Explorations into theology, technology, leadership, and culture.
If I may toot my own horn for a moment (toot toot!), Godbit, a site I contribute to from (rare) time to time was recently inducted into the 9rules network*. There was even a nice write-up about Godbit on their blog by 9rules’s man, Shawn Anthony. If the Christian faith ever needed a handful of […]
(I’m a little late on this one but I wanted to check the studies out for myself before commenting.) Sean Carton on the recent study by Carleton University about Web site aestheitcs. Researchers at Carleton University in Ottawa recently discovered that users make judgments about Web site design in as few as 50 milliseconds (a […]
Missed An Event Apart – Philadelphia? Well, here’s a 2 minute highlight reel for you. Both times they show the crowd, I am JUST outside of the frame. (The guy shooting the video was right next to my rwo.). Probably reaaally dull and boring to non-Web-geeks. What’s funny is, the part where Eric Meyer is […]
Gmail has recently added a “Web clips” section to their Webmail (or is that a function of me having google desktop installed?). It usually provides mildly interesting related links associated with your e-mail. This was hillarious though. As seen while purging my spam folder. mmmm. Spam Webmail, email, spam, google, gmail
Mr. Zeldman has a beautiful editorial over at A List Apart regarding all the hype around “Web 2.0”. A particularly inspiring quote: …ours is a medium in which, more often than not, big teams have slowly and expensively labored to produce overly complex web applications whose usability was near nil on behalf of clients with […]
I love the graphic design of XXXchurch.com. I also love their mission and ministry. They provide services (especially x3watch) that are very helpful to Christian men and women. While they are a bit late-nineties in their code and other techniques, this site has a great, progressive feel to it. Maybe someday they’ll let me re-code […]
My Web host: Dreamhost just quadrupled my server space. Actually they just quadrupled ALL of their clients’ server space. I now have 20 GIGS of server space on my hosting account (I have the smallest plan). They also OCTUPLED my bandwidth!!!! I have 1 Terabyte a month bandwidth. I’m floored. Thank you Dreamhost. Also, the […]
Flyer created to promote The Rock‘s spring series. The Rock is an outreach of Stonebrook Community Church aimed at 20-somethings and college students. *update* we changed the wording slightly. I like this one better.
Web accessibility is about universal access. It is the idea that any user should be able to access all content on the Web, regardless of platform, user agent, or physical disability. This is not some lofty philosophical ideal. It is just plain good business. As with usability, accessibility is not a binary thing. While accessibility […]
Apparently I’m waaaay behind in seeing this, but Bruce Clay has a very handy chart describing the relationships of the different search engines. bruceclay.com – Search Engine Relationship Chart ®
A community and resource site for musicians and production coordinators in the Great Commission Association. This is a little pet project of mine in order to foster communication and share ideas with others who are doing the same thing I am doing with music in Ames, IA. The coolest part about this is the custom […]
This last session was fairly amazing, though there isn’t much to sum up here. This is what I came to the conference for, to watch Jason Santa Maria and Eric Meyer walk through their design and development process. There weren’t a whole lot of notes to take. It’s something you have to see in person, […]
