Plugging IN

Coming to the close of the month, I've definitely come across a few things worth checking out:

**Bout the Web:
--Levi Jeans has launched a campaign called Go Forth. Ironically, it seems to involve scavenger hunts, artistic muse and the American Identity. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but it's fascinating. THIS video was amazing. It's about 17 minutes long and you might have to be logged into Facebook to see.

--With Cuba's history, Vangaurd journalists from Current TV have gone to see if the new generation has the itch to overthrow the current dictatorship. In preparation for the documentary, one of the journalists shares a few personal thoughts on covering the story.

--Reviews on the MotoBlur Cliq phone are here (Motorola's adaption of the Android Google phone). Interesting enough....to buy or not to buy?

--Apparently U2 will be streaming live on the Web Sunday by way of your YouTube for their L.A. concert. Personally, I'm more anxious for them to realease US tour dates for 2010.

**Blogs:
--Does Aid Work? A former humanitarian aid worker and activist looks at the dent no matter how small the efforts can make

--Joseph Thompson recently shared some incredible thoughts on Unconditional Love this past week.

**Other Stuff:
--Relevant Magazine's take on Where the Wild Things Are.

**Recommended Reads:
--I just finished Small Gods last week by Terry Pratchett. The Great God Om has been reduced to a small turtle. But he has found One believer who may be his greatest hope to reaching the hearts of all human belief.

--I've also just finished a book called So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore? Yes, seeming a awkward title for a novel, the stories unique explanation of how a Church and how belief in God might look- is fascinating. A Pastor grows weary of the very four-walled-building he helped develop and create when along comes a mysterious older man, named John, who shows him a better way. It's an interesting follow-up to The Shack.

--My thoughts on the two books and how they relate is HERE.
