An awesome new tool for praying geeks
I’ve been part of the private beta for People2Pray for a while now, and I like it a lot. So much that I really wanted to tell everyone about it (and get people I know to sign up for it), but since it was in private beta, that wasn’t really practical. Happy me this morning [...]
Prairie chickens versus eagles
One of my favorite writers, Karen Hancock, started a blog recently, and I added it to my daily feed. Some posts interest me more than others; I like her posts that kind of reveal the process behind the books (and now I have some clues as to what will happen in the next book!), but [...]
Buried in my inbox
Jumping to the productivity side for a bit, I’d like to highlight Email Overloaded, a blog on the topic of dealing with email. It’s a little disturbing that this is a big enough problem to need a long term blog devoted to it, but I know it’s a huge time-sucker for me. Itzy, the author, [...]
Understanding the Danish cartoons
Udland Jyllands-Posten’s culture editor, Flemming Rose, has penned an article called “Why I Published Those Cartoons“. This is a very good read and I highly recommend it. It is, of course, referring to the cartoons that have sparked such insanity in the Middle East. I learned a lot from the article that [...]
Loan some money
Just a very quick note to say that Kiva, who I talked about in a previous post, has partnered with additional organizations and now has a good selection of businesses looking for funding. I think I’m going to loan something to Zara’s Tailoring Shop.
Library book graffiti
This made me laugh. I was reading the introduction to a book called The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success and the author was explaining with great enthusiasm how these laws will change your life. I turn the page, and lo and behold:
Another great charitible website
I’ve been a fan of the 24-7 Prayer folks for a while (especially since reading “Red Moon Rising“). I recently received an email from them announcing a new project: Living Generously.
This new site is essentially a directory of projects around the world that enable Christians to live out their convictions. They have a [...]
Person-to-person microloans
I discovered Kiva a month or so, and I got excited. It’s a great idea that’s been well implemented. I love things that use the power of the Internet for good, and Kiva does. Basically, the idea is that a person who has some money (as little as $25) can lend that [...]
Narnia reflections
Leanna, Peter and I went to see “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” last night at the midnight premier. The theater itself was entertaining, as we got there two and a half hours early and so were pretty near the front of the line. The people in front of us [...]
New site for dieters
Because one can never have enough websites (ha ha), I’ve just launched a new one: Am I Hungry? The simplest diet tool ever
It really is super-simple. The whole point is that if we seriously evaluate our hunger level before we eat, we’ll make healthier choices. I’m hoping this site takes off, but [...]
