A while back, I was corresponding with Jack Popjes (With Wycliffe Canada, who spent a bulk of his life as a missionary in Brazil), and discussing my future. He asked me a fantastic question that I ask myself every year.
Where would you honestly put yourself right now on a scale from 1 to 10. With one being the lowest risk and the most comfort, and ten being maximum risk, pain and possible reward. And why?

If you've been using skype for free long distance this year, check out Hullo. It's much like the Avaya, which I use to use at work. You type the number via the client, it calls you locally, then calls your other party locally, and the conferences you together, phone to phone, for free!
For those of you who followed me into the land of zooomr, a bulk uploading tool just got released for it. Check out juploadr here.
Calgoo lets you take your google calendar offline.
For those of you who are wondering how to keep site stats on voxtropolis. You can paste html code from different stat providers into the 'text' sidebar widget when you hit 'look and feel'. I just started using statcounter.
And to top it all of, it looks like Jesus is back and living in Miami.
*Update. I just made my first 'portal' on Zooomr. It's a neat little new feature that allows you in a sense to place a picture within a picture. Click below to see one of me getting slapped and a portal into the split second reaction afterwards.
With the time off and in an attempt to get ahead of school before the baby comes, i've devoured several books the past few weeks.
Working the Angles - Eugene Peterson
Confessions of a Reformission Rev. - Mark Driscoll
Getting to Yes - Roger Fisher
The Story we find ourselves in - Brian McLaren
From Paradise to the Promised Land - T. Desmond Alexander
Being Leaders - Aubrey Malphurs
Biblical Preaching by Haddon Robinson
Preaching to a postmodern world by Graham Macpherson Johnston
Anyone else read these before? I often feel quite affirmed in my own thoughts after reading books, but wrapping up this latest set, I feel like I know less than when I started and more challenged than ever.

Here's two more short lightsaber videos.
One is a practice duel, which is pretty funny right at the end if you know chinese.
The second is another lame one of Yvz defending herself against my saber as she lays on the couch.
Finally here's a large video you can download if you wish that I just stumbled on. Some university kids ambushed and nerfed me at our church's Summer Sojourn gathering. (My portion's around the middle of the clip).
Update: two of the videos that include Yvz have been made private (she's a bit embarassed... yet i'm so proud of her!). I can add you to my youtube friends list if you want to check'em out!

I just got back today from visiting Ottawa for the past week. I was beginning to develop migraines from having zero internet access. Anyhow, it was a fabulous time of family and friends.
One of the highlights was fiddling around with my brother in-law's lightsabers. They are so very cool. Here's my first ever youtube video. A short video of me rescuing my pregnant wife, it's so very very lame.
I can't figure out how to embed it, but check it out here.
We're back. Refreshed, and ready to take on the world.
Lots to catch up on, and more updates to come.
