Olympics Art Competition

Well, here we are, Summer Olympics 2008! So, of course we need an Olympics Competition of our own here in the Bouncy Castle, wouldn't you say?

We thought it might be fun to combine the excitement of the Olympics with our own St.Pixels enthusiasm for art, and have an Olympics Art Competition.

So look here and try your hand at an Olympics-themed art project. You could win a prize!

Oh, and we are welcoming children's entries as well, so get your kids drawing and painting, eh?

Say it on a Postcard

Don't you love snail mail that isn't a bill or jury duty notice?

Well, we're having a St.Pixels Postcard Exchange so we can get some friendly mail.

All you have to do is sign up here and we'll give you some people to send postcards to. In return, you'll get some postcards in the mail.

Sound good? Then pop on over to the Bouncy Castle, and join in. We'd love to swap some postcards.

Who let the dogs out?

Animals and heaven? They may have rhythm - but does that imply soul? And is it just for the cute cuddly animals, or will killer crocs make it too?

The discussion can be found here.

Dogs and Cats are welcome to join in provided they sign up, abide by the Core Values and type in English.

Slip sliding away

Remember Sam - the American - Eagle on the Muppets? Sam would regularly appear on the show to bemoan the demise of society and the descent into a lack of values and morality.

I don't know if he was modelled on a preacher, but boy do our preachers sound like him sometimes. ("I'd like to talk today about nudity in the world today, and I - for one - am appalled by it.")

So did Sam have a point? Are we in an age of moral decline - rapidly leaving behind a better age?

O For a Thousand Tongues

Emptybelly has written a marvelous blog regarding his website and a wonderful project he is spearheading. Recordings of all the Psalms available on the internet to anyone, anytime. And he's asking for

More people are needed, thats why I am asking you, O Virtual Church aficionados! I was wondering if some people here would like to contribute by recording themselves reading a Psalm (or several)... The Psalm(s) could be your own choice, providing somebody else hasn't already picked them!

If you are willing to record a Psalm and bless someone else, drop by his blog and share.

Techies Strike Again

Mark and Gwaelod have been commiserating about the future of the PC, and letting us know, in no uncertain terms, that size does indeed matter.

Mark: The screen is 7", which is quite big enough to work with for short periods and much better than most PDAs manage. I can type fairly comfortably on the keyboard. It runs Xandros, a flavour of Linux, with a default PDA-like 'click on the icon" interface and an option to enable a full-blown desktop.

Gwaelod: Fun to investigate, nice toy, but I can't think what on earth I would do with it outside of this project.

Drop by their blogs if this sort of thing amazes you, and share.
