Okay, I admit that this thing is a bit random but when we were portable and we used portable baptistries we were always having a hard time finding ways to fill them up with water.  We were never near a water source so we had to use hoses and it always seemed that we needed [...]

A Six Pack for Your Visitors

1 Comment 31 August 2010

Most churches like to give their visitors something to thank them for visiting.  These items typically vary from clever to cheesy.  One church I visited gave away bags of microwave popcorn with stickers on them that said “Thanks for popping in.”  I’m not sure a pun is ever a good idea if your goal is [...]

Whether for a youth event or some other event, I know that deep down you’ve always wanted to own a t-shirt launcher.  You’ve probably imagined the crowd going crazy as you launch your church’s t-shirts into the stands!  You probably also checked on buying one only to discover that they ain’t cheap.

A Python Teaches Creativity

0 Comments 28 August 2010

In this video, John Cleese, a former member of the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python, talks about creativity.  He’s evidently speaking at the World Creativity Forum.  Who knew something like that even existed?  (My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.) Anyway, in this brilliant video he discusses how creativity works and what kills [...]

Are Blogs Dead?

4 Comments 23 August 2010

There’s a lot of talk these days about blogs being dead.  Some think that the blogging movement was a little more than a fad and others believe that it’s still going strong.  The truth is that blogs aren’t dead per se but their usage is certainly changing. When I first started blogging (a very long [...]

Add Some Style to Wikipedia

It’s amazing what a little style can add to the usability and enjoyment of a web site.  Unfortunately, Wikipedia has always been long on information and little short of style but the folks over at Cooliris have swooped in to save the day with their new Discover app for the iPad. There are a lot [...]
