I thought this video is appropriate in light of a couple of posts back.. It’s part of the Plain English Series: Wikis in Plain English I used email in the coordination of our Student Sunday service at Bel Air this last June. Big mistake. Email is terrible as they state in coordinating stuff. I’ve been [...]

Big Blue Embraces Social Media Adapting these tools, according to IBM, is also important for recruiting. Hotshots coming out of universities are accustomed to working across these new networks—and are likely to look at a company that still relies on the standard ’90s fare of e-mail and the phone as slow and backward. I still [...]

This last week I have been video streaming, reading blogs and following Twitters about the PC(USA)-218th General Assembly in San Jose, CA. If you are involved with the denomination then it can be somewhat interesting…at times. Otherwise, it can be quite tedious.

My great friend and former co-worker RO Smith always “complements” me for being a co-nurterer of my daughter along with my wife.

I take all that with a great [...]

Irony: streaming shot of hundreds of laptops at #GA218…all unconnected to the world. Metaphor for the PCUSA? That’s the quote I came across by Neal Locke on Twitter last night. He was commenting on PC(USA)-218th General Assembly, and I thought it was a brilliant observation. One can’t help watch the 218th General Assembly, or have [...]

I came across this over at Wess’ blog. Great stuff. I can’t imagine going on The Colbert Report and actually trying to get a serious word in. New Testament scholar and Anglican Bishop N.T. Wright does a a good job with Colbert. At least he has a sense of humor, because I can’t imagine too [...]

On Tuesday afternoon I went to coffee with Chris Capehart, one of the co-founders of ROOV. I told Chris when we met that I wasn’t quite sure what to think of ROOV when I heard about it. 1) One more social networking site seems like one too many right now. 2) I don’t like Christians [...]
