Secret Invasion Ads, Remixed

Have you heard of Secret Invasion, the latest lineup in the MCU’s Disney+ shows? The first episode only just aired this past week and I gotta say I like what I’ve seen so far. If you have heard of the show, I’m sure you’ve encountered the visually fractured ads that have been all over the internet the past few weeks. Well, Redditor King-Owl-House remixed these ads to include other characters the actors have played in the past with great results. Check them out!

Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Fury and Jules Winnfield:

Cobie Smulders, Maria Hill and Robin Scherbatsky (aka Robin Sparkles):

If Jesus Had Been Korean

During the Korean War, Korean artist Woonbo Kim Ki-chang began a series of ink paintings depicting the life of Jesus using his own country as the backdrop. “I was praying for the quick end of the Korean War and a unified peace, and soothed my painful mind with a paintbrush,” he later said.

Kim passed away in 2001, but his work was featured at a museum in Seoul in 2013. The paintings are by no means historically or Biblically accurate, but are meant to symbolize the fact that Jesus came for all cultures and ethnicities. Some have called these painting “shameless,” but I love the transcultural depiction of God in them. What do you think?

Late to the Mobile Game

I may be a technology- and gadget-loving geek, but there are some topics that cause me to be bullheaded in my old-fashioned ways. Physical books over e-books/e-readers. Text over videos. (I hate it when I click over to a promising article to discover that I would need to watch a video to see what it's about. Also, no vlogging or Vine for me.) And websites' desktop views over mobile views.Yes, even when browsing the web on my phone, I prefer to view every site as they were originally designed. I appreciate good design. I want to see these designs on my phone, even if it means a longer loading time.So I put off creating a mobile version of this blog for quite some time, knowing full well...
