There has been a little talk today on Twitter about making campaigns better. My original question was what would it look like if politicians weren’t allowed to run ads of any kind? What if they simply had to campaign their butts off?
How different would the landscape look? How much would people’s opinions of politics change?
Then [...]

MobileMe wins a little love
So I haven’t been crazy about MobileMe ever since it’s problematic launch. The web apps part hasn’t been quite as snappy as promised which has led to little use from me. So basically I use to for over-the-air syncing of all my machines and my iPhone.
But it won a little more love from me tonight [...]

Quote of the day
My Twitter-friend Dustin on staying accountable via Twitter:
“I have 500 people, some spam robots and some porn linkers to hold me accountable. A shady group of folk but a good group nonetheless.”
Anyone who uses Twitter knows the truth behind that. The rest of you, move along, there’s nothing to see here.

Do what you know
Everyone seems to lament the fact that Apple doesn’t make a sub-$500 machine. Analysts can’t make a report on Apple without bringing it up. People considering switching always complain that they “can’t afford it.”
The fact is, Apple just doesn’t want to do a cheap, do-nothing machine. They want all their machines to be able to [...]

Nicole and Storm’s engagement session

I love seeing couples so comfortable with each other. That’s what love is all about. Having someone you can completely be yourself in around. Nicole and [...]

Living on buzz alone
For weeks I’ve been craving a Cinnabon.
Various people in my life have been talking back and forth about Cinnabon and how great they are. All that sweet awesomeness. The “fresh baked, all day” promise was enticing.
So after lunch today with Tony I decided to try a Cinnabon for the first time. I’d heard so much [...]

But what will it look like on me?
Today I was buying a new shirt from Zazzle. It will be my election day shirt.
The part I really found cool about the Zazzle experience, though, was the simple fact that you can see the shirt on different models with different body types. Just click the “see this on a different model” button. Wow. Turns [...]

Social media circles
I’m curious about what social media circles you walk in.
I can group all my online friends into boxes. I do a lot of discussion among pastors and ministry types. I’m relatively active in the creative design and photography community. Recently I’ve been talking to a lot more people about social media itself.
The fun part is [...]

Had one surgery and two expensive trips to the ER.
Created WeTheChurch.org.
Become a huge fan of Twitter.
Signed Becca up and actually found she likes [...]

This has been fun for me for a lot of reasons. One, Scott and I work very well together. Two, I love the iPhone. Three, I love Backpack which is the entire point of [...]
