Floating Thoughts: Pre-Travel Edition

Please take off your shoes and jacket as you enter this edition of floating thoughts, and remember that no liquids or gels greater than 3 ounces in capacity are allowed beyond this point.  Enjoy your reading.

  • Have you seen TimeTube?  It's an amazing YouTube mashup.  Put in a keyword or two and watch it build a timeline videos with those tags.  Amazing!  Play with the different displays, they are really interesting.
  • If you still aren't on Twitter, well...you're missing out on all the fun.  It's a great way to communicate within your sphere.  I'm going to be writing another tutorial (more advanced than my last one) when I get back from Dallas, but for now I'll give you one of the nuggets out of it.  Check out TweetScan.  Go put in your username and you'll see who has been writing to/about you.
  • I'm looking forward to hanging out with this guy and meeting his family.  He is very generously housing me while I'm in Dallas.
  • The mustache is coming along nicely.  I'm almost halfway through Mustache May!
  • Rick tagged me on a meme.  I have never succumbed to a meme, but I may just do this one because it's Meme May also!  Actually, I just made that up.
  • Nick and I are officially finished with our six weeks of guitar lessons through the community center, but we are pressing on!  Starting next Tuesday a couple of the other students and our super-talented teacher Troy are going to come over to our house and we'll continue with private lessons.  Lick-a-licous!
  • My heart has been heavy all week.  Earthquakes, relationships in toil, people in the hospital.  I don't feel that I've spent enough time in prayer lifting these things up to Our Father.
  • There are positive things happening out of some of this...check out what my friends are doing to help people memorize a chapter in the Bible on behalf of their very sick friend.
  • I've excited to see my friends at Fellowship Tech! At the same conference I get to see a very good friend. Wahoo!
  • That's it...gotta go pack!

Tweetscan is sweet. Thanks Matt and have a great trip.

If you're in town and have the time to swing over to Fort Worth, be sure to eat at a Taco Cabana. It's the uber-best Tex-Mex place to eat!

And give me a ring to see if we can connect.

Greg, glad you are finding Tweetscan useful. It's fantastic!

Anthony, I would love to connect, not sure I'll be getting out of Frisco though. Are you coming by the F1 conference at all?

Did I mention...

  • I am a former executive, part time blogger, full time lover of grace and peace. I live part of my time in the real world with my family and friends, part of my time in the virtual world in places like Twitter and FB.

    I am currently forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
