Now I NEED an iPad...Sigh...***

So I just saw this (I *think* it just came out...but I'm not sure...).  Anyway, I just saw this:


Here's a link if you want to check it out in more detail.

It's an interface to make your iPad a multi-effects pedal for guitar... The possibilities are...well, limitless, really.  Oh, AND the app to run this... FREE from the iTunes store...

Sigh...

Actually, I'm almost more interested in seeing how it's going to get hacked to make it even more flexible - as it stands, potential sound quality issues aside (I have NO idea how it actually SOUNDS) - the list of features makes it sound like a generic boss/digitech pedalboard.  But...I bet there's a community of app tweakers that grows up around this app that twists and turns things in all kind of amazing ways...

Someday...







*** Yeah, I know - I have the Line 6 POD X3 Live which is really amazing...but...this uses an iPad...you know, the toy that all the cool kids have...  :)

Everybody has buzzwords - business has theirs, the entertainment industry has a lingo, in sports, and in church work we have ours, too.

We're not allowed to play bingo, so we definitely shouldn't yell out that word. Maybe if I had people yell out "Hallelujah!" when they got 5 in a row, the powers that be at conference would just assume that the person was powerfully moved by the point being made.* But we would know - and would secretly give them a prize.** The point being that we like to use the t

B C Comic

So ten years ago Johnny Hart (who died like 4 years ago) ran this strip (click to enlarge): And there's been controversy since.  Okay, I get it.  Hart was a Christian and he expressed his faith in his comic strip - lots of people calling him a fundamentalist...dunno what his particular Christian religious persuasion was - except that his funeral was in a Presbyterian church. So, anyway, it's just clear that lots of people missed the point****.  In fact, Hart himself claimed to be shocked that people thought he was an advocate for  replacement theology  based on the strip...  He could be clever - a 2006 strip that I think has a well played double entendre: (And, for the record, I'm no more or less offended by that than I am by people who use  Fred Phelps  as the posterboy for Christianity - every religion has it's crazy fundamentalists...well, the big ones I know about, anyway...)  Nice double joke on "moon shaped" and bug - Luna-Tic[k] and, of course
