Conference: The Desiring God conference blog is reporting that registration for the Desiring God conference is at 90% capacity. It is going to be a good one. If you are thinking of signing up, you’d better do so in the next couple of days. Even if you don’t go, you can poach your ticket outside and make some money!

Blog: The Rebelution boys have updated their site and have done a great job of it. If you’re a teen, this is a blog you’ll want to bookmark.

Da Vinci: Here’s an interesting headline: “Da Vinci coders vandalise church.” “Treasure hunters trying to crack the Da Vinci Code are believed to be behind criminal damage at a village church with links to the Holy Grail.” Sigh.

Humor: Ian shares an oldie but a goodie. It’s a video showing Al Mohler pitting his wits against an inferior opponent.

Tim, I actually discipled that guy sitting across from Dr. Mohler when he was in high school. I should be proud. These guys (both Rhett and Link were in a church student ministry I spent time with in 1996) actually are doing a pretty bang up job doing some video/comedy/evangelism training gigs around the country. They are a bit wacky - but they are real solid guys.

Look at what you’ve done, Tim!

They started making videos for their Web site. They drew a worldwide following after fans posted them on YouTube, productions like “Pimp My Stroller.”

Producers for “Online Nation” called this year, wanting to use some of their videos. They also said they were looking for people from the online community to serve as hosts.

“I guess they were desperate because they picked us,” says McLaughlin.

“We’ve taken an unconventional path every step of the way. Like when you get punished by your teacher and it inspires you. We get engineering degree and we think that makes us comedians. We get our videos on the Internet and get a call to host a network TV show. Isn’t that how everyone does it?”

It’s been an odd journey for the hosts of “Online Nation,” debuting 7:30 p.m. Sunday (on the CW).
