the stuff in my head

With all the ‘hip’ labels flying around Bluer, Solomon’s Porch and other emerging churches… I think the new Emergent slogan should be “We put the hip in discipleship!” Passageway had a desktop with that, but they never fully embraced it and it apparently disappeared in their all Flash redesign (don’t even get me started on that!)…

So Solomon’s Porch just moved into their new space and they already have a write up in the Star Tribune. Their new space looks very cozy! Maybe I’ll swing by this Sunday and visit.

Bluer gets a cursory mention as another one of those rebellious, revolutionary churches in the twin cities.

Absolutely beautiful.

When you’re introducing the next generation of television, you want to make an impact – but that doesn’t mean you have to shout at the top of your voice. And it doesn’t mean you have to be predictable. Sending 250,000 multi-coloured ‘superballs’ bouncing down the streets of San Francisco may seem the strangest way to do this, but that’s exactly what Danish director Nicolai Fuglsig did for the BRAVIA commercial in July this year.

Ampulex compressa is a wasp that has evolved to tackle roaches, insert a stinger into their brains and disable their escape reflexes. This lets the wasp use the roach’s antennae to steer the roach to its lair, where it can lay its egg in it.
