Huge Holes… Kinda Scary… Even Online

These are cool. And kinda scary. I just keep imagining myself being sucked into that big huge hole at the dam. Gives me the willies.
Crazy Big Holes

Sin and Perception

I dunno if you’ve heard about this, but there’s a Navy barracks that, when viewed from the air, looks like a swastika. (In case you can’t tell from the picture!)
This is interesting. There’s gotta be some good illustration about sin here. I haven’t time to flesh this out, but there’s something about the idea that [...]

Not that anyone cares…

… but my email inbox has been down to zero for the last 4 weeks straight. This is on par with the miraculous, people. We’re talking down to zero from 350 emails. Granted, half of those were informational in nature and were just things I wanted to log or file for future use (illustrations, resources, [...]

HSUP trash can found in Jonesborough

This is awesome. I love taking pictures of mess-ups like these. I found this at an ice cream shop in nearby Jonesborough. Picture quality is less than awesome ’cause I took it with my cell phone.

I just wonder what was going on in the mind of the person who installed this trash can door. [...]

The Male College Dorm: A Hotbed of (Usually Innocent & Funny) Creativity

A Carnegie-Mellon freshman student rigged a little device for unlocking the door when the keys are nowhere to be found (a common male dorm problem. I know, I’ve got 2 years of Residence Life experience at 2 different colleges.) Here’s the YouTube video:

Y’know, depending on where you went to college, the [...]

Cool/Scary/Telling Video

Found this cool video thanks to BoingBoing.net. It’s about the “Children of God” cult that grew out of the Jesus People Movement. These were the folks who engaged in an evangelistic tool called “flirty fishing.” Read all about it on Wikipedia. (I love Wikipedia and use it daily to learn cool stuff. And don’t worry, [...]

Truth in Advertising?

This is funny. I found this on BoingBoing.net, which has a whole ton of funny, weird, interesting things. They’re sometimes a little raw, but almost always interesting. Following the picture is the text from this post on BoingBoing.

“A sneaky flower dealer near Sunset and Vermont in Los Angeles has a sign on the sidewalk that [...]

13-year-old Fashion Model?

This is crap. I think it’s outrageous and stupid. She’s a kid, for goodness’ sake. A kid. Apparently she just turned 13, so it’s okay. I think it’s exploitation and if it were most other industries, it’d be called “child labor” and would be illegal. So, what’s next, allowing underage girls to model lingerie? Here [...]

Harvard Hires Humanist… Chaplain?

Al Mohler has a good article about it called “Gen-X Humanism for the Passionately Confused? – A Chaplain for Unbelief at Harvard”. Here are a couple good thoughts from the end Mohler’s article:
Even in attempting a humanist and non-supernatural funeral service, Epstein draws upon the language of the Christian tradition.
Joseph Hoffman may call this “Gen-X [...]

Am Offline for A Couple Days

BTW, grammarians out there (i.e., my parents and parents-in-law), am I indeed supposed to capitalize the A in this title? Something tells me I do. Moving on…  (“Yes, please, Scott.”)
I’m out of town for a couple days (to Chicago) and will not be blogging until the beginning of next week. (“Oh man! I can hardly [...]
