1. This sounds really awesome: Godblogcon. I mean, just say it. It sounds pretty innovative. It's a conference about using the media force of the blog "to engage the culture as thoughtful, articulate, and winsome witnesses of the redeeming work of Christ in every area of life." Hmmm . . . blog = witness? And my pops says it's a waste of time. Ah, the generation gap.
2. Isn't it weird when you realize things for the first time that have always existed? Like, when something just dawns on you all of a sudden, and you're like, "I should have known that!" As trivial as it is, I just realized that one of my favorite daily comic strips, For Better or For Worse, is set in Canada. The characters are Canadian. I mean, who cares, but it was like, all this time, and I never knew that! It almost makes me feel ashamed.
3. I got my Malcolm Gladwell fix watching this video of him (scroll down and click the very last one) at the recent New Yorker Festival. He's quite an engaging speaker. He's Canadian too, by the way (but I always knew that). And to think, (my claim to fame . . . ) I got an email from him. (All right, it was only one line, but still!)
4. I really love this song by Starfield called "My Generation." It's a classic blast-at-full-volume-and-sing-along. Check it out here! And weird, but they're Canadian too. The Canada connection amongst my few cool things was not intentional, but sometimes it works out that way, I guess. The chorus:
How do we feel?
How do we feel?
My generation is aching for real
Dying for love
Crying for truth
My generation is aching for You.
