Do good with your web searching
A few weeks ago, I heard via word of mouth that there was a search engine that would pay a charity of my choice one cent for each search I performed. That seemed like a really high number (a penny doesn’t sound like a lot, but multiply it by the daily searches on any [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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.
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 [...]
“Godcasts”
Missed Church? Download It to Your IPod.
I thought this was a cool use of technology (though not, as the headline implies, as a replacement for church… my church is about a whole lot more than just the sermon). We’re almost set up to do this, actually, since Kaleb’s been recording and compressing the sermons.
Happy BlogDay
It’s BlogDay and that means you get to hear about some great blogs.
Somewhere on the masthead is my favorite blog to read when I just want to laugh and be glad it’s not happening to me. Fair warning, there’s language from time to time but it’s hard to care when you’re laughing hard enough [...]
It’s so cute!
