What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

Friday Grab Bag

Man! Can you believe that in the non-English speaking world, people actually use English words as a kind of Graphic Art! They don't even know what English words their using. Check this out.

I can't believe anyone would be so dumb as to do . . . oh, wait. Nevermind.


Wouldn't it be great if daily objects could tell you when you'd need them? What if your umbrella could tell you that you need to bring it along? This one can.

Of course, an umbrella won't help if you're a plane needing to land in a thunderstorm. Here's a video of Air Traffic Control directing FedEx planes to land in Memphis over, under, around and through a storm.


Xibit, Pimp My Heart! (Yo.)


Finally, it's time to get ready for the best of all sporting events, the World Cup. Check out this guy's World Cup celebratory bike. (If you've ever watched the Tour de France, you'll recognize the builder/rider instantly. He's the dude who dresses in the devil outfit and runs up the mountain with the riders. I had no idea he was a multi-sport kind of devil.)

And on that note, "If you don't give my football back, I'm going to get my dad on you."

[Editor's Note: Your usual Piebald Life poster, Alex, is off at Chapter Camp these two weeks. In his stead, Macon is guest-blogging. Macon's normal habits are Starbucks (chillin' wit' Aidan), hunting through the dryer for that mysterious last sock, keeping it real, and the Stokes Kith & Kin blog. ]

Wow, I approve of your guest-blogger, AK. This was very strange but a highly entertaining way to spend a camper-less Rockbridge night post-N.T. Wright.

The umbrella is like Sting from LOTR; does it glow when orcs are near, too?

Macon said...

Marsh: That totally depends upon if the orcs are standing in the rain.

Ashleigh: thanks! I'll be here all week! Don't forget to try the shrimp cocktail & tip your wait-staff.
