A couple of weeks ago I posted about one of my childhood staples, Ecto Cooler.
Well, good news everyone! It’s still available on store shelves today as “Orange Lavaburst.” It’s lost its formerly Slimer-esque green tint, but it tastes just like I remember it.
Tony and I went to the Apple store the other day as he ponders a switch to a Mac.
So, I just figured I post these two articles for him and anyone else thinking of moving over.
Tips for Switching from Walt Mossberg and Mac 101.

Step one: Take pictures
Take them everywhere in [...]
Notice the disclaimer in the top right that says this blog is about what interests me. Well this is one of those times, so you’ll just has to stick with me while I remember one of the joys of my childhood…Ecto Cooler.
Today I was walking through the kitchen and a memory of Ecto Cooler popped [...]
I had a couple of people on Twitter ask to see a picture of my newly cleaned office so here you go. If you’re like me, you have a fascination with people’s workspaces. (If you aren’t like me, that’s probably normal.)
I also submitted the shot to WhereWeDoWhatWeDo.com. I love this site. So many looks [...]
Interesting things I’ve found lately:
WhereWeDoWhatWeDo.com
My new favorite site. I have this odd obsession with seeing pictures of people’s workspaces. It’s even better with all the Apple products and cool desks around. When I get my office cleaned (finally) I’ll put mine on there too.
Los asks, Cute or Disturbing?
I say very cute with just a pinch [...]
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.

I love seeing churches come together.
Adobe launches Photoshop Express online.
I haven’t tried it yet, but the idea of a stripped-down, but free version of Photoshop online is interesting. Just remember, it does not make you a designer.
Twitter saving lives.
Told you it wasn’t useless.

If this is fake, then I applaud the people behind it. Very funny. If it’s real….Tony, I think we’ve found the company to hire to get our video production rolling.
Sadly the website at the end of the video isn’t currently working.
Chris Elrod linked to a site that will rate your blog based on readability and measures it by academic reading levels.
The good news? My blog is readable to a broad range of people.
The bad news? If you don’t understand what I write…well, it might be time to look into those remedial reading classes the nearest [...]

This commercial featuring Michael Bay for Verizon FiOS is great for fans of his movies. The concept is so obvious, yet so creatively perfect. The idea that everything around Michael Bay’s house is rigged to blow at the press of switch is hilarious.

A quick reminder to click the photo in the sidebar to the right to read write-ups of what’s happening with the bloggers in Uganda right now.
I was reading the stories today and thinking, “I need to check and see if we can afford to sponsor some kids.”
Then it hit me. I can’t afford not to [...]
A series on Having Tough Conversations from LifeChurch.tv.
Every leader should read this. I think most problems in church could be avoided with open and honest conversations.
Prodigal Jon. If you’re not reading him, you probably should be.
