Why I love youtube, but hate spoken word videos.

I’m getting pretty sick of people sending me or people filling my Facebook feed etc with the ‘Why I hate religion, but love Jesus’ video.

I’m not a fan of spoken word, and while this video is nicely shot and uses emotive colours and music the constant battle to make sentences rhyme drives me batty. I think I pretty much agree with content but it would be much less wanky if it didn’t all rhyme.

There is a nice quote from Ghandi “I like your Christ but I don’t like your Christians”.

I think i’m pretty similar.

Well now a Catholic priest and some video geeks have made a response video.

I can’t help but spend the whole time staring at the massive marble alter and over the top architecture in this video while he tries to justify religion.

Discuss.

I’m the new Rebecca Black

So I just discovered I’m a YouTube hit.

This Friday marks Jenny and my 5th wedding anniversary, so I was scrolling through old blog posts and found a link to a YouTube video of the kiss at our wedding. It was taken by our buddy Sam on his phone and uploaded to the interwebs. It seems that in the last 5 years there has been a lot of people watching this video expecting to find Howie D of the backstreet boys kissing his wife.

In fact 70,888 people have watched it.

Enjoy.

Like a garage sale only different

It’s no secret that me and wife love DVDs and that our collection is quite large.

We have a policy of only buying stuff that we think we will enjoy watching several times and if possible only buy it on sale.

But as we review our collection there are a few that we probably don’t need anymore.

So we would like to get rid of them (with some monies in return) – they are all in super condition and bought legally.

All you have to do is leave a comment stating which one(s) you want, then I’ll email you and we can sort out the $$$. We are not expecting top dollar but just a bit like you would in a second hand DVD sale.

$1, $2, $750 we don’t care, although  if you don’t live near us please make your price at least enough to cover postage.

(please don’t be offended if we are getting rid of stuff you gave us)

well it was special

Last night Tom and I did our Australia Day special webcast.

It was going to be a good show, we even did a rehearsal the night before and recruited Lesley and Jenny to help it run more smoothly.

But then as we went live it all fell to pieces as the ustream software collapsed, out internet connection died, videos wouldn’t play, the ustream website wasn’t recording and it all fell apart.

So below are the 3 sections of the show that did record. There is bits missing and bits repeated but you get the idea.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3
