movie.jpgDuring my final hours in Indianapolis this evening, Kory, Magee and I took in a showing of Resident Evil 3 without much consideration, thought, or even good reason. I’m pretty sure “let’s go see a movie so we don’t have to communicate” was mentioned at least once. That phrase was quickly met by my “I would never take Jess to a ‘zombie flick'”, and we were quickly driving towards the theater.

Two-hours, numerous zombie-kills, some intense action sequences, evil/killer crows, and a ridiculous plot-later we were finished and quickly rushed to the comfort of daylight.

The conversation over our over-priced Chinese buffet plates was quite humorous as you can imagine.

Bottom line – don’t waste your money – it wasn’t even as fun watching the movie as it was watching my buds play this game on PlayStation back in college!

Introducing, the LAZIEST mother in the world!

bh.jpgIf you are in youth ministry and you are currently NOT using any sort of “youth tracking software” to keep track of your students’ and leader information, let me suggest to you the powerfully wonderful Blockhead Management!

Currently still in its “beta” release, Blockhead serves ME very well – and if you know me and my “tendencies”, you know this is somewhat or a miracle. There are still some “bugs” they are working out and it’s not officially publicly released yet, but you can sign up right now and use the software for FREE FOREVER. The post-beta release will be ads-based and that is how they will pay for their costs – in my opinion, this is COMPLETELY worth it.

I have entered all of my students’ information into this web-accessible database and given my leaders access to the same information I have – it’s an incredible time-saver!

Since it’s still in “beta”, if you sign up you will have to enter a credit card # to register to use the service though there will be no charge. I look forward to the “public release” and more bells and whistles as they become available.

Check it out here – www.blockheadmanagement.com

The reason I’m posting about Blockhead right now is because I just talked my friend youth-pastor sitting next to me to registering right now (while we’re supposed to be paying attention to something else!)

Thanks, Karen!

Absolute genius!

Like consumers need another reason to drink Coca Cola products!

Nonetheless, the world’s largest soft drink manufacturer has created a new form of keeping their bottles of fizz ice-cold by packing new technology into each bottle, so when the cap is twisted off, a mechanism inside will create ice made from the drink itself.
