From the Technicolor - Help Me - Too Much Sleep

Technicolor Life

I sleep too much.

I know, a weird problem to have.

Every afternoon, when I come home from work I take a nap and have to force myself to get out of bed.

Simple question.

What do you do to stay up after a long day for work? Exercise? Food? Red Bull? More Work?

Help.

From the Technicolor - Disconnected from Christian Culture

Technicolor Life

Ever since I left my job at GenesisChurch.TV, I’ve felt really disconnected with the Christian Church. Not really my faith but my enjoyment of “christian things” has gone away. Maybe it is because of the sacrifice I made to take a job and then had the rug ripped from under me but I would like to think it is for another reason…

Sometimes I wonder, when Jesus comes back, would he approve of what the modern church has become?

I see more and more an emphasis on buildings and materials. The money spent on wasteful monuments should be focus towards the people who Jesus has called us to help… not on ourselves.

This cross is ridiculous.

1 million dollars……wasted.

1 million dollars…could have been used through companies like charity:water. They can give someone in Africa 20 years of clean water for a donation of 20 dollars.

What’s more christ-like???

A 200 foot cross
or
Clean water for 50,000 people

The answer is obvious.

Matthew 6.24: No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money

Many Christian Churches are serving the Green god!



What are your thoughts? Is this the church God imagined from the beginning? How do these thing look to people outside the christian bubble?

From the Technicolor - Jailbreak iPhone

Technicolor Life

This weekend, I broke my iPhone out of jail.

You see, Apple sets walls up in the iPhone software were you can’t install any third party applications. Everything you put on the iPhone has to come through the iTunes app store.

I won’t go step by step on how to do this (google will give you all the steps) but I broke those walls down and now my iPhone experience is wide open.

I now have a video recorder, Nintendo simulators, and themes that give my phone a visual overhaul. It’s amazing!

What is even better is that it doesn’t void the warranty and can be reversed with a click of a button.

I recommend that all iPhone users do this to get a fuller experience with their phone.

From the Technicolor - Zombies Attack Austin, Texas

Construction signs warn of zombies
Hackers change public safety message

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of “zombies ahead.”

“I thought it was pretty funny,” said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. “We wondered who did it.”

The City of Austin does not own the signs, but they are responsible for the message. The contractor on the construction project owns the signs. A city spokesperson said the hacked messages were only up for a few hours, until the construction project manager saw them during his morning commute and immediately ordered them to be changed back.

“Even though this may seem amusing to a lot of people, this is really serious, and it is a crime,” said Austin Public Works spokesperson Sara Hartley. “And you can be indicted for it, and we want to make sure our traffic on the roadways stays safe.”

Hartley said though it was a locked sign, the padlock for it was cut. Signs such as these have a computer inside that is password-protected.

“And so they had to break in and hack into the computer to do it, so they were pretty determined,” said Hartley.

This crime is a class C misdemeanor in Texas, and Hartley said it endangers the public.

“The big problem is public safety,” said Hartley. “Those signs are out there to help our traffic on the roadway to stay safe and to know what’s coming up.”

KXAN Austin News cameras caught many drivers slowing down to read the signs as they approached. Some read, “Zombies ahead! Run for your lives!”

Hartley said the city will discuss more secure safety measures with the manufacturer of the signs.

Speculation among the tech-savvy on the Internet is that the signs were inspired by the video game Call of Duty 5, World at War, which is the top game in the country right now and features “nazi zombies,” or an upcoming movie about zombies called “Dead Snow” (an official selection at Sundance ‘09). There are also several online sites that teach people how to break into these construction signs.
