School's Out - Redux!

Reblogged from Blogjammin':

I used this video last year, and I’m using it again.  Today is the last day of school, and I’m too busy celebrating to write a blog post.  Alice Cooper and the Muppets say it all for me.

I'm just going to use this every year to celebrate the end of school!

Perfection?

I was a little nervous about biting into this burger.   The perfection of the outside set such a high standard, that I didn’t think there was anyway the inside could live up to it.

But it did.

Oh it did.

This is probably the best burger I’ve ever made.

 

The Countdown BeginsI

It’s Monday.  But it’s not just any Monday.   Today is the first day of the last week of school.   Four more days and then it’s summer.  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a few days relaxing at home.  Fortunately this week is mostly just coasting until time to go home.  I’ll be giving tests, tidying up my room, prepping a little for next year, etc.  But the train is finally pulling into the station.

Or out.

I’m not really sure which way that metaphor makes the most sense.

Congratulations

Congrats to classes of 2012 everywhere, but especially to those from Beebe High School.  Graduation was tonight and once again the faculty participated.  Even though it was blazing hot at first, it was worth it.

Good ceremony.

Good speeches.

Good class.

And I’m not just saying that about the speeches because I was thanked in one.

Now go out and make the world better.

Random Wikipedia Article of the Week

It’s been a while, so you knew it was coming sooner or later.  I hope the anticipation didn’t do terrible things to your already over-stressed heart.  The subject of this week’s random Wikipedia article is:

Ference Marton.

I’ve never heard of him, so he’s no Harry Wong.

An Accomplishment

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but I recently became a deacon at church.  Thirteen others were appointed along with me, and we were all put in charge of various areas of work – missions, benevolence, fellowship, etc.  I was put in charge of technology.  If you’ve searched for the Beebe Church of Christ in the last few years, you may have found our old website full of outdated information.  I’m not even sure we had the correct times on there for services.  If you tried to visit our site more recently, you may have found it linking to a Russian car advertisement.  If afterwards you received a car with the title in Russian, I apologize for the confusion.

But now we have an updated website!

Beebe Church of Christ.

No Russian cars here.  Just sermons, bulletins, and information.  Well, some information.  It’s still a work in progress.  If you’re interested, we’re going to do our best to keep it updated.  Although I’m already behind on sermons.  I missed church Sunday night and didn’t get a chance to pick up the files.

I know, I know.  Just made a deacon and here I am skipping church.

Success!

You might remember a few weeks ago I posted this, about a Kickstarter to fund a new game studio run by adventure gaming legend Jane Jensen.  It’s the first Kickstarter I’ve pledged any money too, although I was tempted when Double Fine announced theirs.  But this was Jane Jensen, creator of the Gabriel Knight series, the greatest adventure games of all time.  So I pledged, and now I’m excited to say that it’s goal of $300,000 dollars has been met, and exceeded with eight days still to go.  It’s going to fund two games this year – a supernatural thriller called Moebius, and a mystery game.  Here’s a link to the kickstarter:

Jane Jensen Adventure Games!

If you have any interest at all in point and click adventure games, do yourself a favor and help fund this.  Nobody makes them better than Jane Jensen.
