Yes, I did take these pictures. I can show them to you on my camera. But I didn’t take the originals. They were all hanging in the Arlington Welcome Center and looked great on my camera so I thought I might try some trick ...

Went 11-5 last week but still fell another game back from first. This is getting harder and harder. I’m sitting tied for 7th just waiting for that perfect 16-0 week so I can regain some ground. 102-58 is where I stand now six games back from the leader. In other breaking news, the Falcons lost. So, I’ll be turning my attention elsewhere and maybe watching out my peripheral vision to see whether Coach Patrino sticks ...

A few years back my family started a tradition of taking a short two day trip up to NYC after the Thanksgiving feast. With kids and both sets of Grandparents living so close, we have to make sure and squeeze time in for everyone before we head out of town. Our typical routine now is to have an enormous breakfast with Jamie’s family in the morning, head up to my parent’s for the actual turkey, ...

Lauren sang a bit more and I laid down some parts on top of myself. Seeing as how I sound a lot like myself, some of those takes may get cut or tweaked enough so I don’t sound like me anymore.

It is actually pretty sad to write this is the 12th day in the studio and we still have a ton more to do. For all of you unfamiliar with the process, unless your part of those teams that ...

We had some problems getting everything to work like it should in the studio last night so no boys choir to report yet. Lauren Boyd is over here today sharing her vocal talents on the project. She is not a veteran in the studio but that is not to slam her skills. It will not be long before she will be.

Not much going on today. I’m at my brother’s house listening down to what we have so far and waiting for him to get here so we can start to record some BGVs (back ground vocals in case you didn’t know). I’ve decided I’m not really going to do the choir thing since the only song I really hear it on, Jesus’ Blood, I want to try and get a boys choir to do. Well, guess what, they don’t make ...

Michael asked me to start writing about the songs we sing and the production elements that go into every Sunday service – as if I don’t have enough things I’m trying to discipline myself to write about (anybody remember the last music review I did?). He wanted me to post it on the behindtheleaf.com blog site so if you read that one too, you might see this twice. Why? Well, Michael writes on like ten blogs, but I have ...

What happened last week? The Colts got beat by the Chargers? The Saints got taken by the 0-8 Rams? Atlanta won again? It was like everything got turned upside down. So many upsets there wasn’t anyone who did great this week. Tied for 5th right now which doesn’t say much because there are six of us in the same place. With my totals now at 92-52, I’m only 5 games back from first. But that is ...

With a tight budget, I had to make cuts across the board to pull off the media package without sacrificing too much quality. Since I knew there was no way I was going to even be able to financially stay in the HD ball park, first thing to go was the quality chain from the computer to the projector. To maintain the 1400×900 resolution coming from the computer, I’d have to have all sorts of digital splitters, scalers, and switchers ...

There are several different ways to get multiple screens to do what we wanted them to do, but most of them are EXTREMELY expensive. It is all because we wanted the ability to show different images, the same image, AND one image across all three screens. The cherry on top was that we also wanted to be able to key in lyrics (cut out the background color so just the lyrics show over the video) to songs so they would ...
