It looks like today is just going to be chock full of YouTube videos. Here’s a great little Youth Ministry video that nicely complements the Ignatius one I posted a while back.

Car Fu
If you thought the best bit about Transformers 2 was the kung fu robots then you just have to check out this trailer for a Chinese movie that’s coming out this year. It looks awesome.
If (boring) games were movies…
We’ve all seen what happens when popular games become movies. Like Hitman. And Doom. And Super Mario Bros. They never live up to the hype.
Crap games*. Or not particularly complex games. Make for awesomeness.
*These games are not technically crap.
Variations on a theme
Guitar hero and Rubiks Cube combinations are so last year. Real geek prodigies join string quartets and play medleys of game theme songs…
4WD Segway
The real reason Segways haven’t taken the world by storm (despite having awesome brand placement on shows like Arrested Development) is that they’re not really all terrain personal transportation devices.
Here’s a handy solution.
This kid’ll go far…
I’m not a big fan of guitar hero – but solving a Rubiks Cube and playing while watching the TV in the mirror is pretty impressive.
Working Families
So, K-Rudd isn’t actually to blame for coming up with the phrase… because the West Wing did it. Back in season 2. I wonder if politicians feel the pressure to outdo the West Wing. Like South Park and the Simpsons…
SAM
[reading] “We want a real tax cut for working families to help them pay for higher
education and housing, while our opponents want to help the rich pay for bigger swimming
pools and faster private jets. [pause] No, I don’t think so.
Cardboard Boxing
I like pugilistic endeavours. I haven’t really gotten into the whole Ultimate Fighter thing. But I would (watching not participating). If I thought my wife would let me… that’s neither here nor there.
Did you know that there’s a “Cardboard Tube Fighting Championship“… no? Well now you do – thanks to here. And it looks awesome. Here’s the official site. Anybody want to organise one in Townsville?
Putting things in perspective
I am, depending on swine flu, preaching this Sunday morning. I’m doing the fourth woe in Matthew 23. I’m going to use this video as an illustration. If I’m allowed out of bed.
Oh yeah, the doctor said it was too early to diagnose me clinically yet. So I have to wait to see if it gets worse.
Here’s the passage.
“23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.”
Flipping the bird
I’m sick. So this might not be as funny if I were well…
More new Muse
Here’s the second Muse song from the upcoming album – The Resistance. It’s less Queenish than the last one.
The tracklisting includes quite a few songs with “symphony” in the title. Which is pretty exciting in and of itself…
Unfortunately the YouTube video was pulled for violating copyright. Here’s a link to the song on the Muse website.
YouTube Twosday: United States of Eurasia
There’s new Muse coming out this year. Huzzah. Here’s the first track to be released from their new album – they released it in chunks and it made its radio debut today…
Wind break
Three nights of Chamber Music done and dusted. I’m feeling as cultured as one of those Yakult yoghurt drinks…
I can tell my bassoons from my oboes… So I thought I’d share that culture with you.
