To better meet the needs of my readers and subscribers I’ve switched my email subscription service. I’m going to be using feedblitz, which is a commercial site, rather then doing it on my own. The reason I’m doing this is because they do much better at it then I will. I hope you enjoy it.
For those already subscribed don’t worry about changing it, the other one still works fine, but I think you might prefer feedblitz better.

I haven’t written much this week. Taking off on Friday and coming back late on Monday turned the past two weeks into 12 hour days at work. The rest of my time was spent catching up at home. But, never fear I’m back. For now. Lot’s to write about.

PocketMod
So, I write EVERYTHING into my little pocket calendar (courtesy of a wonderful bank in Minnesota). There are periods of time where I didn’t have a planner, and I tried my own little inventions. I made this tiny tiny little notpad out of one sheet of paper and a rubberband and I used it to write everything.
Well, I ran across this sweet site, that took the “a single sheet of paper makes a great organizer” idea and elaborated it.
For those of you who don’t have your own planner …

February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005
“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

Devotional thoughts »

Luke 1:6-7 bring together two interesting thoughts that quickly pass me by on most readings. It’s a clear sign that God’s perspective on the world and us as individuals is often different then our worldly perspective.
Verse 6 points out very clearly that Zechariah and Elizabeth where upright in the sight of God. They had followed what God had commanded and where blameless. If we had known this, we likely would have showered them with praise and attention.
Verse 7 reveals that they had no children. Just a …

So, my desk is a mess, my computer files and bookmarks are randomly spread out and labeled, my in-box is jam packed, and my pocket planner has no systematic nature to it. I’ve been looking into a very interesting and cool organizing blog called 43folders. I’ve got some good organizing ideas, but what I’d really love is a good set of labels. Labels need to encompass Everything and yet be specific. It’s like trying to draw a Ven diagram, but you can’t have the circles overlap, and if they’re circles …

Blog, podcast »

So, I really like the idea of podcasting. I’ve done a few silly one’s but the themes vary a whole lot. There are a couple areas I’d be really interested in doing a podcasting series in, and I’m wondering what you’d think about them.
1) Interviewing Non-Christians about Christians and Christianity. This has always been an area I’m very interested in. One, because most Christians live in a bubble of sorts and never really hear “real live non-Christians” talk about things. Christians often seem to have …

When I have time this site is going to change. I’ve talked about writing more and then I haven’t, mainly because I feel an obligation to my subscribers, not to overwhelm anyone with random entries. I think I’ve said this before, and obviously this is not a good start to changing the way I blog.
I’m dabbling in a lot of things I’m interested in, getting organized, technology, business stuff, Christian stuff, politics, etc. I worry if I start writing about all those things then I’ll find I lose …
