Jedi Karl on CBS News

OK, I’ve finally gone and done it. (by popular demand, I might add!) Often when I am speaking somewhere (or anytime Star Wars comes up, which it does occasionally in my life) I mention that I got to go see Star Wars Episode II nearly a week early at one of the only fully digital theaters in the country (which had scenes not in the release for the general public since George Lucas kept tinkering with the film even after it was shipped off in film to theaters across the coutry and only digital projector theaters actually showed the version that you now see on the DVDs, not many people realize that.) Anyway – what I often mention is that when we came out of the theater (and yes, I went dressed as a jedi with a friend) we were interviewed by two national networks, both of which aired that night across the country. We were only able to get a copy of the CBS report. What did I finally do? I put it up on YouTube. (Again, only by popular demand, it’s rather embarrassing actually!) Now, before you watch this I need to make a few disclaimers. First of…

Slowing Down Isn’t Always Good!

Perhaps you’ve seen this popular video of a laughing baby… but have you seen what happens when you take the same video and slow it down: Kinda creepy, huh?

Play Pork Invaders

Was checking out John McCain’s Website and enjoyed playing Pork Invaders! I thought this was a pretty creative way to get a message out – especially the fact that John McCain has a record of $0 in ear marked pork compared to over $740 million to Obama. That’s a slight difference. Play it here on my site: (my score was 13,030. Put your score in comments!) OR CHECK IT OUT ON JOHN’S SITE

How Luke Survives Long Drives!

How does Luke survive looooooong drives in the car? By watching online videos of himself of course on his Mac. That is, when daddy isn’t borrowing Luke’s Mac to do e-mail, twitter, or make videos of Luke while driving. (well, while mommy is driving that is!) But we are finally home and hitting PUBLISH as we pull into the drive way! Yippppeeeee!

Luke Climbs a Lighthouse

For our 15th anniversary we are spending a week in Lundington, Michigan. There are lots of pictures still to go through, but I wanted to blog our highlight today, on our actual anniversary. What a fun day! (click on any picture to view larger, then browse back to pick up where you left off!) Luke was just eager to get going on our 1.8 mile hike to the Big Sable Point Lighthouse which is only accessible by hiking in. If you squint you can see a little black and white dot in the upper left hand corner of this picture… that was our destination. Would Luke make it, that was the question! Fortunately, some friends of our who live in Ludington, who we visited with on Tuesday evening, “just happened” to give us a kid-backpack. (God is indeed sovereign, and He likes to prove it over and over!) So when Luke got tired or decided he wanted to walk in directions other than forward, we had a way to make progress without losing too much time. But we were in no rush, so we stopped often to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery – a strange combination of sand, water…
