Ok, this isn’t really about your pastor. It’s about you. It starts with a very interesting experiment by Adam Galinsky at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Draw the letter E on your forehead. Really. Go ahead. No peeking at the answer. This won’t hurt. Probably. Photo credit: Adam Galinsky, Blackwell Publishing Which does yours [...]
There’s a story at Christianity Today asking “Should We Still Give Out Tracts?” as a group in Illinois petitioned the courts to distribute anti-Catholic leaflets at Catholic festival. They were given the green light as a Court of Appeals declared it unconstitutional to restrict them by Christians at an Arab International Festival in Dearborn. Really? [...]
Congratulations Google, you finally have a winner. While Buzz and Wave were major flops, Google Plus is a winner. Facebook killer? No…it’s more than that. Twitter killer? Not so much even in that arena. Here are my highlights and why G+ will take a very dominant role in the online arena. Making social, personal I [...]
(more fun Netflix doodles here.) I’m still thinking about Netflix’s flop this week.

I’m not a big fan of the cross as the main symbol for what Christ has done for us (and yes that goes for logos too.) I’d propose that we be more focused on the hope of Christ than his death. While I’ve held this opinion pretty much forever, as someone who is constantly looking [...]
My struggle with technology continues. I continue to wrestle with innovation. I know, I’m not supposed to, I’m supposed to be cutting edge, with all the latest tech, gadgets and gizmos…but I’m not sure it’s all working like it should. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of both, but not just for the sake [...]
Coming up right around the corner is Idea Camp and though I can’t be there, you should consider it. This is a big turning point in the InvisiblePeople roadtrip…no literally, Mark will be turning around and making his way back to LA after speaking in DC. What a fitting stop on his tour, Idea Camp’s [...]
