While looking for some new worship songs to do at church, I came across this priceless video. Supposedly it is from the 70’s, but I ain’t buying it…
Sonseed, Jesus is My Friend

I actually use Wikipedia quite a bit for random tidbits of information, but this is a beautiful prank:

My favorite part is “former players include Jean Claude Van Damme…”

Exxon would not even need to drill, methane is so abundant that it even rains with the hydrocarbons.

Only a million year supply of methane on the dreary moon. Hopefully, by then we would have fuel cells or some other type of renewable clean energy.

So I got a new debit card and called to activate it this morning. It asked me to enter my 16 digit account number followed by the pound sign, then asked for my four digit security code followed by the pound sign.
Why is it that these automated phone systems are not smart enough to know that I have entered my 16 digits? Why must we still use the pound sign to tell the system that we are ready for the next step? The new systems that work with your voice instead of typing in the numbers obviously don’t need the pound sign (Can you imaging saying “pound” after telling them your account number?). Computers should be smarter than this.
There’s another company that annoys me with their phone system. I won’t say the name of the company, but let’s just say that I don’t find the system very Comcastic!. When you call in they ask for your phone number. After that, they typically will ask you to press 1 if you are a customer. First off, just ask if I’m calling from where my service is located, that’s what caller ID is for. Second, if I give you my number, can’t you check to see if I’m a customer!? Third, when I eventually talk to someone, they almost ALWAYS ask for my phone number again. What’s the point?
Tangently, I like the following clip from Bill Cosby on driving. Pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC9Z5XU1NjY

Check out this video of bears scratching their itches on trees. My favorite fact was when they said the bears sometimes will do this for over an hour.
You’ll have to wait through a 30 second advertisement, but it’s worth it.

Our softball team won again today by a large margin, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re asked for drug testing soon.
After the game, Micah and I were playing with a kids’ plastic golf club and a small ball. After a little bit I used the club as a bat and hit the ball (I know, coordination!). So Micah (who is 20 months) takes the ball and the club, and tries his best to immitate me. He would slam the ball and ‘bat’ together and in the same motion kinda throw them forward. It was way cool, I’ll try to get some pictures from nana soon.

With Cheri off to the indoors of a baby shower, Micah and I trekked to the grand Titlow beach. A better name for it would be the land next to the water, since it is really not a beach.
Micah and I spent at least 30 minutes throwing rocks in the water. He was so in to it, he completely ignored the train rumbling by us.

In case you did not hear, I got a new electric guitar for my birthday. I promptly got a POD XT Live (Thanks Will for your help), and hooked it all up to my old acoustic amp (next thing to purchase if I ever have money).
I’ve always had a hard time trying to learn things like lead guitar, I just don’t know where to start. So I figure I should try to play some songs I like that have more rhythm than lead. I was playing with some songs on iTunes and came across “Let God Arise” by Chris Tomlin, the live version is pretty rocking. After wasting time looking for tabs that can be helpful (they all seemed to be for acoustic with capos), I finally pulled up youtube. I found a sweet blog with a short video (which are always helpful for me) along with some good tab.
Sites like this will definitely keep me motivated to keep up my new hobby.

I am finally making a presense in this online community thing. As an old school irc chatter, it’s taken me a while to get motivated into “Web 2.0″. Well world, I’ve arrived!! We can all thank my beautiful wife.
I’ve also started my own business blog (most of you will be utterly bored), and finally got our business on the web.
So to my tech friends (ie. Nate) I give a heartily “Hello World.” To all the rest, I apologize in advance…
