I don’t often cross-post items from one of my blogs to another, but I wanted to cross-post this one.

Most followers of this blog know that my wife and I work full-time with Campus Crusade for Christ in Orlando. I’m an Internet Strategist and she is a Visual Communicator.

This year has been different for us.

Different can be fun and meaningful.
Different can also be hard.
Different can be exciting.
Different is challenging.

I invite you to stop by our ministry site and consider engaging.

If I didn’t have so many carpeted floors, I’d actually consider building one of these.

Yippie! The Hurricane Season of ‘06 is over and it felt like it never really happened. That’s music to my ears! In fact, this year no hurricane made US landfall this year.

So pop the corks and enjoy your post-hurricane celebrations.

I’ve been playing around with AddThis.com and thought I’d try it out here. It’s my attempt to keep a clean sidebar while allowing you to subscribe or bookmark this site using the web tools you like to use.

Just click on one of these and look for something familiar:

20th Century Fox Fanfare, played on the hands (manualism) - Google Video

Have you been watching the NBC show Heroes?

Wow! Great show. I didn’t think I’d get into it as much as I have. We’re only 10 episodes into it and it’s been great. It’s a serialized sci-fi drama I suppose that is a little comic bookish (like X-Men).

Don’t let that scare you off if you’re not into sci-fi or comic books. Wednesday night you have a chance to catch up on the first 6 episodes on the Sci-Fi channel. Check your local listings.

Or see Heroes (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Great show.

Man I love this new commercial from JCPenney. The song is a mashup, apparently of Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters “Here Comes Santa Claus” with Fatboy Slim’s “Wonderful Night”. I really want to find this mp3 or higher quality recording of it. Know where I can find it?

Here’s the commercial:

YouTube - JCPenney 2006 TV commercial “Santa Claus”

UPDATE: Mashuptown.com found the MP3.

Seriously, don’t mix them. After two good friends in South Carolina placed a friendly $20 wager on the outcome of the Clemson-Carolina game (and drinking beer all day), the winner of the bet shot and killed his friend.

It’s ridiculously sad.

The animation on the left probably looks all too familiar to you, doesn’t it? It’s probably so familiar that the animation on the right doesn’t even look possible.

Is it possible to obtain a reasonable traffic flow? Yes, there is a solution to merging.

Traffic jams on highways are often triggered where two lanes must merge into one. Lanes of cars cannot merge if there are no large gaps between cars. Therefore, drivers who create large gaps between cars will ease this type of traffic jam.

So do your part! I’m tired of dealing with my own drive-by anger management practice.

Nope. I wouldn’t have guessed it either.

Go Wake!

Well, I’m trying out a new look. Bear with me. Feel free to feed back…

I haven’t made many changes to the original theme yet.

It’s a work in progress.
