The Apocalypse starts today

The Apocalypse starts today

Good news! Macy's has cracked the biblical code and figured out that the Last Days start today and run through Sunday. Not only is it the end of time but Macy's is also celebrating the original sin (the Fall) with a sale! Based on the Left Behind novels and movies, you might not want to get in on the apparel sale.

If you were going to buy something, knowing that the world ended on Sunday, what would you buy?

First Time

First Time

I've had a borrowed vacuum cleaner from Jessica for the last year but today I purchased a new one. It's one of those canister/HEPA-filter/bag-less/gyroscopic/whirlwind/tornado/hurricane types. I've been vacuuming semi-regularly all along, but once I put the new one together, I gave it the once-around-the-joint tour. Here's the damage from the first pass with the new fancy vacuum.

I feel so dirty.

Do you Yaaarrrr?

Avast!
It's September 19 - do you know what day it is?

Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Not one of the better known Hallmark Holidays, but definitely one of my favorites.
And guess what? It also falls right in the middle of National Singles Week.

Shiver me timbers, this be a double celebration for the likes of me. If ye be not a scurvy dog, tell us all how you'll be celebratin'. Yaaarrr!

Arrrrrggggghhh! This video takes a while to load.


Yaaarrr! And this be the first day of the conference I'm responsible for, The Internet Ministry Conference. If ye be the prayin' kind, I'll be much obliged if ye'd include me for the next few days. Arrrrr.

PS - Flickr or FlickARRRRR updated their logo.

Brian this is Brian

So today my office released this video to describe my change from Brian Melles to Brian Atkinson.





It was a pile of fun to shoot and produce.
Big thanks to my friend Paul who manned the camera and the video editor, and thanks to Gospel Communications for making this goofy process so easy for me.

Fightin Amish

I've gone ahead and designed a shirt for Shirt Woot I need a bunch of people to vote for it so that the design will be selected for printing. So - vote early, vote often. Just click the shirt to vote.

The shirt is in honor of my Fantasy Football team name: The Fightin' Amish. This is my second year playing and this year I actually thought about it a little. In other words, I didn't pick the Bears Defense with my first pick.

We had our draft on Saturday and here's my starting lineup:
Postion Name Team Round
QB: Phil Rivers (SD) 6
RB: Larry Johnson (KC) 1
RB: Marion Barber (DAL) 4
WR: Chad Johnson (CIN) 2
WR: T.O. (DAL) 3
TE: Owen Daniels (HOU) 8
DEF: Patriots (NE) 9
K: Jason Elam (DEN) 14
O: Brandon Jackson (GB) 7
or Javon Walker (DEN) 5

First game is Thursday. Feel free to mock me.
