I just walk out of my office is Huntington Beach and was blasted by the heat wave. Wow, it feels like summer again, except with ash in the air. Oh well, it's the price we pay for where we live.

Information Catergorization...Is that a word?

Why They Exist...

So I've really been digging this "blogging" concept alot. I set out today to do some research on why some of these social networks exist. Let's take a look:

Virb - "Virb is a place that lets you put all of the things that make you - photos, videos, blogs - in one place. So you can find friends and friends can find you.

Facebook - Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.

Myspace - "A place for friends."

Twitter - Stay connect w/ friends in a variety of ways.

Blogger - "Push-button publishing."

Livejournal - LiveJournal lets you express yourself, share your life, and connect with friends online.

Friendster - "Find. Connect. Stay in touch."

Incredibly interesting all of the social networks are about one thing: Connection! As the web community matures and develops the need for information dimishes, but the need for community increases. It's also interesting to see how information is becoming "minaturized." Twitter is a great example of that. Twitter is all about bite-sized information. I think starting next week I will blog everyday using a "bite-sized" approach. Let me know what you think about it. I'd be interested to receive your feedback.

If you don't stand, you might fall


I was at the movies the other night. After our movie was over, a group of us were standing in the foyer of the theater waiting for our the rest of our friends to exit the restroom. I love movie posters, displays, etc. I found this one and I was immediately struck by the phrase at the top of the display. It read, "If you don't stand for something, You might fall for anything." I love that! If any one has any feedback I would love to hear it.

Friends


One of my best friends, Michael Barker, turned 21 today.  How crazy is that?  To think that the first time I met him he was 13 and a freshman in high school.  I'm so proud of him and all that God is doing in and through him.  It's weird to be almost 30 years old...I remember turning 21...
