back to the patent office

Today I was introduced to AC power cords that can spin 360 degrees at the head. What kind of idea is THAT!? :) Seriously, what practical uses would you find with an electrical jump rope? We might as well make hammers that have a magnetic polarily to flawlessly strike the head of a nail...or maybe cell phones that constantly have full reception anywhere you go...just because we are trying to make static inanimate objects inappropriately nimble and agile. This particular extension cord, by the way, broke very easily today while trying to use it like any other extension cord--plugging it into the wall. No wonder I can't find this product on the Web. Some things should simply have never entered the patent office.

and so the SAGA begins...

Ever since my last church, I've been amusing myself by calling my fellow techies (be they staff or volunteers) tech ninjas.

It's entertaining to think of the similarities between techies and ninjas...both lurk in the darkness behind the scenes and, very often, go completely unnoticed...their work is based on increasing the greater good, commonly thankless and rewarding only through the gratification of personal and/or interpersonal accomplishments for a higher and greater Power.

It is my meditation that we will be able to harness the shekinah glory of our all-powerful yet agape GOD. May He be the sole recipient of our individual and team efforts to connect people with Jesus in soul-stirring and awe-inspiring manifests.

I look forward with great anticipation of growing our tech dojo...maybe we can even pull off a group picture like this...someday...
