My new Twitter policy

While Twitter has helped me connect with a bunch of great people, it’s also added a little clutter to my life. Once I started following north of 50 people it became too much to keep up with. So I’m only following 50 from here on out (well, 52, I can’t stop following Darth Vader or [...]

Help promote WeTheChurch.org

WeTheChurch.org had a great first day. We had a lot more people than I expected show up and had some serious prayer requests come in.
But now the hard part…
We need all the help we can get from the blogosphere to help create a community around WeTheChurch.org. We need you to blog it, podcast it, Twitter [...]

Pray for the launch

UPDATE: The site is now live. Read all about it here.
WeTheChurch.org will be launching Monday morning. Please pray that the launch will go smoothly (from the technical side) and that it would make an impact in the ministry world.
I’m really excited about the potential it has. Look for a lot more here on Monday about [...]

The 50 Hour Challenge

Go check out the 50 Hour Challenge on Anne’s blog.
Go give 10 bucks. It’s for a good cause.
That’s what, two cups of coffee? Come on.

The Great Sushi Experiment

Today is just the day of technology not being in my corner. First Mogulus.com didn’t work when we needed to go live and now the video on Viddler doesn’t want to embed in this post. Probably all me, but oh well.
Either way, the much anticipated video is now live and can be viewed here.
Honestly it [...]

Always have a back-up (throw up) plan

So Mogulus.com seems to be taking a long weekend and not working. With it being down, The Great Sushi Experiment will no longer be live. Sort of.
Here’s what we’re going to do. I’ve got Dave coming to the house at noon. We’ll record the show, eat some sushi, throw up in a bucket (maybe) and [...]

Creative Chaos: The creative location edition

Today’s Creative Chaos topic: Outside the office, where do we find our personal creativity?
Me? I’ve found the location doesn’t matter so much as who’s there. There is nothing that gets me in the creative mood better than sitting around a table with other creative people talking ideas.
So I guess my place is around a table [...]

Nice try

On Twitter today I revealed the site address for Magenta Squirrel. Only I did it on the Magenta Squirrel Twitter page, which at this point almost no one knows about. I threw it out there and let everyone know they could find it if they tried.
And shortly after a few people reached my blog by searching for [...]

Magenta Squirrel is a go

I’ve been praying about an idea for a new site for a couple of weeks. As with most things the initial idea gets me excited, then it kicks around in my head for a while as I mull through all the options and possibilities.
With the help of Scott, I think one of those ideas is about [...]

Music Monday: The soundtrack edition

The Secret Life of Kat does a nice little feature every Monday asking bloggers to talk about their favorite music in various categories. Today’s? Movie soundtracks. I think I own as many movie soundtracks as I do regular music.
As far as soundtracks go, you cannot go wrong with The Last Kiss. I bought it last [...]

In which I pat myself on the back

Really nothing to see here. This isn’t the post you’re looking for. Move along. Move along.
But if you stayed…
The fact that people show up here every day to read things I write has always amazed me. But, believe it or not, it does happen. And this last week, it happened a lot (at least for [...]

The one where I vomit for an audience

YOU CAN VIEW THE VIDEO HERE.
So here’s how it works in my life. I have a select few things I love. Everything else is completely off my radar. In other words, I don’t try new things. Ever.
Trying new things only leads to disappointment. Lately, however, I’ve had this crazy urge to try sushi. I tried [...]

Searches that make you go “Hmmmm…”

The first in a series of posts highlighting things people search for to reach my blog. Specifically things that make you go “Hmmmm…”
Today’s popular search term (and I’m actually quite proud of this one):
“Assassin Training”
I’m not kidding. So to the person who came here looking for assassin training; you’ve come to the right place. Just [...]

Twitter

I’ve had this post waiting in the hopper for a while but was inspired by Tony’s post to finally throw it out there.
You can view my Twitter page here. I opened an account with Twitter a long time ago. After a few weeks of using it lightly I wondered what the big deal was. It’s [...]

My good…err…only side

Anne has an interesting post today about the differences between her blogging personality and her in-person personality. What’s really funny is I was just thinking about this yesterday. I saw a comment on a blog that was articulate and well thought out. It was from a person I’ve talked to a few times offline and [...]
