Went to visit our new niece last night. Introducing Emma Joy (with her parents). Cute.
Shamrock get his roll on
This is MC Shamrock (Mark Earngey) busting some rhymes with his former hip-hop crew 206collab. Mark is a good fella – he’s into old skool (liturgy and prayer books) and he’s into nu skool (hip-hop and synchronised swimming). He’s got some skillz.
Shammers has agreed to give me some hip-hop lessons – so look out!

Post #1000: Why I blog
This is my 1000th blog post. Wow! Incredible! Amazing! Sublime! I started blogging properly (false start #1 + #2) about 1050 days ago, so it’s just under 1 post a day during that period. I’ve averaged 3.6 comments per post. Thanks for reading.
On the whole I’m still trying to be concise, colourful, original and insightful with how I blog. Here are further thoughts on why I keep blogging:
Break it Down #4
Sound Relief was a unique music event held simultaneously in Sydney and Melbourne. It raised about $5Million for victims of the Victorian Bush Fires and Queensland floods. We listened on and off during the day via triple j. Lots of great music moments!
The concert reminded me that group singing isn’t that weird. Lots of Christians claim that group-singing is something foreign to non-Christians. I disagree. Generation Y are happy to sing in a group. They sing heartily at karaoke, sporting events, football change rooms and live music concerts. Give them a cause and a reason to sing and they will. Churches could tap into that – don’t just song as a filler – but sing with purpose and passion. (See nath + dan for related ideas).
