Two things:
1. If you are remotely close to me, you've heard me talk about Andrew Peterson. Most likely I raved about his songwriting or just his writing ability in general. If you are still delaying in tasting of his work, be ashamed. Be very ashamed. But don't let your shame weigh you down. Almost all of his work can be found online at the Rabbit Room. STOP PUTTING IT OFF. GO BUY SOMETHING OF HIS. ANYTHING. I don't work for Andrew. I get no commission. I just want everyone to know how much I have been blessed by his work and that I think you will be blessed too. And since Christmas is right around the corner, go ahead and get his CD titled Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ. DO IT.
2. If you have yet to click on the link on the right side of this blog which leads to the Rabbit Room, it is a fine place to wander to. This podcast helps explain what the Rabbit Room is. I visit the site with a frequency of about 1.1574e-005 Hz, sometimes double that.

Danes and Saints
Last week I had the priveledge of attending Bruel & Kjaer University in Copenhagen, Denmark. It's really just a sort of training class for new employees of the company. The classes covered a broad range of topics, from technical explanations of how accelermeters work to company marketing strategies. We also got to tour some sweet areas of HQ like the clean room where the condenser mics are made. Although I already knew a lot about the technical presentations, I learned a bit about company business and more importantly, I became (even more) pumped up to be working for B&K.
The best part about Denmark is the people! It seems like everyone I met there is good looking, friendly, smart, and funny. And guys, if your preference is blondes, Denmark is your jackpot. Seriously though, I enjoyed time spent with the people there way more than the time I spent sightseeing.
Here is an album of some pictures I took in Copenhagen. You gotta be a facebooker to see em though.
The 10 hour plane ride to and fro provided me with ample opportunity to finish reading a book I have been enjoying immensely as of late. The book is Godric, by Frederick Buechner. I hesitate to tell that the story revolves around a 12th century saint because such a premise sounds dry and dull. Godric is no such book. Although it is based on this historical character, Buechner brings the story to life by filling in the gaps that history leaves out. And really my primary enjoyment with the book came from Buechner's writing style, not the plot (although the story is great too). He is just as much a poet as an author. This book is already in my top 5. Here is a good review of the book. Go buy it!
