Regular readers will have noticed that updates have been, well, sporadic around these parts. There's a very good reason for this: September 4th marked my 7th anniversary at my company; September 5th, I was offered a new job. Monday was my last day at my old company, which I've always declined to mention, as it just seemed prudent. (Let's just call it Mock Seed Tartan.) Tuesday was my first day at the new place.
I'm excited to be working at Learning By Grace — I've been brought on as "Mr. IT", platforms guy and hopefully will be able to help them make a transition from more of a startup mentality to one more focused on production and performance.
Leaving my previous job was definitely a hard decision, though primarily for one reason and one reason only: the people. Beyond Aron I had many, many friends there and I will miss each and every one dearly.
Hopefully my posting frequency will begin to go back up a bit as I get acclimated in my new surroundings. Thanks for the understanding.
And to those of you at ATL: thanks for 7 great years. I wish you all the success in the world.
The coworker that forwarded me this is a dirty, treacherous, mouth-breathing slug of a man and Paul Anka is a war criminal who eats babies, at least if this is any evidence.
And yes, today is a Video Posting Day, if you couldn't tell.
Sometimes pursuing something earnestly is so earnest that it wraps the whole way around through self-parody and back into earnestness. For instance, Sonseed's "Jesus Is My Friend":
I first saw this video when it was passed along by my pastors, each of whom was taking friendly wagers as to whether it's merely really, really bad 80's Christian popska, or whether it's so bad, so cheesy that it simply must be a modern a parody. If you guessed "parody", well, aparently you're wrong. Either that, or it's a very well coordinated viral campaign.
In any event, enjoy the video, and good luck getting the song out of your head.
Britain's Daily Star solicited "Britain's Worst Jokes" and this poor showing was the result. The Fark thread linking to the contest, however, is chock full of atrociously enjoyable puns and jokes.
