This is Sam’s farewell to his old church and youth group (Corey eat your heart out!). They did some really good videos on their camp in January 08. They had 3 people who came on camp to film and edit videos on the run. Creative and good quality. Check out their channel.

Do you need a website designed? Maybe I can help you? Let me know…
Here is a page on our ‘For Parents‘ website that is for promoting safe Internet use. It has some of the material from my ‘MyKid on MySpace’ talk in the adults tent this morning on summerfest.
Check it out. Let me know if there’s any dud links… or if you have suggestions for other ones.
Chris Mayes has been churning out the blog posts this month. He’s got a new name for his blog: A Disorder of Things; a new header: above; and been writing some good stuff. He’s in the middle of a top 10 albums of 2007 and I found his latest post on Hicks and bin Laden particularly insightful. Here’s a snippet:
Well, I think like the banality of Eichmann, the loveliness of bin Laden is hard for people to take because we think evil people need to thoroughly evil with no redeeming features. They need to hold all the negative character traits including tobacco smoking (Russians, Arabs and bad guys) and poor dental hygiene.
Breakie?
Brekky?
Breaky?
Brekkie?
Breky?
Breci?
EDIT 6 YEARS LATER…
This blog post ranks well in Google and those curious to know how to spell ‘the colloquially shortened form of breakfast’ probably arrive here disappointed!
I have done some further research.
Although ‘breakfast’ obviously has ‘break’ in it, when shortened and adding ‘y’ or ‘ie’ upon first reading, it could easily sound like ‘brake eee’.
And so the only two left as genuine contenders in the final: BREKKY and BREKKIE.
I spoke to a linguistic expert and her conclusion was that both are acceptable because phonetically they both clearly communicate the same idea.
My final decision?
1) I used to work in a youth centre that ran a “BREKKY CLUB”
2) BREKKY is shorter than BREKKIE and so does a better job at abbreviation.
