Link Roundup
Each Friday I post really interesting things I found on the interwebs.
I now share them with you my friends.
Inside FiftyThree's New Office Space
The renowned maker of iOS app Paper just created their own office. This would be a fantastic space to work. Tons of natural materials, light and superior craftsmanship.
Send Your Own Personal Satellite to Space
Did you know you could hitch a ride with a Russian rocket to space? Neither did I but here is a site that gives you a schedule for major launches and how much it would cost to send up your personal satellite with them.
Rolling Stone Got The Inside Scoop On the Flappy Bird Story
I read this and did feel for the developer and had a better insight into why he took the popular game down from the iOS app store. [there is a bit of NSFW language]
Let It Go from Frozen [Metal Instrumental Version]
Next time my kids request the Frozen soundtrack I'm putting this on. Seriously, some amazing talent here.
Noah's Ark Movie Featurette
This short clip gives you a behind the scenes look at the movie and gives you a true idea of how big not only was the production ark (which they built to scale) but how absolutely massive the original ark was.
The Perfect Mini Golf Game
One of the rarest feats ever and a really intriguing short film.
I share other links and fun stuff on Twitter. Follow me for more!
The New Calvinism - A Timeline Infographic
My journey to the "New Calvinism" as all the cool kids are calling it, started with a short film.
It was the one where Rob Bell is for whatever reason hiking in the woods with his infant son under the threat of a rainstorm. The rain did come and as Rob in his awesome glasses ran John Woo slow-mo through the trees, I thought it was the coolest Christian thing I had ever seen. Of course consider the source. I grew up with emo Jesus flannel-graph and a Sunday night program called Eager Beavers...
While Bell's Nooma videos and early book Velvet Elvis ultimately would not satisfy my longing for something greater in the world of Christendom it did open the door for me to look.
And as I looked I discovered Mark Driscoll who taught me how to love Jesus and my family.
I found Tim Keller who brought the Bible to life in ways I had never considered.
I listened to John Piper who rather than shaming me into a love for God, was able to inspire a love for God by showing His absolute glory and beauty.
And through CJ Mahaney and Tullian Tchividjian I learned that the Gospel wasn't just for my salvation, but something to center my whole life on.
In short I am the poster child of the New Calvinist movement.
Tim Challies and I in our latest infographic take a look at the formation and life of this movement, that in 2009 Time Magazine said was "changing the world."
