That's My King

brent — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:11:22 +0000

Love this video. Yes, That's My King! And that is who we are celebrating at this time of year. It's about what I get or give. It's not about Santa or elves. The reason that I celebrate Christmas is because a Man was born. Long ago. In stable. And He lived an example for me and then died. But He rose again. For you and for me.

That's My King.

Is He Yours?

... But Different Words

Are your words as persuasive as they could be?

Often times, especially in web design, the content comes last. An after thought. This video, however, powerfully illustrates how different words, can make the message even more powerful.

Along the Way

When I was little, I loved Legos. Now that I'm older, I still love Legos! And I'm thrilled that both my kids do as well, though my eldest has more patience for them. (I'm sure it's an age thing.)

Another great short, this one by Peter Naylor. I love it when a story can be told without a single word spoken.

You can read more about the filming process on Paul Joy's site. (He is responsible for the photography on the film.)

UNDERCITY

Recently I have run across some excellent films, thanks in no small part to Twitter. A film by Andrew Wonder that follows Steve Duncan, a urban historian and photographer, though some of the underground treasures of New York City. The film is 30 minutes long but is absolutely gripping once you get started. Images are gorgeous and it was shot entirely on a Canon 5d Mk II with one lens, a 24mm Canon L lens.

Enjoy the full video after the break.

Gingerbread Cake with Lemon sauce

brent — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:04:51 +0000

I have never been a big fan of cake for my birthday. As a child, my mom always let me choose what I wanted and usually it was some kind of pie. Or crepes. But I have finally found a cake I can savor and look forward to: Gingerbread cake with hot Lemon Sauce! This has become my requested desert of choice!

This version of the cake is gluten-free, a must for any sweets in our house! While it's good when the cake is hot or cold, it's best when the cake is still warm and the sauce is nice and hot!

Tomato Potato Basil Soup

brent — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 05:12:21 +0000

One of our favorite restaurants in Spokane continues to be Europa Pizzaria & Bakery, a small european café on Wall St. One of the soups they make is a tomato potato basil and that last time we were there, I decided that I was going to figure out how to make that soup. I started by Googling but when I failed to find anything close, I struck out on my own. While this isn't a direct copy, I think it is close. Their version has more pepper and a bit of a kick, as well as a bit more liquid.

Is this what Flash on the mobile is all about?!?

brent — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:54:02 +0000

There has been a lot of talk recently about Flash on mobile devices, specifically how bad Apple is for not allowing Adobe to develop a Flash player for iOS devices. So Adobe valiently turned the other way and said they would work with Google to develop Flash for Android. There has been much touting of the fact that Android 2.2 now supports Flash 10.1 (via a download from the Android Marketplace).

This morning GigaOM's NewTeeVee site has an aricle and video of the fancy new technology at work. What was their opinion?

Searching your Drupal site for Content by Author

brent — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:22:42 +0000

Recently at work the issue came up that people were searching our site for all the posts by an author but it only returning the author's biography node. After some digging, I finally found a simple solution thanks to Julia at juliakm.com.
