- Ainsley and I got more free movie tickets for Christmas than we have babysitters.
- This week is all about organizing the office and buttoning-down financial records. Someone shoot me.
- There's a free iPhone app for Behance's The Action Method. It amounts to a digital to-do list however.
- Iconic reformed pastors believe in great design and media. They just save it for their conferences.
- The Office is funny because those characters are real. I've met them in real life.
- Reading the bestseller Confederates in the Attic, which is such a disturbing picture of racism in America.
- Picked up the Making of Where The Wild Things Are. Didn't love the movie, but amazed by how they did it.

Ben, I love your blog. First heard you at Catalyst and now am following you here.
1. Like you, I've lived the Office.
2. Your New Year's confession is my glad reality normally around 9 PM since I'm west coast and ball drops early for us.
Ben, love what you're doing and how you're doing it.

I know this has nothing to do with your post but,have you seen Avatar? I really liked it. Beautiful piece of art. I also loved the movie Precious. Did you see it? I think many people will think it couldn't possibly be a realistic depiction of life for many girls in the inner cities, but it is all too real actually. It was disturbing but in a good way if that makes sense. I work with MANY Precious' at the Dream Center so the movie really resinated with me.

Carole, i haven't seen either one of those, but not for lack of desire. We've got 3 amazing little boys at home, but we're still trying to find babysitters. We've been away too long. ugh =(
