Another fun musical find...

So some of you probably already know this (as did Matt Bayley who told me about it today), but what a cool idea!

Like The Human Genome Project has set out to discover/label all genes found in our DNA, so Pandora has set out to analyze a LOT of the world's music, link it to many other types of music of its "kind" and group it. So type in a kind of music or artist you like and it searches its databases of all other kinds of music with similarities - some you may know, many you may not.

Are you in a "Cold Play" kind of mood? A "Watermark" kind of mood? A "Journey" kind of mood? Type them in and you get variety within a genre of a play list/jukebox around 40ish songs... PLUS if you like a song, there's an immediate way to buy it for all you MP3ers out there (no, I'm still not one of you since I can't think of a time when I would be exercising and not wanting to hear what Sarah says...). I'm going to try it out for a while (it's free) as background music... Let me know what you think if you try it.

Amazingly...

Beautiful music of a beautiful savior...

The Cake

It's amazing that I don't have more digital pics of our wedding and really don't want to take the time now to scan them all in (but it'd probably be a good project to do sometime as a way to back them up...), but I hope those of you who didn't get to come to our wedding feel like you caught a glimpse!

just a quote i like....

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
- Plato

I think that the reason I like it (other than that Jesus embodied perfect kindness for us to model)
is that it communicates an "others" emphasis - not just awareness - and certainly not an egocentric one...

An Afternoon at the Beach

(or Sarah by the "Sea")

She's addicted...

SO much fun...
