Alternative Worship

Andrew Jones writes:

"A postmodern worship service probably is more like a stack of pancakes than a string of pearls. Postmodern minds get bored with a single, progressive medium. The problem is not that their attention span is short but that it is broad. It responds best when challenged with multitasking.Ask the question, 'What other media could we run simultaneously that would enhance the worship experience?' The various combinations of juxtaposed media will speak volumes. Random connections will arise organically and prophetically.

Sort of stumbled across this artice off of Jones' main site it's worth the read... Always love to see (read) what others are doing.... different.

This one again.

So here I am again.

"wow, haven't posted in a long time"

... 'course no one has complained, so I guess no one cares.

back to life.

Shoot, there goes my plan.

It seems that if you were counting on a tinfoil hat to protect you from little green men or big brother you are in trouble.

"A study at MIT has found that aluminum foil headwear ("Among a fringe community of paranoids..the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals") actually amplifies certain frequency bands allocated to the US government, as well as a mobile phone range, and is largely ineffective through the rest of the radio spectrum. But we can we trust the study, or are They controlling the researchers?"

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Oh and please don't start confusing me with this guy

edit: a follow-up sent by my co-worker Dieter:

FYI again:

The invasive radio signals are a secondary concern. More importantly, the AFDB (Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie) can shield against anti-psychotronic carriers.


We should also consider shielding our workspaces; see attached.

.... umm, yeah

You know you have a good job when you spend time setting up for a picture and mailing to all your sales reps. Have you seen that Monster.ca comercial about a good boss. Mine laughed when he saw this picture.
If you want the whole story you'll have to ask me.... but it was fun.

Because it's a post, post, post....

So my friends and family managed to surprise me at The Gig last night. Sharon Williams was able to pull off what I had said the group of friends would not be able to do.
I'll give you the history. We have thrown a few surprise birthday partys for people in the past and well, lets just say it was sloppy. So, I had said they would never be able to throw one for me.
So I had planned that Dad, Mom, Terry and Kris would come down for supper at 5:00. I had a suspision that something was up. Now, I should say that they did get me to The Gig with out me thinking that the party was there.... anyway there were a few things. See Rob is a hugh birthday guy and has rescued me from crappy bithday planns before. He had taken a "well if we can get togther after you parents leave" sort of nonchalant, whatever happens, happens. Not very Rob but not a totally give away.

But it dosen't really matter - the fact is I'm really glad that everyone showed up. And I'm glad that they worked so hard. I would post some pictures - but my camera didn't work. Dad sent me one, maybe I can get a few more
