Did a nice photo shoot with the family on Friday. We had a blast! You may have noticed a bit of a “face lift” here on the blog as far as pictures go. I haven’t really had time to look through all 400 of the photos, but at first glance, here are a few favorites…

SLING to the iPhone!
Sorry, but it is good for me to totally GEEK OUT sometimes. And you may want to prepare yourself because Macworld is coming up, which means I’ll have Apple on the brain for a few weeks.
Speaking of geeking out, ALSO SEE THIS. The anticipation is building deep inside me…Macworld is my Christmas morning every year.
Saturday Night Thoughts
A few thoughts…
- My family went to Lubbock for Thanksgiving today. I am a sad sad man.
- Usually this is the part where I gripe about food because Amber is going to be gone…but Heather and Suzanne Gool brought me THREE HOME MADE LASAGNAS today!!! YES!!!
- It was really cool to get out there and serve some families today for Super Service Saturday. I was on the yardwork team…GREAT JOB TCC!
- I’m going to hit the BOLD button for this one…DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT miss church tomorrow. DO NOT MISS IT. We are sharing probably the BIGGEST announcement in TCC history tomorrow!
- Ben, Cole, and I are watching a movie right now called “Next.” Crazy movie…it has a magician with the stage name “Frank Cadillac” in it. I just want you to know that I was “CadillacZak” WAYYYYY before this movie came out!
- I ran 10 miles this morning in one hour and forty minutes flat. Not bad. I only have a TINY bit of time left to train for the event. See the countdown HERE.
- Did you know they have slurpee machines on the buffet at Gatti Town??? I drank about 3 gallons of slurpee tonight and now I am feeling it.
- Did I say to make sure that you DO NOT MISS CHURCH tomorrow???
- It’s going to be a stinky week without my family.
Why is Zak Shaking a Little Today?
Wow. What a crazy day. I wanted to blog earlier, but couldn’t. Here is why:
This morning I spent 2 hours on the phone with Applecare only to find out that our Powermac G5 at the office needs a new optical drive. No BIG deal, except for that our Applecare runs out in 5 days. And two of those days are weekend days, on which absolutely NOTHING happens in the way of repairs.
So I made a few calls, found an external hard drive I could borrow just big enough to grab about 10 gigs of files that I would need for the next week, copied the files, unplugged the computer, hoped in the car, and shot up to the Apple store to visit the Genius Bar. I LOVE the Apple store. If there is a place to get stuck dealing with crud THAT is the place. Plenty of stuff to keep me happy for hours.
I was there for about an hour, got incredible antsy and decided to put The Connection Church Website up on every stinking computer screen in the place. It was hilarious. Those guys were looking around like…”WHHHAAAATTT???” Also, it gave me some time to learn about Leopard while I waited.
When we were finally finished they made me sign a sheet of paper saying they weren’t responsible if our data gets damaged or erased…THAT SCARED THE CRUD OUT OF ME. Here is why it scares me: Every single sermon, graphic, video, website code, etc that we have ever done at TCC is on that machine.
So, tonight I blog for one simple reason…pray for the powermac as it goes into surgery.
Not really. Instead, pray that we will still be able to get everything done for our HUGE Commitment Sunday this weekend!
