Tonight someone I haven’t seen in 13 or 14 years IMed me while I was online hoping to connect with a tech support guy. We chatted for a while, learned more about a certain part of Washington than I knew previously, and then I checked out a recommended link to a site that came up during the conversation. I browsed brieflly, and this one page was funny, I thought.

Check it out at Wittenburg Door.com:

MISPLACED TAPE CAUSES MEGACHURCH SCANDAL
The ensuing near-schism arose, however, not because of the content of the tape, but because an unauthorized person had somehow gained access to the video room. This information led to an emergency congregational meeting immediately afterwards where another level of electronic protocol was added to security.

“The heart and soul of this church is the technological ministry,” said Pastor Josiah Grubb. “We are too big a body for any of us to personally know each other, and besides, how can we meet the needs of all our religion consumers without our techie stuff?”

You have to read the rest of it, to get the whole joke. Pretty funny stuff.

    Actually, it wasn’t completely random that I IMed you, as I’d been looking to see what else the Frogs had put out after Flail! (okay, that part was random), found Ookla the Mok, and your site linked via them, and put your IM into my Trillian . . . and then poof–there you were one night.

  • back to commuting - back to being screamed at by ignorant motorists
    For the past year, I didn't live far enough from work to bother bicycling (I was walking to work), but I recently started a new job, so yesterday was my first bicycle ride to work and back. It felt great! It was also nice that the snow had melted so that there was room for me on the side of the road. But on my way home, an ignorant motorist shouted out […]

  • I can't wait to try out Google's maps for BICYCLE routes!
    I've been waiting for this for a long time. At one point, I started working on a program that would use Google's map tools to create bicycle routes, but the programming was a little over my head.

  • New Orleans bike taxis could get City Council OK

  • First Impressions Count

But some Canadian researchers have quantified the theory in a study published in January 2006.
