Distinguishing Propaganda from Prediction

Techcrunch posted something interesting today on the next big thing. According to the post, Apple doesn’t predict the future, it creates it. iFund doesn’t create the future, it funds it. So the article starts out telling you it’s bias and things don’t settle down from there. The climax of the story: “We’re going from the…

New Office Addition

So I have always wanted an aquarium and have never had the… whatever it takes to get one. Luckily for me, my wife loves me enough to know what I love and got me one for my birthday. This is a really small tank (6 gallons) but it is perfect for a starter for me…

Back Online

So I haven’t posted anything since last week. My server was hacked last Friday and I have just got it back up again. I am now with a new host (hostmonster.com) and have left my old one (siteground.com) whose tech support used to be really great and now is nonexistent. I’ll have more updates this…

Smitten

I have been blogging about a lot of deeper issues lately, so I decided to put a little levity into the mix. That, and I had this great visual from Maker today. It’s called the Smitten and it is for people who like holding hands but don’t want to brave the cold weather. This picture…

Twitterpated

This may come as a bit of a surprise to many of you, but I don’t use Twitter. Not only do I not use Twitter, but  don’t really ever plan to. I usually try to stay ahead of the curve on technology and this would be a good way to do that, but there are…

Play Informs Our Work

I just watched this really great TEDS video from the Serious Play Conference where Tim Brown about “the powerful relationship between creative thinking and play – with many examples you can try at home (and one that maybe you shouldn’t)”. In the talk he uses many examples, some of them play, to show how people…

New Way to Communicate With Teens

Those crazy guys over at Simply Youth Ministry have broken the teen barrier. It seems they have come up with a new way to communicate to teens called “txt”ing. I did some research and it seems that the mobile phone companies have been holding out on us. Apparently, most cell phones can send and receive…

Star Wars and Better

I am really lame. To start with, the first app I downloaded to my iPhone was the lightsaber. Not particularly useful, but impressive. Proof in the pudding is that when people see it, they don’t care about all the other really cool things it can do. So here I am one afternoon entertaining my girls…

Coolest Car Coming Soon

I had a conversation with one of my youth the other day about cars. He is soon to be turning sixteen and his parents are having him pay for half of his car. This is a bit uncommon for his area and a friend of his just got the new Infiniti sports coupe from his…

Deadly Viper Talks Sex

I have just stumbled upon a new site and group that I am really loving called – Deadly Viper. It takes a bit to capture my attention but they definitely have. How is the best part of it. 1. Their site looks amazing. I know all the common wisdom about judging a book by its…
