Great idea for High School Teachers and Middle School Teachers
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.
Anyone else an office supply junky?
What writing gear do you sport?
Digital Friendships
So randomly I’ve been dropping people’s names and resources as my friends.
Mainly people that I’ve met once or twice.
I interact over twitter and blogs with them.
With all this tech, relationships have begun to shift.
So my question is this:
What are the requirements to become real friends rather than just digital acquaintances?
Where to find portable video game console stations?
I’m limited in space and time and funds… (more emphasis on space and time). I’m trying to put together a few video game stations for a new ministry at Brookwood.
Anyone know of a place of have some pictures of video game stations that are portable. I need to be able to roll them around and put them in storage.
If you don’t know please help me out by retweeting this post. Thanks for all your help =)

The power of Google Reader
Ok a few things you need to know about me as a person.
- I love to read
- I love listening to people that have something worthwhile to say
- I love to read
- I love to have intentional conversations with people
- I love to read
Did I mention that I love to read? I read a lot of books every year. The kindle has really done all kinds of awesome to my book reading time. But one of the other tools that keeps me refreshed is Google Reader.
I subscribe to a lot of blogs that deal with an arena of things such as: Family Ministry, Pastors, Marketing Agencies, Communications gurus, blogs about writing and sports blogs. The tool that keeps these things in line is google reader. You can find a ton of posts out there about this particular Google product so I won’t bore you with the basics. But one of the things that I think is the coolest feature that I wished more people took advantage of is the sharing options.
Ever read a blog and think man wish I could just email this out to all the people I think it would help? Well you can. By following the list in google reader you can see everything that a particular person shares for the world to see. I’ll give you an example.
I read everything that Michael Hyatt does. I think he’s brilliant. He also has a google reader account and regularly shares items. They are not written by him but are written by blogs that he follows and he shares them on his reader account. He will also add notes to particular items of interest. If you would like to follow his shared items here’s the link.
Anyways, if you want to get started with Google reader click this link. It’s free and super easy to get started, like most things google. And last but not least click here to follow my shared items in google reader.
Anyone following someone on Google Reader that we should be?
Why does everyone love Google?
Here’s one reason.
I can post my own picture as the background of google.com
Man my wife looks hott in that picture.
+1 for making my search that much more awesome.
5 Reasons to get an iPhone 4 for your ministry
So you probably watched the Steve Jobs Keynote presentation yesterday. And you were trying to figure out reasons to drop the 200 or 300 bones to grab one of these sweet mobile thingy’s. Well just for you, here’s 5 reasons to get an iPhone 4 for your ministry.
1. iBooks
It’s easy to be well read when you have books on the one thing that you will never forget to bring into your small group room. You can always have the latest vision casting, volunteer recruiting, or inspirational title right at your fingertips. Plus for kids and students it will make reading cool again. +1 for intellectual stimulation.
2. iHD Camera
So I know we all wish we could afford the greatest camera to easily capture moments from Sunday morning, training classes, or when you get bored in your….um…I mean have a random stroke of creative genius. And it’s in HD and you can edit it on the same device. Sa-weet!!!
3. iMissions
I know cheesy title, but I’m bringing the creativity on this one. Wish your kids could get a taste of the mission field? Wish they could connect to your missionaries that are currently abroad? Well with the handy dandy face time app, you most certainly can. Ok the cheese factor is most certainly on for me today…But in all seriousness, imagine being able to connect not only with missionaries, but also kids.
Not only that but what about you multi-site people. Imagine your volunteer connection time with these to connect with all of your site on a Sunday morning. It would be a cool thing to pray together via video every week before services.
4. iGaming
The kids or students in your ministry will definitely want to connect with you because of your mobile device. With the new gyroscope feature, I can only imagine the gaming possibilities. It’s going to be pretty awesome to see what people come up with. Great chance to connect with kids and students.
5. iEnvy
The last thing and the least important…well, just depending on who is reading this 
. You want to be the coolest student ministry person in your community, one hypenated word for you pre-order.
Not to mention, it’s so incredibly exciting that what we saw yesterday at Keynote is just the tip of the iceberg. Have fun inventing ways to use the new toy you were probably going to buy anyway.
