I must protect this house

It’s starting to look like fall here in Tempe. It’s 80 degrees, skies are blue, leaves hold firmly to the branches of the few dozen trees, and ASU has swollen the population of this city to the breaking point.
Work is still pretty slow, all though we are talking about some fun projects on the horizon. The audio I need to finish my current DVD is finally getting worked on. No word on exactly when it’ll be finished, the producer wants a vacation, but I want my audio before that vacation. We’ll see how it turns out, either way we should be ready for our spring release date this time around.

I’ve got another quick church project to share:

When Worlds Collide: Can Science and Christianity Co-exist? from Praxis Church on Vimeo.

It’s a good thing the interview cut together as well as it did, because I literally just threw some clips on a timeline for this one. He seems pretty smart, a lot of people around church are excited for him to come and speak. I honestly stopped caring about how my faith and science fit together a few years back. I’m not smart enough to understand it, and faith isn’t supposed to be logical anyway. Some of the young earth creationist stuff is pretty silly if you ask me, there is no reason to drastically over simplify things. I believe my God loves me, that’s all I need.

I bought a Tetris arcade game a couple Saturdays back. A guy on Craigslist had a few different games for sale including two Tetris cabinets, one working and one with a broken monitor. When I got ahold of him the working game was gone, but he assured me that everything but the monitor on the second machine worked. You never know how things will turn out with Craigslist, but for $50 I figured it was at least worth a look. He answered the door with a baby in hand and asked me to be quiet because he just put his older daughter down for her nap. We walked through his house to his workshop and there was my machine in front of a few others. The side art was ripped and it was covered in thick dust, but all in all it looked to be in good shape. It’s hard to not trust a guy who offers to shake your hand with his right hand while holding a baby in his left. He said everything other than the monitor was working, so I handed him $50 and the game was mine.
I got a monitor off of eBay last week and ordered new side art on Friday. I still haven’t decided whether or not I want to repaint it, it doesn’t look bad, but the sides are dingy and nothing I’ve tried has gotten them clean. It’ll be fun to have a game around for people to play, it’s two players so I’ve got to brush up on my skills. I refuse to be embarrassed in my own house.
