Here's a mock music video I found on Youtube. Apparently, this guy is now a huge internet star. Although, I have to say that 2 Chinese Boys do it better (I'm a big fan of theirs).
(Bunny trail alert!) Although I haven't been able to afford this little luxury, WIRED magazine is one of my favorites since it's all about how technology affects society and vice-versa. So, I haven't been up to speed in that cultural discussion for a while, but I was thinking about some of the new technologies and how they have levelled the playing field. Now anyone can play. Anyone who wishes to speak up can have a voice. We are no longer dependent on huge corporate machines to determine our entertainment for us. We the "Volk" (or 'folk' in English) are now entertaining ourselves and each other. Blogging is much the same, anyone can play. (I also see paralells within the kingdom of God and His church, but I'm trying to have fun here and not be so heavy and serious all the time!) So, with no further ado, Here's Gary Brolsma and his amusing little video! Enjoy!

Sarah,
I think you are correct about leveling the playing field and how it is also impacting the "church". There is a great new book by Clay Shirky entitled "Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations". This book even touches on the affect on the church. His description of wikis and Wikipedia in particular looks to me like what is happening in the church.
I would like to send this book to you so if you are interested please email me at travelltheworld@gmail.com I understand you do not know me but we can discuss by email how to protect your privacy, etc. It is a way of returning the blessing to you my enjoyment of your blog.
If I do not hear from you it is okay. I do not wish to make you uncomfortable in any way.
I still recommend the book. I think you would love it.
Great day journeying with Father!
Traveller, that's so nice, sounds like a great book! :)
