VIFL Lip Dub 2 - Shadow Stabbing

Shadow Stabbing like a Clown from randy and Vimeo.

Or… me making a complete fool of myself.

Update:
Jon - thanks for suggesting Vimeo. I cannot speak highly enough about the site. It incorporates everything I could want in a video sharing site. everything about it is just so slick and easy.

Thanks jon, it was fun.

Old Skool Get together/BBQ/Chill

So, today I was on a mission to get some things in order for SSL certificates for an original Exus Design client. My journey took me like 6 hours in which I contacted jimmah, ryan, james dill, and josh higginbotham, not to mention the countless other technical assistance folks.

Pretty hilarious actually, i had to reactivate josh’s email address from 2002 to get the login information for a privacy block on the domain. it had frog in there for the contact information and josh as the billing info.

Anyway…so, talking to josh - he suggested a get together for all the old school/exus pards…i suggested late september cuz rach and i will be in town. at the very least, it’d be just a couple, which would be fine….but, any thoughts?

had a scanner accident at work today

Scanner Accident

The Vifl Lip Dub

Lip dubbing is all the craze.
I’m setting forth a commission for Vifl Lib Dubz. Anyone who is able ought to do one. I’ll be the first!
It’s pretty self-explanatory, just watch the video.

xkcd

I can’t remember if I’ve ever espoused the greatness of xkcd.com to any of you before, but I feel the urge to share something I love (as I often do).

xkcd.com is a webcomic that updates (nearly) daily with hand drawn, simple art (yet still potentially beautiful) . Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re off the wall, sometimes they’re poignant, sometimes romantic and sometimes they’re just brilliantly simple. Alot of the jokes on there are geek jokes so some of you may not get them (some of them are geek jokes even I don’t get), but the writer of the comic every once in awhile puts up a comic that is just a brilliant gem. Something with utter brilliance behind it put forth in simple words.

It’s most often about surreal humor and I just utterly love it.

Some of my other favorites:

sorry…I can’t leave my loves to myself.

The Vifl Summer CD 2007 [UPDATED]

EDIT: Update to songlist. This time, no repeats. Everything is updated.

It’s done, boys. Below is the tracklisting.

01. Spoon - The Underdog
02. Ben Folds - There’s Always Someone Cooler Than You
03. Wilco - Summer Teeth
04. G. Love and the Special Sauce - Willow Tree
05. Derek Webb - I Wanna Marry You All Over Again
06. Lakes - White Flag
07. Feist - I Feel It All
08. Gasoline Heart - All the Way
09. Youth Group - Forever Young
10. Josh Ritter - Monster Ballads
11. Rocky Votolato - White Daisy Passing
12. Wilco - Pot Kettle Black
13. Death Cab For Cutie - Summer Skin
14. Mindy Smith - Tennessee

The iMix version (which you can download here) of it in iTunes is missing track 10 and is quite a bit more expensive, but I figured I’d make it an option anyways. You can also use it to preview the CD. Eh? Eh?

I’m just asking for $1.50 if you want a copy, which will just cover material and shipping costs. You can do it all through Paypal, for easy’s sakes.


speaking of roen

my neighbors upstairs just had their baby last week….named him koen.

Another semester…

…is upon us. Or at least me. But I’m only taking one class. So not really.
Drew, is Roen starting school yet? If he’s not, then he should be. With all the medical advancements, there’s really no reason he shouldn’t be in junior high by age 4.

I’m working on a Vifl Summer CD. Everyone email me or addresses. Mailing.

kickin’ back in my vifl float shirt

it’s been washed and dried 3 times no with almost no color-fade. i’m pretty impressed. how are the other shirts holding up?

I am going to be in town

Hey guys,
Wow it has been a while since I wrote on here. Things have been crazy for me over the last months. Well I will be in MO for a week at the end of this month. I would love to get together with any of you guys. Let me know if you are available from the 25th of this month to the 3rd of Sept. I am going to meeting with a lot of people during this time. I am actually going to be at the Filla’s on Thursday the 30th and you all are invited. The next year for me is going to be very busy because I am going to be one of the leaders in the Discipleship Training School that we run out of here. That is going to be taking up a lot of my time and right after Christmas I will be out of the country for two months. I love what I do! Well the point of this is to let you all know that I am going to be in the Washington area and I want to see as many of you as I can. Let me know what’s good for you.

This site is sort of like a John Cougar Mellencamp song.
