George

For The Soos, ssoosay.com and "Ma" Soos... Hope you had a fab time in the company of Mr George Benson while he was hangin' in Glasgow?

My fav memory of George (yes, we are on first name terms ^___^) was his session work on the seminal album ((LA is my lady)) with Frank Sinatra and Quincy Jones... His guitar work is amazing and there is a fab photo of him with his headphones on with the headband over his forehead so as not to hurt his 'fro.

Sweet.

SNAC :: Sunday Night After Church


Crest 2 ((blurred))
Originally uploaded by Headphonaught.

Had a fab time tonight at "SNAC" ((Sunday Night After Church))... there were a number of new faces, some who hadn't been to the church before or at least for a while.

We had a very relaxed time of worship, meditation and fellowship... with "the red and blue pill scene" from the Matrix used to demonstrate our choices in this life. "Grace" by U2 was also effectively employed as a call to prayer and thought.

BLOC were, as always, good... with some new songs too... even though we couldn't use the drums (long story). Capt Alec was on form with a very poigniant thought on choice.

Afterwards, I was approached by one of our divisional leaders-to-be (aka our "bishops") and asked to be part of a new-expression-of-church/community planting team. Not sure exactly when or what it will involve... but Olly and I are getting ready for the next step. We do understand things will get blurred and a wee bit messy but we are up for the challenge.

Fab time all in... Thanks to everyone who was involved.

Apple Pro space

Have to say I am loving the ((apple pro)) space... Some great advice and inspiration.

Still working on converting a taping of week 5 into MP3 - any ideas?

Hope this is of benefit, Kirsty.

Cambrian House >> Crowdsourced Software

Here's an interesting concept :: ((cambrian house)) offer something new for community involvement - Idea generation and software development. Basically, you offer up ideas for software/webspaces and these ideas are put to a public (within Cambrian) vote... the ideas that are deemed successful are then developed by the collective's community of software elves in a way referred to as "crowdsourcing"... who get royalties for their involvement if it goes to market.

Very democratic... very post modern... very web 2.0...

Sorry...

All I can say is sorry to all my pals who support England. What a terrible way to be put out of the World Cup.

UPDATE

As reminded by Nuno's comment... I congratulate all my Portugese supporting friends.

Still think it was an awful way to win a World Cup game.

All I can say now is "C'mon Italy" (I want them in the World Cup final so I can watch them in Italy)

A visual scrapbook...

Cool pics from ssoosay.com :: Truly a visual scrapbook.

Sin, Sin, Sin

Image :: ((link))
Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush, hush, hush
Don't say a thing
Let's see what the night will bring
It might be everything

Oh it hurts
When you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind
I tell the truth to me

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us
Need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through

Oh it hurts
When you're too blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliche
But if its not here
I'll disappear

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside
Deep inside

It's love
Clean sex joy
I love you
You love my
Hate how it it feels inside
Feels inside
Feels inside
Sin, Sin, Sin by [Robbie Williams]

Bobbito and Diane were talking about this song when I popped over to see them this afternoon (Our car is problematic and I needed Bobbito's advice - Cheers!)

So what do you think of Robbie's lyrics? I too am ...after a glimmer of love and light deep inside.

Thanks

Been getting some sweet coverage from friends who I keep in touch with through their blogs, email, and sometimes face2face:

First off is my fellow Salvationist pal, Jonny Laird, who pointed me in the way of the Lard...
...compulsive Scots blogger & barometer of coolness . We have so many things in common it's spooky, but that has yet to be properly explored: Bellshill connection, Greenock memories, music stuff, appreciation of the Lard, Roots, books..very very weird.
Barometer of coolness...and very, very weird. That's me alright ^____^

Check out his blog and hassle him to post more often :: ((jonnylaird))

Next off is my eMate from Kidderminster, Andy from ((live a big life)) :: we keep in touch and he was a great help with an issue I had recently on the ol' nanolog...
I love the way it darts from music to luggage to fashion to gadgets and then BAM, right out of left-field comes a deeply profound post that just stops you in your tracks and makes you sit up and think, and think hard.
Thanks bro...

Lastly, we have my brother's brother who is technically my bro too... ((ssoosay.com)) :: his blog is a myriad of off-the-wall imagery and personal insight. Of the ol' nanolog he said this...
…Check it all the time…he jumps from subject to subject quite well…one minute he’s talking about Jesus…then the next post is about ‘Apple’ and ‘iPods’…and then sneakers…very, very nice…
Thanks to you to bro for your kind words. Your whole family have been super sweet in their support and I am extremely grateful.

I know this is kind of a bigheaded post but I just want to take time to say thanks to everyone who contributes and supports the nanolog :: Olly, my dad - the interTOG; The Soos, Bobbito & Diane, Existential Punk, Andy, Janey & Rosco, The Hintons fae Glenrothes & the Rous from Dundee, my pal Humfer, Jon G, Capt Alec, Joel, The Bennetts fae Kirkwall (Can't wait to hook up), my old pal J, JD in Texas and Nuno fae Portugal...

I've probably missed folk but thank you all. Love you!
