CRT... Plasma... LCD... DLP... and now OLED

Welcome to the Future


How does 1,000,000:1 contrast sound to you? Yikes!

Is this why LCD prices are dropping daily?

I would love to see what Apple can do with this technology. ;)

This is dedicated to all the wives with Gamer husbands

Stay with it... :)

Why do women automatically deduce that because guys love video games they haven't "grown up"? I think the only reason guys wean themselves off of games as they get older is simply the increase in responsibilities (such as kids) and the decrease in free time. That's my 2 cents I guess. :)

CCK Mother's Day Video now online

For those that missed it or for the proud moms out there that have asked, here is the mother's day video we created for our Mother's Day Church Service. We basically just had a dark room and lit up the people. Originally I had another purpose for why I recorded them off center but it just kind of worked out. I had to flip some but I think it worked out pretty good. Getting the audio for that many people to sound even was a challenge too. The music is just piano pieces I put together in Garage Band. The Text effects were created with Motion 2. The only thing I would have liked to add was some B roll of kids holding pictures of their mom's or something to that effect.

I'm still open for Father's Day video ideas if anyone has some. :)

Funny Mother's day Video

I'll be uploading a mother's day video we put together at CCK soon. In the mean time, Check out this funny clip that lifechurch.tv played for their mother's day services.



I didn't think about the comedy approach for mother's day but I'm thinking it'll work great for father's day. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

New Mac Ads!

Why are these ads so darn good!

I think it's because they use comedy. Also as much as they are a total shot at windows they aren't done with ill will. We could learn a lot from these ads.

As Pastor Bob Coy often says... medicine goes down a lot better with a little bit of sugar.

Check out the ads here...

How to Reduce Cell Phone Usage During church

Just use the Force!

We can always follow the example of the Sons of Thunder. :)

Luke 9:54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

Beat up on others as you would like to be beaten up yourself

Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Instead of the Golden Rule we should call it the Golden Gloves Rule.
