Guest Post: Velvet Elvis Review

For THE REACTOR's first guest post, my friend Isaac has written a review of Emergent Poster Boy Rob Bell's book "Velvet Elvis." Isaac is a firefighter, a language-studier, a fencer, a philosopher, a good friend, and an all-around jack-of-all-trades, so I trust his judgement and endorse what he says below 100%.

Shuffleboard 10

1. "'Ta-Ta Charlie" by Michael Giacchino from LOST Season 3
In what was certainly one of the most emotional parts of LOST, Michael Giacchino wrote some of the most emotional music as well. This sparse but strongly emotional (one of Giacchino's strong points) piano-and-string piece is played right before Charlie sets off to sacrifice himself for the sake of the other survivors. It was an extremely sad episode, and Giacchino wrote an extremely touching score to it. Charlie's music is some of my favorite in the whole series.

The Three-Dimensional Gimmick

Home 3D is the next big thing, if you listen to the entertainment and gadget world (or rather, the bigwigs that run the companies that run the entertainment and gadget world). If you listen to common sense, it's a giant load of hooey.

The Oil Spill's Other Story

An oil rig exploded in early May and is still leaking tons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It's a horrifying ordeal, and one that will likely replace the Exxon Valdez as the Most Notorious Oil Spill in history. Political activists, mostly liberal, have jumped on the spill and Obama himself has threatened BP (the company that owned the rig) and told them he's "holding them responsible." Overall, it's a huge boon for environmentalists who hate Big Oil.
But that's not the whole story.

New Blog!

Yes, I'm super bloggy. I've got so much blog in me that I had to start another blog.
But seriously folks, I started a new blog called Caleb Needs A Job to help promote myself during this ever-lengthening job hunt.
So tell your friends, tell your bosses, tell your potential employers, that Caleb has a blog, and Caleb Needs A Job!
