Don’t know what to wear? Consider a Faveur t-shirt!

Bryan Atwood who founded Faveur with his brother James explains in this interview on Infuze: “...we look at the verse in Revelation 12:11, which says, 'They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.' It was our idea to create something where you can share your testimony and you can have a conversation with someone rather than just billboard evangelism.”

Their cool designs caught the eye of Laura Moody, art director for the Museum of Design, Atlanta. She invited them to be part of an exhibit which was designed to show that the t-shirt is the new billboard. As James explains: “They are the new canvas. They're the new graffiti. It's become a whole culture, like you said. It's an expression of whoever you are, what music you listen to, your faith, your likes and dislikes or the books you read.”

In the bio they sent in for the show, the brothers said: "This is who we are. We're a faith-based clothing line and these are expressions of our faith in Christ." That bio went on display, along with four samples.

Check out t-shirt designs. Most designs also contain a link to the ‘lyrics’ - i.e. what the design means.

Don’t know what to watch? Watch nesting eagles - again!

An eagle cam in Maine is trained on a nesting pair which laid eggs on March 5th and 8th. You can watch live streaming video - two links on that page - but limited to 2 minutes. The home page has a still shot that refreshes every 15 seconds. (These birds are certainly rocking and roiling in a storm today!) Hatching comes after about 35 days of incubation.

There is also a blog which is updated about once a week. This post contains a link to a video that caught the laying of the second egg (6 minutes).
