Pink Dome gives a review of The Da Vinci Code.
He said the movie was more like taking a vacation through Europe, rather than a faith shaking mystery-novel-cum-movie.
The movie did not shake my faith, did not throw me into a crisis, did not make me re-think my beliefs or cause me to start believing in conspiracies. That’s why it’s called “faith” retards.
I’ll let you read the last bit of his review on his site.
“I’ve got a fever for dewberry”
Eric’s getting some love from the AP with his dewberry story he wrote last week – which is very funny because some local folks tried to rip on our paper because they said we only covered things like picking berries.
Anyways, its a great story… be sure to read and enjoy.
Michael has posted a picture that someone in his church drew of him. I would guess it was a child, but I can’t be certain.
It’s interesting though to think of how others view us.
What distinguishing features would someone (especially a child) remember or draw of us.
Would they draw us in a tie, or with sunglasses on?
Would they draw us with a Bible in our hand?
Or maybe they’d draw us handing out candy, offering a helping hand or yelling at the driver that just cut us off on I-35.
How do others see us? And is it the same as how we see ourselves?
And what would we change if we saw how others saw us?
I love Creative Commons and the idea of people sharing their creative works.
And per my last post, I did some more digging and found that http://starfrosch.ch has a great collection of CC music to listen to, use and enjoy. Jazz, Rock, Ambient, Drum and Bass and more. Check it out…
What’s starfrosch? Starfrosch is a user driven music blog with high-traffic podcasts. At starfrosch, users submit Creative Commons music or videos. Yet a moderator team keeps care of the quality.
I caught Andrew’s suggestions on the “40” illustrations by Simon Smith today.
I thought the music selection of Jap-Jap’s “Blue Shimmery Fall” was great, so I put a video together in Windows Movie Maker – yes that’s right Thomas, you can do video with Windows XP :-).
Anyways, I thought it made for a great story and backing track.
I’d like to try it with Third Day’s “King of Glory” as well – but that will have to come at a later time, as I only have it on my Mp3 player and not on my Lappy 486.
What do you think? Any other musical suggestions?
Late breaking news:
Conan will re-air his episode dedicated entirely to U2 tonight on the NBC tonight. The show was filmed back in October and featured several songs from the band as well as an interview and Bono and Edge helping with “In the Year 2000.”
Also, Bono’s trip to Africa is expected to be featured tomorrow night on the NBC Nightly News.
