Highlight of the week: I spent the better part of Saturday afternoon making a video with a couple of my high school students. We shot scenes in Valley West Mall, Barnes & Noble, Border's, and back at church. I have it done -- for the most part -- but it's not uploaded anywhere yet. It was a pretty fun time working on it, and I had a good time discovering all of the free music bundled with iMovie. Oh, and , too.
Book(s) I'm reading: I put on hold last week and read 's new book, . I love all of Gladwell's stuff, and I found this book to be particularly engrossing -- it was essentially Freakonomics-style thinking applied to our notions of how one becomes successful. Highly recommended,
Music I'm digging: I've been enjoying (link opens in iTunes) by Eluvium this past week, based on . Aside from a couple of beautiful solo piano tracks, Copia is rich ambient goodness.
Something(s) that blew my mind: .
Ministry update: Nothing new, really.
Seminary/ordination update: I'm currently maintaining a regarding seminary and ordination.
Looking forward to: Planning and researching a potential vacation...

Jake,
Ive been paying attention to your blog and notice you have a good taste in movies, check out the movie Slumdog Millionaire as soon as you can. My vote for best movie of the year so far, granted its been a fairly weak year for movies thus far, but still. Let me know what you think
