A great news piece by CNN about how people can “go to church right from your computer.”
They talked with LifeChurch.tv and their pastor Craig Groeschel. I thought it was great that the reporter brought up the question of the sacraments which is still, for many people, a difficult thing to wrap their minds around.
And, of course, the final comment is the best:
Well, there you have it, absolutely no excuses.

It’s that time again…! Sunday’s a good day to take it easy.
I’ve decided that on Sundays I’m not going to do any blogging except for a very simple post series called “The Sunday Special” where you get to ask me anything.
You can ask about me about web technology, WordPress, blogging, what I ate for breakfast… whatever.
I can’t promise that I’ll answer all of your questions, but feel free to answer each other’s questions as well.
I’ll try to answer all the questions throughout the coming week.
Simple enough, right? Go.

I’ve gotten a lot of requests about eCommerce recently and I’ve recommended this little nifty solution a few times.
Anyways, I thought I’d share it here, especially since it’s been well done for a few smaller organizations and churches looking to sell a few things.
SimpleCartJS is really that simple. No databases, no programming, all javascript. Skin it the way you want it and voila.
Gearing up to sell some stuff for the holiday season? Try this on for size.
There have been a number of reports published within days of each other about technology and our ability to relate to others, both online and in the real.
One report suggests that New Technology is Making us more Socially Isolated and yet we have another report saying that the Internet is Leading Us to Become more Diverse in our relationships. We have (somewhat dogmatic) reactions from Mashable titled, Myth Busted: Internet Doesn’t Lead to Isolation and then another from the NYTimes that would suggest the opposite, that people that use these technologies are more socially diverse.
So, what’s the call? Does the internet and new web technologies make us (or help us be) more social or does it simply make more apparent the gross lack of basic social skills that many of us have?
Here’s what I think:

The waterproof Bible is almost a “duh” product. I can’t count how many times I’ve been frustrated after spilling something on my bible and then having to fan out the pages.
Argh!
Published by Bardin and Marsee, it’s available in both KJV and NIV versions and recently they’ve released a great campaign where you can “buy one and give one,” just like TOM Shoes:
“We believe every consumer benefits from the increased lifespan and durability of the Waterproof Bible. However, we are especially passionate about getting this better designed Bible into the hands of those in developing countries, where the people often face harsh environments and living conditions.
Through our BOGO program, these third-world citizens will receive the same long-lasting product that our customers get, but for free,” said Bobby Bardin, co-developer of the Waterproof Bible.
I love it.
This is an obvious need and I wonder why it wasn’t developed sooner. You have to love technology (not just web!).
