Reading Time: < 1 min Our church has been experimenting with Twitter (I’m @mickmel) for the last year or so, but we haven’t made any hard pushes toward using it. Anthony Coppedge has just put out an e-book called The Reason Your Church Must Twitter, and now we might be getting somewhere. Since I got the book, I’ve been talking […]

Take a look around David Allen’s office
Reading Time: < 1 min You 2.0 has just posted a neat video of David Allen in his home office, going through his “collection” process after a trip. After watching it, I’m feeling pretty good about my sytem, as it’s quite similar. I have a few more high-tech tools in my arsenal, but all-in-all it’s roughly the same. Check it […]
GTD has done my prayer life (and sleep) a lot of good
Reading Time: < 1 min Getting rolling with GTD has brought a few unexpected benefits to my life — an improved prayer life and an easier time falling asleep at night. I’m personally a Christian, but this applies to anyone of any faith, or anyone that simply likes to meditate. I’ve always had a hard time focusing for very long, […]
Satellite image of the inauguration crowds today
Reading Time: < 1 min GeoEye made quick work of posting an image from Barack Obama’s Inauguration today. As promised, they snapped a photo at 11:19am and had it posted by this afternoon. The photo does a great job of capturing the mass of people that were in Washington. It was very interesting to see the the crowds formed — […]
New imagery in Washington, DC – Just in time for the Inauguration
Reading Time: < 1 min мебелиTwo days before Tuesday’s Inauguration of Barack Obama, Google has updated the imagery in the Washington, DC area. According to the Google Earth Blog, the imagery for the White House and Capitol building are still from 2002, but much of the imagery in the area is dated 2008.

Frankie’s doesn’t know it’s own area
Reading Time: < 1 min I was flipping through a “Choice Savings” booklet that came in the mail. You know, the little half-sheet sized glossy-covered coupon book. While going through it, I found an ad for “Frankie’s”, a local italian restaurant. We’ve been there before and it’s pretty decent, but the map really caught my eye. They didn’t screw it […]
The little things can add up: Gmails “Send & Archive” is great!
Reading Time: < 1 min I’ve been a huge fan of Gmail for a few years now. I can run a variety of addresses through my single Gmail account, then access it all from anywhere. One especially neat thing about Gmail is the “archive” feature. When you’re done with an e-mail, you can just tell it to “go away”, whether […]
10 things that non-Diggers are wrong about
Reading Time: 4 min While the title says “non-Diggers”, this really applies to anyone who would visit this blog and say “what’s SEO stand for?” I find that very smart people are very confused about a wide array of technology-related items. Here are the 10 I hear most often: 10 — The Wii Remote needs to see the screen! […]
Google Notebook and Jott become less useful
Reading Time: < 1 min Google Notebook and Jott are two of the cogs in my GTD system, and both just announced news that makes them less desireable. Jott has just announced that they are ending their free service as of February 2. I was considering upgrading to their paid service anyhow so I could send notes directly to Nozbe, […]
Google Transit Layer launched for 50 cities worldwide
Reading Time: < 1 min Google has just announced the release fo the transit layer for 50 cities worldwide. Google Transit has been around for a while, but this actually overlays the transit lines on the map. As the Google LatLong blog says, using this in combination with hotels and/or restaurants can make life much easier when you’re visiting a […]
