I found this article terribly compelling (thanks to Daniel Eng for the heads up) – especially the following snippet – this has everything to do with defining * success * in church, or entrepreneurship, or just plain life: Read more…
The market is flooded w/ religious bloggers, of which I am complicit.
So just had a great convo w/ Ron Pai and the RCC staff about technology in the church and how it’s revolutionizing Christendom, much like the Gutenberg press had done centuries before. I mean, think about it; other than business folks and scholars, who uses technology more than the Church? Blogging, twitter, skype, you name it, religious technophiles comprise an important and large segment of the technosphere. Enter the idea of “statewhores” or in more accurate parlance, “stathoe’s” (did I spell that right?) who are basically in it just to get noticed, trying to rack up stats on their websites. But isn’t that what the game’s about? Getting noticed? Read more…
Google Latitude’s gotten its share of criticism lately about the potential invasion of privacy it elicits; I don’t see what the problem is, you have the option to “hide your location” (see below). But I’ve found Google latitude uber-cool and uber useful – here’s 3 ways: Read more…
Will be preaching this Sunday @RCC about vocation and the theology of work. It’s also a great topic to gripe – err.. blog about. Sure people have a love / hate relationship with their work – where do u stand?

But tell me – do you love / hate what you do, and why?

This holiday season there’s been a lot of buzz about nothing.
Specifically, buying nothing. Can’t help but wonder if somewhere subconciously it’s easier for us to advocate this concept now that the economy is stalling and we’re celebrating buy nothing day everyday anyway, but that’s a question I have for u economics types. Isn’t a “buy nothing” day a bad thing for the economy? Or is a buy nothing day exactly what we need since it was the over-consumerism that got us into trouble in the first place?
Who suffers more: the entrepreneur or the spouse (in this case, wife) of the entrepreneur?
Great great article from a wife’s perspective of a guy who ran a business into the ground, revived it, suffered, and finally made it big after a decade. And she was nucking futs enough to stay with the dude. As a chronic addict of the future possibilities, it was a great read to see what goes on in the mind of a wife of said chronic. She likens it to being a passenger in a truck on a windy road. It’s rare the driver gets sick, but the passenger who feels nausea most acutely. So I’m recommending this article to anyone who rides shotgun with a crazy person who constantly has their head in the future, risks everything on faith, and has to always do things “outside the box”.
