I’ve decided that I have to get more organized. For those of you who know me, I know, you’re like “huh? I thought you were?” Well, I’m not that just the fact. There’s way more I want to get accomplished and my lack of organization (or next level of organization) is a road block right [...]

I got a sweet couch from Peter today… It’s starting to look good! (click on the pic, to see all the notes on this pic in Flickr). Thanks Peter!

Today I was feeling overwhelmed with meetings and tasks. So I did the responsible thing and re-arranged my office. I could fib and say that I am trying to increase productivity, but in reality I just needed a new look & feel, and something to do that was pretty brainless, yet satisfying. Here’s the cheezy [...]

I’ve been using iGoogle as my home page for at least a year, probably longer. I love it, even though it’s a little cluttery, it helps me stay on top of things. Google is pretty much the next best thing next to Jesus. My Google home page has these plugins:

I’ve been in church planting for about 12 years now [...]

My friend & local pastor at Impact Church is running a series on his blog all about church management; very relevant to toady’s church. A few months ago I did a little post on our fun with CMS. We’re still stuck in the thick of it - mainly because we don’t have a guy like [...]

I spent all day in here, and it’s still not done. But I got pretty far. I got our DV recording deck working again (yay, we can video-cast!). I setup a workstation for pod & video casting and radio editing (you can see it in the far left corner). I got all the preview monitors [...]
