A Month Into Simplified Living
I started this year with this in mind, written by Kevin Lipe:
I’ve just got way too much stuff, way too many gadgets, way too many computers, and spend way too much time wasting time on the Internet on things that don’t deserve time out of my life that I can’t ever get back.
So I gave up a lot of things. ForkBombr, Google Reader, Project 365 and several other things in an effort to focus on...

A New Adventure
So, I can finally talk about this. Late last week, I accepted the I.T. Director position at the Salvation Army Kroc Center here in Memphis. Well, technically it’s still an empty lot, but ground is being broken in the next month or so.
The mission is to reach Memphis for the Gospel by working with students inside the MCS system. Instead of building a run-of-the-mill community center, this...

Glenview Skatepark Project Killed by City... →
Ignoring issues (like the drugs at Glenview Park) and doing nothing is why Memphis in such bad shape. A skate park can’t work miracles, but doing something is better than doing nothing. Indifference, cowardice and ignorance are killing this city. Kids need a healthy venue or nothing changes in our neighborhoods. Ms. Halbert, it is time to go. Memphis can’t take your brand of politics...

The Beginning
tchaten:
As I begin - I wish first to state my purpose of this new blog.
I recently purchased an eMate 300, Apple’s decade plus PDA laptop. It is a great medium in which to simply write and have a free mind to do so.
This blog will be simply my thoughts as they come out of me writing on my eMate late at night.
I just acquired one as well, as soon as I find the correct cables, I’ll be...

Even though I no longer use MobileMe or an iPhone, I can appreciate how slick this app looks.

Destiny
Stuart Townend’s ‘In Christ Alone’:
No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand ‘til He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
“Jesus commands my destiny” is pretty heavy duty stuff. It...

Hello, Tumblr
It’s been about a week and a half since I put ForkBombr on ice. At the same time, I decided to stop using Google Reader and Facebook. It’s been a pretty nice week and a half. I miss writing, but I don’t miss looking all around the Internet for stories to link to or topics to discuss. I check in on a few tech and news sites throughout the day but that’s been it.
But I miss...
