Time Warp in Google Street View

If you are looking to travel in time, apparently there is some kind of time warp located in Pittsburgh. It looks like the Google cars caught some warriors being transported during the middle of a war. See for yourself below.

If you use the street view navigation and go up to Federal Street, turn left and then turn back around to see the warriors, you'll notice they aren't there and the sun is out. Also, if you continue down Sampsonia way and turn around, you'll see the sun out, the street full of parked cars, and the warriors missing. More evidence that it's a time warp.

Anyway, I especially like this view. If you fail to follow the "Do Not Enter" sign, you die.

Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide

I've just finished going through Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide by Amy Shuen. This book takes several examples of businesses and shows how they are embracing the technology of Web 2.0.

This would be a handy resource to have available for both businesses who are transitioning on to the web and those who are looking to expand what they are already doing. The three features in this book that make it a handy resource are...

1. The strategic questions at the end of each chapter.
2. The 39 pages of end notes
3. The 21 page bibliography.

Accountability for your vote

Image by sroemerm via FlickrI've heard people say that we will be held accountable by God for the person we elect to office. Interesting...

For the sake of argument, let's assume they are right. Wouldn't that mean I should pray on behalf of the person I vote for to NEVER get elected? That way I can't be held accountable, right?

The Legend of Which Wich

Legend has it that there was a man who attempted to eat all 51 sandwich combination's at Which Wich. His name was Chris and he "poured out" everything he had to accomplish this great and daring feat. However, there's only bits and pieces of proof of this grand event, here and there.

Anyway, when you combine a guy's creativity with other's top notch customer service, good things are going to happen. The relationship between the Which Wich Legend and the local Which Wich here in Franklin, TN has worked out well for me. The other night my family, along with several others, had the pleasure of trying out some new sandwiches on the Menu.

• Bac-Hammon
• Surf & Turf
• Caprese
• Chicken Pesto
• Meatloaf
• Triple Cheese Please
• Spam ^(R)
• Spam ^(R) & Egg

All of them were good. I would not have been upset with ordering any of these choices. When I see "Vegetarian" on the menu, that is usually a sign for me to move on. However, the Caprese was the best tasting Wich of the night. The Spam^(R) & Egg did seem a little too processed for my expectations in a sandwich shop, but I think it's totally cool that a restaurant works to make icons out of things like brown bags, red Sharpeis^(R), and Spam^(R).

The owner's (Colt and his wife), run a great shop. Everytime I've been to their store, it's clean, crowded, fast, and friendly. This night is just another example of how they are working to make their Which Wich even better.

Poor eyesight

Yesterday morning we discussed Mark 8:22-26, where Jesus heals a blind man at Bethsaida. Most discussion that takes place with this passage centers around the fact that Jesus had to touch the man's eyes twice before his sight was fully restored.

There may be a lot of conclusions as to why this was, but for the moment let's assume Jesus did this to make a point to his disciples. I think it's a fairly logical conclusion because of the preceding scriptures.

In Mark 8:1-10, Jesus fed the 4,000 with a few loaves of bread and some small fish with plenty of food left over. Shortly after that miracle, his disciples found themselves in the same situation (Mark 8:14-21). They had one loaf of bread and then started whining about not having enough bread. That's when Jesus said "Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?"

Our vision isn't any better. We're near-sighted and I suspect that is why everything was blurry the first time Jesus healed the blind man. We often forget what we've seen God do in the past, and fail to see how he could do it again in the future. I think Mark/Jesus were proving a point.
