United Airlines Breaks Guitars
I really hate it when companies do irresponsible things and then think they can screw over the individual and not accept the responsibility for their actions. Here’s one great example of this. If you so desire to, repost this video and help Dave spread his story of how United Airlines has treated him. [...]
Media Overload
I was looking through some old blog posts and noticed something either remarkable or completely pathetic. I am unsure which it is.
In a blog post dated May 7, 2007 I mentioned that my current iTunes Library was holding at the following levels:
3728 Songs (12-days 13-hours 37-mins 30-sec | 7.69Gb)
33 Movies (03-hours 13-mins 24-sec | [...]
Street Music
Street Music from William Hartz on Vimeo.
One thing I love about living so close to New York is all the interesting people you meet on the street when going into the City. I remember seeing homeless men dressed up like Big Bird laying on the side of the road, people selling pick-up lines for a [...]
iTunes Saturday, v11.0
Busy, busy day. So busy, in fact, that I probably shouldn’t be sitting here typing this. It’s Retreat week. I leave this coming Thursday afternoon to setup, build the set, and get everything ready for the kids to come up on Friday night. There is still so much work to do. [...]
Saturday iTunes v10.0
So I’m doing this “Saturday iTunes” entry much later than I normally do… if I do it at all. In fact, it’s so late that it’s almost Sunday as I’m typing this.
Anyway. Today was a good day. I woke up and finished editing down a video that I’ve been working on. [...]
Saturday iTunes v9.0
I’m sitting here with my Bigelow French Vanilla tea (my favorite… so good) as my brother and Romulo play Rock Band 2 across the room. An unnamed bassist (not related to me) keeps losing on System of a Down’s B.Y.O.B. I keep getting asked to come fill in to pass the song, but [...]
Saturday iTunes v8.0
It’s back! After a short hiatus (of about 8 months) I’m going to try to keep up with posting Saturday iTunes every week. This Saturday has been a slow one. I’ve mostly been working on the computer, editing photos, and enjoying some nice french vanilla tea (so good). It’s snowing out, [...]
NYWC: YS Podcast, featuring… us!
So here’s this week’s YS Podcast (episode #12), recapping NYWC Pittsburgh. There’s some concert footage, of which I had the honor of recording some. Make sure you check out the MercyMe shots to see the work of my shaky hand.
Also, there’s a lot of interviews mixed into the show from [...]
NYWC: Starfield – Hosanna (Live)
NYWC: Starfield – Hosanna (Live) from William Hartz on Vimeo.
I’ve been helping Youth Specialties to live blog their 2008 National Youth Worker’s Convention in Pittsburgh, and they set up a table for us to be stationed at inside the tech booth. While there, I propped my camera up and recorded some of Starfield leading the [...]
NYWC Pittsburgh: New Ministry Models and Chai
Friday, Oct 31, 2008. And so it begins. For real.
NYWC officially began today. But before that, we still had to finish up our Critical Concern Course. I begrudgingly woke up early and made my way to the 8:30 start time for part 2 of The Present Future of Youth Ministry. [...]
