Reflections on Social Media - Brian Clemens
My friend, Brian Clemens, gave me some great praise on being "ahead of the curve". I'm not sure if this is entirely true, or if I just fall ass-backwards into things (or jump on bandwagons), but I appreciate the compliments! Brian wrote on Twitter's effects on relationships and conversations from Joe Johnston's presentation on social media. See below, and more after the jump... I really don’t understand this whole concept of social media, or what it is or claims to be. All I know is in 2010 I fell more...

Childhood Memories Recreated
Childhood Memories Recreated Earlier this year, popular videoblogger Ze Frank asked readers to recreate, as adults, pictures of themselves as kids. The idea has caught on so well that people are now giving these pictures to family as Christmas gifts. Here's the re-staged 21-year-old picture one Reddit user says she is giving to her mom as a present: Also popping up online today was this shot of a guy on his (generously cooperative) mom's lap: Here are some of the shots we liked from...

Do NOT Use Globat.com Hosting! My experience...
I never do this. I'm not the kind of person to lodge public complaints, but rarely have I ever experienced such a lack of common sense and customer service from a company. A few years ago I purchased web hosting through globat.com. Claimed to be a leader in performance web hosting, Globat was a good price. I built my site, which was just HTML. Nothing crazy, nothing that would cause problems for any reputable hosting service. Very soon after launching, my site experienced an outage for days. I called Globat...

Arizonans assume dome = mosque
Read the story at KPHO.com, but here's the gist of it: A church in Phoenix decides to build a new building. As a part of their arcitecture, they build a dome at the top. What's the logical reaction? Freak out because Muslims are moving into the neighborhood! Which leads me to question the incursion of the evil Islamic agenda in other parts of wholesome, apple-pie eating, Jesus-loving American society... Climbing Structures Perhaps you climbed on them as a child. Maybe you climbed on them one night after...

Rachel Held Evans | Book #2: A Year of Biblical Womanhood
via rachelheldevans.com If you've read A.J. Jacob's "The Year of Living Biblically", then you might like to follow Rachel's journey. A.J. spent an entire year following every command in the Bible to a "t". He stone adulterers, let his beard grow, kept a sheep, and was "fruitful and multiplied"... ahem... Anyways, Rachel is attempting something similar, but from a female perspective. The part I found the funniest was this: "...camping out in the backyard for the duration of my monthly period " I can just imagine...
