Parodeities

Webster Christian Resources presents “parodeities,” Christian-themed parodies of rock songs. Hear MP3 clips of most songs with MIDI accompaniment, including:

Adam Was Made From Dust (Another One Bites the Dust)

Christ’s In The Manger (Cat’s in the Cradle)

Hip To Love God (Hip to be Square)

Obidiah (Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da)

Parable Wizard (Pinball Wizard)

Sweet Home Up in Heaven (Sweet Home Alabama)

and way too much more…

I hate to make fun of what is obviously quite a personal, spiritual project, especially when the author readily admits that he doesn’t have the best voice and is doing this for a good cause, but some of these are pretty cheesy…

Terrafly

Terrafly is an awesome site that generates satellite imagery based on addresses and lets you “fly” (pan) through its images. I thought that MapQuest did this too, but not anymore, apparently. Terrafly has a limited map and points-of-interest overlay, but for precise mapping/directions, MapQuest is a better bet. However, for sheer eye candy, I haven’t seen anything this nice, not even TerraServer.

Tim Robbins, Lucid Activist

I fully support the war in Iraq, a long overdue action to oust an insane megalomaniac (among other things). But enough about that. When I saw a link to a story about a Tim Robbins speech, I was prepared to read a stereotypically far-left anti-war screed. My knee-jerk impression was quite wrong, and although he makes no apologies for his anti-war stance, I must say that I agree with almost everything he has to say. Read this transcript of Tim Robbins’ speech to the National Press Club and see what you think.

Oh, and Bill O’Reilly is an asshole who should not be allowed to represent the position of anyone, right or left.
