Mike's wedding

I spent all of last week in Indiana for my brother's wedding. Here's a short video I made with wedding day highlights.

No More E3?

This comes as quite a shock. I don't think anything official has been announced so we'll see what happens. I found this story thanks to Reddit, referred to me by David.

The Sword and the Cross

There's an excellent article in the New York Times about a conservative evangelical preacher who denounces the church's ties to Republican politics. The man has some great things to say:

"When the church wins the culture wars, it inevitably loses," Mr. Boyd preached. "When it conquers the world, it becomes the world. When you put your trust in the sword, you lose the cross."

"America wasn’t founded as a theocracy," he said. "America was founded by people trying to escape theocracies. Never in history have we had a Christian theocracy where it wasn’t bloody and barbaric. That’s why our Constitution wisely put in a separation of church and state.

"I am sorry to tell you," he continued, "that America is not the light of the world and the hope of the world. The light of the world and the hope of the world is Jesus Christ."

Video of the Day

A guy named Mattt Potter made this montage of great movie clips after he watched Clerks 2 because it really touched him. Regardless of how you feel about Clerks 2, Kevin Smith, or anything else for that matter, this is probably one of the best montages of great movie clips I've ever seen. It's set to Sia's "Breathe Me," which is one of my favorite songs pretty much ever. It would put those montages they put together for the Oscars to shame. It's 50 megs of pure goodness. This pretty much sums up why I love movies and why you should too.
