I practically peed my pants…
Starting a fire under kindle sales…
The Amazon Kindle© (which, I’ve previously bashed here before) is growing with potential in my mind. I’ve recently gotten into audio books. I wonder if I could get into the ebooks? I like that it is a wifi device, so you can browse the net, look at blogs, and listen to audio through it. So far, the problem with Amazon’s business model with the kindle is the lack of ability to get it in my hands. So, as brilliant as Amazon has been at creating the online marketplace, they have missed the mark so far with this one. I just don’t think you can create a revolutionary hand-held device and not give people a way to get it in their hands… Posted in tech | 5 Comments 3 Ways to Maintain Your Identity.
Last week I shared 3 Easy Ways to Lose Your Identity. This week, I thought I’d flip it around. Maintaining your identity essentially means you will be intentional about looking on the outside like you really are on the inside. 1. In the words of Buddha, “Be One With Everything.”
2. In the words of Outkast, “So Fresh, So Clean.”
3. In the words of Madonna, “Express Yourself!”

I’m such a nimrod with css, but I can’t stand these wordpress templates… I’m designing my blog tonight. Anybody want to cut up the css for a Wordpress Template from an Illustrator file for me? I don’t want to pay for it. But maybe I figure out how to do it myself…much faster if you help me though… Posted in Design | No Comments Forced to Breath
I’ve got some new recipes over at TastyPlanner.com
The ups and few downs of Keynote.
I hate sounding like an Apple fanboy all the time, but it’s hard when you’ve worked on both sides and can easily see the advantage of the Apple experience. I don’t usually have to do much in Power Point, but when I do, I hate it. Today, I had to throw together a “state of the church” slideshow for a meeting on Sunday. I decided to use Keynote instead of Power Point. Wow. What a better user experience. Almost everything is easier in Keynote than on PP. Apple did a great job. I’m using one of their built in templates. When it came down to making a chart, I could believe how simple they made it. It was also so easy to make it look professional, that I didn’t even try to “design” a slideshow, I just used the template.
Downs:

I’ve been obsessed with creating new recipes lately. A few weeks back it was Salmon with Ginger Orange Glaze, Last week it was Asian Lettuce Wraps.This week, I made my mark with Caprese Mozz Burgers. The picture isn’t so great; mostly because I ate half of it, before I remembered I wanted to take a picture. But you can tell what’s going on…The recipe is loosely based on this Elvis Burger from Jamie Oliver. Here’s the Recipe (I never measure, so I’m just guessing, sorry):

Play Pump…Innovation through play.
Guy Kawasaki points to the “Cleverest idea he’s seen in years.” Check out the video of the Play Pump. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQu_Jppvzyk&rel=1&border=1] Innovation comes through many channels. Clearly, in someone’s mind watching the wheels of a pump spin, they reached back to the days of their youth and remembered these wheels spinning. In the book, “A Whole New Mind,” Daniel Pink talks about PLAY as one of the six senses or aptitudes of the future right-brain ruled economy. Joy comes from play. Jesus wants us to make our joy complete (see John 15:11) in him. Joy and play go hand in hand. When was the last time we set out to party as a church. To play together. To share God’s joy with one another. When was the last time we played together to get inspired, to imagine, to innovate. It sounds fun to me. Posted in Leaving Mediocre Behind, links | No Comments I promise not to get all Obama crazy on this blog…
However, I can’t believe how well done this video is… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fZHou18Cdk&rel=1&border=1] I couldn’t turn it off. Imagine building your entire brand on the hope for something better. On the hope that we want to take care of each other. On the reality that if we don’t actively participate in our future, the future will be dictated to us. Sound like anyone you know? Posted in Branding, Communications | 2 Comments Obama picks up 3 more states
One of the many differences between Barack and Hillary are their websites. Who in the world designed Barack’s site? It’s beautiful. It’s clear, from the get go, Barack has had a very clear strategy on the web reaching out to a younger more web 2.0 audience. And it’s worked. I can’t recite verbatim the numbers I’ve read over the last few weeks, but it’s clear, he’s been right on with creating a grassroots campaign through the under 40 crowd and has raised insane amounts of money, with insane numbers of contributors on the web. It becomes clear when you look at the two sites next to each other. While Clinton’s site isn’t horrible, I find things more distracting on the site. There’s so many levels trying to attract attention, that I inevitably don’t land anywhere. These sites actually match up with their personalities. Clinton’s is a bit louder, Obama’s a bit more serene. Clinton’s tries to have the gooey web 2.0 feel, but misses the mark with a color palette that is bit too traditional. Obama’s nails the color palette and has an ethereal feel which really does fall on the message of hope that he tries to convey. I’m not announcing anything new, but our web strategy at the church will be evolving over the course of 2008. I hope we land on our target audience a bit more solidly, and offer more reasons to keep coming back… Posted in Branding, Web | 2 Comments Some things on joost that rock:

Posted in General | 1 Comment Obama gaining
Isn’t amazing how little those early numbers mean?Last Summer, Giuliani was leading on the republican side, and Obama had half the percentage as Clinton. I’m amazed at the poll numbers going into Super Tuesday where nationally, Obama and Clinton are in a virtual dead heat and Giuliani is backing McCain for President. I’m addicted to CNNPOLITICS.COM.
