know, My parents have been visiting us for a month!!! It has been awesome getting to see them and be with them, and I would not have traded there visit for the world, but it has messed up our schedules a little bit here and there, but it is so worth it. And last week we went with them to Washington D.C., and Tiffany and my Mom had never been there before, so that was an awesome experience too!
(I promise pictures are coming, I just need to find some time)
And, so this weekend I will be traveling to Nashville to attend the EmergingUMC: a Gathering. Gary and I will be speaking, and the entire gathering will provide a bunch of presenters that are doing “Emerging/missional” Kingdom work. Taylor intentionally desired to bring in people who are doing and being the work and not so much those that stay in the ideology realm. So, I am looking forward to getting to know and meet fellow co-servants in the Kingdom and hopefully sharing a little bit about what God is doing in Th3 Waters and I believe in the UMC, and the Kingdom as a whole. I hope to blog a little bit more often while I am down there.
Oh and Did I mention that Halo3 came out and I beat it last night! I did not get to play it at all the week it came out due to the trip, and so Brad (a GREAT FRIEND) decided that he would play it through with me online and let me experience the main game, before I started to get too deep into multiplayer. So anyway… if you are a halo3 fan…be sure to beat it on Legendary, there is a different
Holy cow this game is fun…not the best graphics I have seen on the Xbox 360 (better than Halo 2, but not as good as Gears of War), but I promise you that the fun factor makes up for it… here are a few shots:
