Man, some big stuff happened this week and I’m excited about it. Last night I had a get together with some buddies to test out some ideas and it went really well. It is still in the testing phase and I’m not really going to give much info out here, but if you are curious as to what I’m testing out and if you can be involved, head to the About The Digitante page and fill out the contact form and I’ll send you more information.

Now for the links and a ton of videos, assuming three videos weigh more than one ton.

See a Sonic Boom (http://thedig.in/br) – This is some pretty amazing stuff. When you first watch it, you think it is a special effect, but it is absolutely real. Also, here is some information on Sundogs. Be sure to check out some of the related videos when you get done with this one. Note if you click through, you can watch it full screen in HD (or maybe below, I don’t know).

Church Ratings (http://thedig.in/bs) – Having moved a number of times in my life (to Indiana, college x4, Chicago, Seattle, and back to Indy), I always found it difficult to find a church each time I’ve moved. I ended up heading from church to church trying to find something that fit my needs. A couple of weeks here, a couple of weeks there and I started to lose interest. There aren’t a ton of churches rated at this point, but you can help by rating yours. Needless to say, this site has been the focus of quite a bit of controversy.
Dominance Displays (http://thedig.in/bt) – I didn’t know what to expect when I saw this posting on Marginal Revolution. Let me just say that the marching in the first video is outstanding. And the animals in the second have some pretty good showings too. Especially that little bird with the red head and the yellow pants. As a side note, that bordercrossing shown is the only border crossing between India and Pakistan. Pretty amazing if you check out how long it is on a map.

Beer Cans for Sun King (http://thedig.in/bu) – A new brewery opened in the heart of downtown Indianapolis last summer called Sun King Brewery. It is the only locally owned brewery in downtown Indianapolis and up until now, the only way to get their beer home was in jugs called growlers. Once you open a growler, you have about a day or two before it starts to go bad. No longer! Sun King just picked up a canning line and will have cans on the shelf in the next few weeks. Head to your local liquor store and tell them you want Sun King in cans!
