The Lifehouse Skit

Published by Booyor under Artsy, Cool Stuff

Some people from our church did a skit. This skit is not the Easter Bunny vs. Jesus, just FYI.
Someone from our church, not knowing what was to happen (and would totally weird me out if I didn’t know the guy), pointed up at the ceiling and said, “The angels are gathering - something big’s about to happen.”

Click here for the video.

These guys, with their Steve Jobs is a Cylon, capture the feel of the show pretty well.

Top-selling Games

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

Mario has sold 195 million units. Halo 3 has a ways. #3 most selling is Final Fantasy. #2 is…Pokemon? I found this hilarious (reference the Simpsons’ trip to Japan):

In 1997, over 600 Japanese children suffered seizures while watching an episode of Pokemon called “Electric Soldier Porygon.” It hasn’t aired since

How crazy is this from Yahoo?

On Wednesday Microsoft gleefully announced a $170 million take on opening day alone, making it the highest-grossing single day launch in entertainment history. To give you some perspective, current box-office champ Spider-Man 3 enjoyed an opening weekend total of about $150 million. Master Chief does whatever a spider can and then some.

Helping an elementary kid brainstorm ideas for exercising in space

Published by Booyor under Haiku

The Haiku
I like brainstorming
about exercising in
space - I may obsess much

Anything that gives resistance to muscles without needing gravity. Anything preventing muscle atrophy. Traditionally this is a rigged-up stationary bike, but 2001 by Stanley Kubrick had fun by starting the movie with a jogger who started on the ground and moved to the ceiling and back.

I personally like to lift weights more than run, but that doesn’t count when in constant free-fall. Maybe bungee tennis, pushing off of the wall but separate enough to not cross cables (unless you can only do singles matches - but to accommodate 100 people, you’re talking precious square footage).

Here’s a cool way to get two people exercising at once:

One person cycles while the other does squats, benefitting from the temporary artificial gravity.

2001 made running look a lot prettier than this:

What the junk is that?

It is so kind of you to put space-people’s needs above your own.
