I saw on Google today that it's the World Wide Web's 30th Birthday and decided to read a little bit about its history, and in my reading, I realized that I didn't know that the "World Wide Web" is not the same thing as the "Internet", so in honor of the WWW's birthday, go watch this video so you can learn the difference too! ...

Did you know that it's been 10 years since the mobile app market first launched? Crazy, right? Do you wanna to know what's even crazier? The average person now spends 121 hours a month using apps (a month has a total of about 730 hours). It's crazy to me to think that something that didn't exist 10 years ago, now plays such a huge part in our daily lives. ... Read More

To check out all of the posts, view the table of contents here] Now that I'm a few chapters in after my review of Chapter 3, I think I could've done a better job there. I almost think I tried to preempt the entire book from the introduction of the SB7 Framework. If you've been part of the bookclub we hope you've been enjoying the journey with us. Chapter six builds on the ... Read More
I recently wrote a blog post titled, Should I Use Canva for my Church? And to be honest it was hard for me to write that post as a professional graphics designer. Here is why: because graphic design is becoming a commodity that anyone can do at any price, and the industry has become a race to the bottom.

Where are all my Android people out there? For those that do not know, I am an Android fan for more than one reason. I'll be honest, I've watched the video and while there is satire here (which makes him SO VERY fun to watch), there is so much truth in this. So, can I make the claim Linus Tech Tips agrees Android is better? It is definitely entertaining! I don't really care about the customization or a couple other features he talks about. Surprisingly, the file system is important and the open ... Read More
