Thanks to reading Brian’s Pink Blog, I learned about this neat little experiment: a Johari window. If you wouldn’t mind, take a minute or two and pick five or six words that you think describe me. You can be anonymous if you are afraid to tell me the truth :-p.
While for many people this is a no brainer, but I’ve always had a big problem drinking water. I’ve been addicted to coffee, soft drinks, and everything in between. Well, I’ve decided that while I can’t totally cut those drinks out for fear of severe headaches, what I can do is make sure that I drink two full nalgenes of water a day. This is just the start in a new routine for something that I strongly feel the Lord calling me to complete.
Thanks to my friends and family for encouraging me and for those little texts asking “Have you had your water today?”.
Just over a week ago I crumbled, I broke down, I gave in, I . . . bought an iPhone. Phew, I feel better now that I’ve got that out. I had always said I would hold off until it either came to Verizon or it achieved faster data speeds but well, my Palm Treo 650 decided that it wouldn’t give me that luxury. With random restarts abounding it was either get locked into another contract with Verizon or make the switch now. So, I made the switch.
Looking back now . . . I wish I would have bought it sooner! This is an absolute sweet device. The user interface is spectacular, it just makes sense! Now for those of you that know me, I am an avid fan of Apple. I’ve owned a couple of their computers now and I’ve always enjoyed using them. I try to avoid being too big of an Apple fan boy but well they seem to just get customers. I sure hope they keep this up!
Today, an excellent article was published by Aaron Gustafson at A List Apart. His article discusses the ever changing practice of developing in a standards based word for the World Wide Web. Now I know for some of my readers out there this will matter very little - however for those of you interested, I encourage you to take in just a little of the discussions that surround the web.
On Friday night a good friend of mine, Daniel Renstrom, release his solo debut: Adore & Tremble. Daniel is the College Ministry Director at Providence Baptist Church and is one of several worship leaders at the church. It has been an amazing honor to work with Daniel, get to know him better, and see him grow as an artist. I highly recommend you check out his album at his web site - Daniel Renstrom - Adore & Tremble. You can also check out some of the photos I snagged at his release party below and a few more in the gallery.
