Helvetica

February 8, 2008

I watched Helvetica the other day, at the recommendation of my good friend Adam. It’s a documentary about the typeface, Helvetica - one that is familiar to all computer users (Mac & PC) and everyone else in the world. Helvetica has always been a font I’ve avoided using because it looks so boring. However, it [...]

Andy Konigsmark Advances to Top 8 in American Gladiators

January 15, 2008

In case you didn’t watch American Gladiators last night, but my buddy Andy Konigsmark kicked ass last night and advanced on to the Top 8. He was behind in points until the Eliminator, which he got the fastest male time for yet (2:04) and beat his opponent, even though his opponent had a 4 second [...]

Not your average PC(USA) Youth Minister

January 8, 2008

I first met Andy Konigsmark when he was the newly-hired youth pastor at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood (yes, that’s really the church’s name) in Sun Valley, ID. We collaborated on a Presbytery youth event called Hyperthermia, and got to know each other then. He came up to Whitworth University with me and [...]

The Golden Compass and Pullman’s “His Dark Materials”

December 4, 2007

This past summer, Sarah and I listened to Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” fantasy trilogy on CDs. It was probably the best book-on-CD I’ve ever listened to partly because it had a full cast acting out all the parts, but mostly because Pullman’s imagination is just amazing. Pullman’s first book in the trilogy, The Golden [...]

Some of you may have seen this already, but if you haven’t, watch a funny clip about Hank trying to find a new church on “King of the Hill.”

The Watchmen: A Review

September 7, 2007

I was never into comics growing up, but in the past few years, I’ve become quite the fan of graphic novels. The first I read was Blankets by Craig Thompson (written about here and here). It was a very good book. The second I read was the Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel, Maus. This 2-volume [...]

So You Think You Can Dance?

June 21, 2007

So it’s back. So You Think You Can Dance? It’s back - and Sarah and I are a few weeks late but we’re excited for all of the amazing dances and the judge’s feedback. Of course, I can’t handle Mary Murphy, but I’ll try and handle her. We don’t really get into American Idol, but [...]

Spiderman 3: Go Big or Go Home

May 4, 2007

A group of us ventured out last evening for the midnight showing of Spiderman 3. We went to the IMAX Theater at the Mall of Georgia and had a very fun evening. While we left the theater at 2.30am, giving the movie a “B”-rating, as is true with many of these types of events, it [...]

I’m sorry Jack…

May 1, 2007

Josh already beat me to it, but I had to say it too (and I know Zach is going to really enjoy this post).
Jack Bauer - you are dead to me.
Seriously, last night’s episode was b-o-r-i-n-g. Each progression was predictable and just plain boring. Perhaps it’s the fact that you can’t do this type of [...]

LOST Recap

March 22, 2007

LOST is absolutely amazing. This would be the first recap that I’ve ever done, but it seems each week I just get more and more into this show. I love reading people’s thoughts, like Josh’s recaps, and stuff from The Lost Blog.
The Man from Tallahssee was one of the best LOST episodes yet. The relationships [...]
