Setting Up The Shot
Here’s a little peek behind the scenes of the Forgotten God DVD that our design company (The Regime) is shooting. You’re looking at Skid Row in downtown L.A. at 6am.

That song was stuck in my head all yesterday…
Yesterday morning we awoke to a phone call (well, to be honest Ben was ‘awoked’, I put him down as the emergency contact… genius) from the peeps who own the office building we lease from. They said there was some vandalism in our offices, and that someone had chucked a rock through one of our windows.
After arriving to our office to check out the damage, Ben found out they threw the rock (and Dell computer, ironically) through my office window. Here’s the aftermath…
Video footage revealed that it was just a couple of kids at about 4AM that morning just looking to break some stuff. The crazy thing is that they threw the computer first, then launched the rock right after in the same spot… I actually have a piece of the rock lodged in one of my pictures in my office. I’m definitely going to keep that there for a while.
Praise the Lord nothing was actually ripped off. They also totally missed my 30″ monitor (you can see throught the window on the first picture). So after all was said and done, I escaped with only a few scratches on my desk, monitor, and pictures. It could have been a ton worse.
Happy Monday!

Kirby and I made this as a Clover Birthday gift for our founding fathers; Ben and Jim. I used everything I learned in design school to produce it.
The Clover Family Turns 1!
To the web nerds out there…
I thought you might enjoy this post.

Hey guys,
Jim & Ben wrote an article for Collide magazine that is definitely worth the read: “Top Five Ways to Build a Bad Church Website.”
If you subscribe to the magazine, check it out on page 48. For the online version, click here.

After deliberating long and hard over the entries with the guys from Collide, we have a winner.
Well, winners to be exact.
We couldn’t just give one site away when there were so many great entries, so we decided to crown 3 winners. Here they are:
Saanich Baptist Church (Victoria, British Columbia)
Submitted by – Nick Johnson
St. Andrews Church (Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong)
Submitted by – Brian Lee
UTurn Angleton (Angleton, Texas)
Submitted by – Randy Henson
Congrats, guys. We were really proud of you all… Not necessarily proud of your websites, but proud of you for being willing to make a much-needed change.
There were some pretty bad sites… I would give you screen shots, but my computer screen might melt if I placed them on this blog entry. After reviewing them all, we decided to give every entry a door prize of $100 off a future Clover site. Hopefully this will help point everyone in the right direction.
Thanks for everyone who participated, and thanks to Collide for making it happen.

The iTunes Genius is genius. Even if they take my iTunes library and target me better with advertising (which they promise not to do). It’s totally worth it to have a playlist based solely off of Jens Lekman’s song “Sipping On The Sweet Nectar”.

This Friday marked a new age at Clover. We had our 1st Annual Christmas Extravaganza. To sum it up, it was pretty much pure awesomeness (yes, that is a word). The afternoon consisted of tri-tip and ribs, the exchanging of gifts, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe on the XBox 360, and some good old fashioned kick’n it. To top it off, our spouses were able to come and thus pushed the party into history as the best Clover party ever.
Here’s the picture to prove it.
Ben and I are pretty sure that we have the best team ever assembled. We are so proud to be a part of such a great group of people doing amazing things for the Kingdom. Go Clover!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Oh yeah- for all the gentleman out there who are jealous of my stache (Ben)… All it takes is a little patience and testosterone.
