Welcome to SSL 3.0.
I’ve been playing around with Websites and WordPress themes for several weeks now and thought I’d go ahead and give my own site an Extreme Web Makeover. Still getting used to it. Not sure if I’m a huge fan yet – but we’ll see how it goes.
Let me know what you think.
There’s still a couple other things I’d like to try and implement this year but it probably won’t be right away.
Month: January 2008
Heads up
Just an FYI.
Stranger in a Strange Land is getting a massage today.
You may see some funny things if you visit the site throughout the day. We hope to be back refreshed and better than ever by the end of the day. Thanks for your patience.
Everything Must Change
Just finished reading the first section (or 6 chapters I think) of Everything Must Change.
Right up my alley. Great stuff.
We’re reading it as part of Headphonaught’s Book Club.
Looking forward to the discussion and reading more.
Here’s a quote that really stuck out to me:
A message purporting to be the best news in the world should be doing better than this.
If we as Christians have the greatest message ever – which I believe we do – shouldn’t we make that a little more believable than just telling people how they can have a good afterlife? Shouldn’t we also be concerned about making our current life better and bringing about the Kingdom of God here on earth – now?
U2-3D
Yessssss…..
Shot during U2’s visit to South America on the Vertigo Tour, the film is directed by Catherine Owens, with additional direction from Mark Pellington. Owens, longtime collaborator with U2 on live-show visuals, says ‘this was the ultimate challenge in presenting U2’. The results, she predicts, will startle audiences.
‘There is no comparison with a traditional concert film seen in 2D. One minute you are on stage with the band and the next you are at the back of the stadium. ‘The best way I can describe it for the viewer,’ she adds, ‘Is that it’s like being on the wings of a bird flying around the concert stadium – it’s really something else.’
The 3D shoot took place over seven shows in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina in February last year and the film is being produced by 3ality Digital in Los Angeles, edited by Olivier Wicki with music produced by Carl Glanville, who has a long list of U2 production credits. Director of 3D photography was Peter Anderson and the Director of photography was Tom Krueger.

Does our waste say something about our view of God?
December 31st 2007: Canterbury: In his annual televised New Year Message the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams reflects on how a ‘disposable’ attitude to living can affect other areas of life and that ‘God does not do waste’. Filmed in Canterbury Cathedral and at a nearby recycling centre.
