Do We Publish Anything With Meaning and Longevity Today?
How much do we write that has meaning and longevity today? While we aren’t, and can’t, all be Mark Zuckerberg (see Mark Zuckerberg and the Biblical Meaning of Success), it got me thinking about the value (and noise) we add when it comes to our photos, videos, and our writing today.

Repeating the Same Message Dilutes It’s Value
This is the industry standard for information today. Repeat, repeat, repeat, the message so many times that at some point it will finally sink into the person’s mind, unless of course you are one of those who hears the message the first time, then turns off every next repetition. There is actually a negative term […]

Reasons Why Google+ is Already Better than Facebook
So I almost felt obligated at this point to do a post about Google+ just because it really wasn’t what I was expecting from Google.

The Complete Egoist by Arthur Guiterman
I have tried over the years to reconcile the whole of what is social networking to how it helps or destroys the effort of devoting one’s life to the pursuit of God.

How a Church Communicates in a Generation Gap

A New Website About to Launch at Cornerstone Church

Two of my three earthly passions are faith, technology, and photography, […]

How to Make a Custom iPhone Wallpaper Background
I wanted to post something a little different today, so here is a slightly useless use of your iPhone’s wallpaper screen, an electronic business card or ID name tag. I have found a few uses for doing this other than it looking a little conceited and vain, but it was a lot by trial and […]

Is Twitter Really a Useful Tool for Your Business?
With all the hype surrounding Twitter I had to give it a go a few months ago. The big question for me at the time was, is Twitter a useful tool or another avenue that eats time on the Internet? I am not sure that question has really been answered in my mind yet, but […]
