Minister of Coffee

April 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

So yesterday we had our first “Men’s Fellowship” meeting at our church.  I decided to go there instead of hanging out with the youth.  I’m glad I did.
It was an interesting meeting, and I didn’t have a lot of input to say, but I was elected for two positions in the team:
1)  Minister of Coffee […]

The Veyron Is Amazing

April 19th, 2007 · No Comments

Is it excessive?  Without a doubt, but certainly, it is a piece of art from an engineering standpoint, and here is the video to prove it:
