Could “Authenticity” be fading?
Certificate of Authenticity 1, originally uploaded by TheGrossUncle.
I’m just thinking out loud here, but yesterday we were having a conversation in the offices at Brookwood about how can we truly measure authenticity?
In this age of completely skeptical consumers, could authenticity become the next term that is well…not authentic?
I don’t think the authenticity part is incorrect to have as a part of your life, but authenticity must become a part of character rather than a strategy of communication.
What do you think? Is communicating authenticity becoming inauthentic?
Yo-Yo Champion
So yeah I used to yo-yo. It was fun. I could pull off a few things but nothing like this. This is just nuts.
I would rock this MVP from yoyofactory if I was still in the game. How bout you….

Our Preteen Environments include…iPads!!!
So Switch, our preteen ministry for 5th and 6th grade students is going to be off the chain. Can’t wait! As we were looking for gaming stations, we thought hey iPads would be sweet and we could use them for more than just sitting there during the program and also we can use them for meetings throughout the week.
Anyway, I’m letting you know this because I thought it was awesome and you will probably see a lot of iPad related ministry things on this site from here on out! Can’t wait…
Any must have iPad apps that you personally would recommend to me?
What is an RSS reader and why do I need one?
Hopefully after watching that video you know exactly why you need an RSS reader. But if you are still on the fence, here are a few reasons.
- To Interact with like-minded people
- To READ-some of you need to look that one over again, haha.
- To Learn and Grow
- Because it’s better than just browsing.
So sign up for a Google Reader and just go crazy subscribing to blogs. I have about 40 that I read everyday. Distance mentors.

LOST Props Auction
The show Lost is having an auction for a lot of it’s props that made the Island, what it is. You can see Charlie’s Drive Shaft ring will be one of the items on auction.
The auction will take place on August 21st and 22nd in Santa Monica, California. But you can bid online at the Profiles in History website.
As a huge fan of the show, I wish I could pony up some cash for Mr. Eko’s staff. But I am just not sporting that much $$$.
Besides the island, What prop would you want to own from the Lost show?

Introducing the Sharpie Liquid Pencil!
So I’m an office supply junkie. I am a huge fan of the Pilot G-2 pen. It is by far my favorite based on cost and durability. I have actually dreamed of the information that I discovered today. Sharpie is going to release what they are calling a liquid pencil. It is filled with liquid graphite and is able to be erased. BUT after some time, the writing will become permanent!
This is set to release in September. Can’t wait. Check out this Engadget video of the pencil in action.
