Zoolander Pose


Not quite.... I just got some new headshots done. This whole acting thing is a lot slower paced when you're not in school. I've revamped the website to make it obvious what I'm doing now, looking for acting gigs. Even church (http://www.mosaic.org) is slow right now for recruiting people onto the drama team.

I wonder how long it takes to get to the point where I can make absurd films like Zoolander and Starsky & Hutch with the same band of acting buddies over and over, having a blast, and making enough bank to fund whatever projects I want.

Speaking of projects, I've decided I'm going to try to save the world again... that's going to be my day job. Imagine SimCity for third world countries. Instead of building skyscrapers you're picking the smartest irrigation pumps, the best microcredit program, the best solar-powered refrigerators to install in your village. You watch your village flourish as you navigate all the demands of third world politics and economics. "SimVillage" except I can't call it that because it's already taken. Then imagine waking up one day and finding out somebody decided to bankroll your village and build it for real. The village you built in the game was so well done, your church decided to make it happen in real life partnering with World Hope, Google.org, and Ashoka to manage implementation. I'd definitely play the game. Hopefully a few million other people will too. =)

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
