of cameras and other cool toys.

Just listening to the Church tech talk podcast this morning, and they were talking about a sweet camera from JVC, the JVC GY-HD250.
It's high definition and has some really awesome other features as well as having awesome colour abilities. Like shooting in real colour and then making it dull later, not shooting it dull.
Oh if i had a spare $13,000.

What I've Done

corinthians 7

We had Corinthians 7 preached on the weekend. It was really good. just a few excerpts from the chapter that are funny out of context

• "It is good for a man not to marry"
• "It is good for them to remain single."
• "He should not become uncircumcised" (I'm interested as to how this is possible??)

some interesting quotes. stay tuned for the blog of the sermon.

Auditions

Yeah
just got a copy of adobe audition 2 today. its awesome software that i plan to use for recording and mastering and everything. awesome. All i need to do now is work out how to make it and my Edirol FA-101 talk to each other.

sundays vol ???`

Well, its been a few weeks that i posted after a Sunday, so i thought I'd get back to it.
It was a rather relaxing day. i didn't go to church in the morning, instead heading out to the go karts and helped warren out with timing. I had fun out there. Then i had to leave early so that i could set up some extra recording stuff to do a special record at our youth service. It worked well early, but then at crunch time, because we were pressed for time as i had a meeting for an hour before the service, I didn't get to do a test record during sound check, so when it came to crunch time I've hit record and listened in the cans, and low and behold, the send from the splitter to my recording spot was bad. i think it was just a bad lead. So that didn't happen so i was pretty disgruntled by that. serve me right for no doing a test record.
715, I did mixing, and it was a good service, except for some booing bass, and also a preacher that kept coughing straight down into the lapel microphone, ouch!. Also we showed a video that was made recapping a previous series as we are coming back to it, using a kutless music video and overlaying it with some pictures from the last series. their was a problem however, and the audio track was patchy over the parts where images had been input. to me it seems like a software or encoding problem, when it was made. were going to have to work it out.
anyway. im up early to pick mum up fro the airport at 6 o'clock. ouch.

Discipline

Last night we had our youth group planning meeting for next term and we talked about discipline and strategies to make it better, but also make it less needed.
We talked about how that immediate reactions to their actions weren't good or building up.

4 steps to discipline;

1. Look / Stop
2. Verbal - Positive peer pressure can come in at this step.
3. Time out
4. Go home, parent intervention

We also talked about how talking over them wasn't good. Another important thing is that after a child has had a timeout, it is important to reconcile with the youth.
