Explorations into theology, technology, leadership, and culture.
An interesting question came up in my “empty your inbox” post. Similar to a messy inbox, my new distraction is unread tweets in tweetie. How do you handle twitter? Do you put it off until certain times or keep up with it all day? Simple answer: I don’t. Twitter is an information luxury to me. […]
You will probably not question the fact that e-mail causes you stress. Anecdotal evidence, nascent research, and my own personal experience is saying that it is currently one of the greatest causes of stress in the workplace. I have a suggestion. It’s not the email itself that causes the stress, it’s the fact that you […]
A couple weeks ago at the Gospel Coalition Conference, I was fortunate to attend the Band of Bloggers lunch and hear some high profile bloggers speak a bit about different aspects of blogging as a Christian. For some reason, I couldn’t help but think of what I might share, given such an opportunity. What follows […]
Well, co-wrote. That’s a different animal. I’m pretty excited about Foundation Fireworks CS4 by Grant Hinkson, Craig Erskine, Chuck Mallott, Matthew Keefe, Hugh Griffith, and Myself. I have been using Fireworks my entire career as a Web designer. It is by far my design tool of choice. I’ve followed it from it’s earliest versions through […]
Today I was pointed at the Amazon Mp3 Download page for U2’s newest: No Line on the Horizon. $3.99!!!! That is an AMAZING price for an album! It’s an introductory price for the release day. Probably U2 willing to take a bit of an economic hit to post big numbers on the first day. Also […]
_This is a post for my religion geek friends (though those interested in cultural studies in general might find it interesting too)_. I just read an interesting book by Ed Stetzer, Lost and Found: The Younger Unchurched and the Churches that reach them.. I consider myself a bit of a student of the culture we […]
Elizabeth Gilbert put together one of the best talks I’ve seen in quite a while. Well worth 20 minutes when you get a chance. Prior to the Renaissance, prior to “rational” humanistic thought, people spoke of “having a genius” rather than “being a genius”. This was news to me. Genius is etymologically related to the […]
Not sure they are the first or only group doing this, but it is the first loud buzz I’ve seen come into my circles. Lifechurch.TV, renowned (in emerging, evangelical, church circles) for their innovative use of the Internet and social media technology has implemented Google’s Translator API into their chat rooms. Make it possible for […]
Found this gem. A news report from 1981 describing an early “Internet”. Funny to think that this is now mainstream in a way they didn’t even imagine yet. (Via Noel.)
A neat little write-up on the way that whitehouse.gov is coded, focusing on optimization, SEO, architecture, etc.
Before I list reasons four, five, and six, I realized I did not do so good a job giving a basis for my non-God-likeness at each point. One comment was made on the last point about our being made in God’s image. I do not intend to give a defense of the Christian doctrine of […]
