Jonathan & Rebecca Camenisch

Worth the price of admission [2]

Rebecca and I went to see a preview showing of Fireproof last night. I’ll post a review later, but for now I’ll just say that it exceeded my expectations. A really good movie.

Google is spying on us! [2]

Until I randomly noticed it this evening, I had no idea Google had gotten around to setting up “street view” on little cities like Oklahoma City—and some pretty unremarkable neighborhood streets too (the whole city maybe?).

Maybe I should be creeped out, but I think it’s pretty cool. Try dragging it around with your mouse, or clicking the little arrows. Or click View Larger Map to get the full experience.

Sorry we left the garage door open that day. If only we had known!

And why’d they have to come by in the winter when things were so brown?

Rebecca noticed the reflection of the car in our front window—it’s Google’s car, the one that took the pictures. Makes me want to scroll around for more front windows so I can figure out the make and model.

But enough way-cool time wasting for one night.

Solomon on the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election

Better was a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how to take advice. For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor. I saw all the living who move about under the sun, along with that youth who was to stand in the king’s place. There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

—Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

Twitter anyone? [2]

Does anyone use Twitter and see a lot of value in it? I keep hearing from really smart, productive people that they love it, and I must admit it still baffles me. (I thought I was pretty techie.)

This recent article from Forbes re-raises my interest in this hip tech tool. I’ve half a mind to sign up, just to figure out why it could benefit anyone—but who has the time?

On Patience from Tolstoy, Franklin, and the Surfer [1]

This is a good (and short) tidbit by some guy named Joe.
