Feb 10th – Day 41 – Time To Ignite
This project’s been simmering below the level for the last month and change but now that simmering will slowly roil to a boil and steam up some glasses. On March 2nd 2010 Ignite Denver opens their sixth session. Several topics have been submitted and these evening I threw my hat in the ring with my presentation entitled, “Cain and Able 2: Die Harder”.
Resolving to be Resolute in 2010
2010 is just days away and it’s that time. The time to try and come up with something or anything that will help me be a better person over the next 365 days or so. The time to ask myself if I do indeed want to simply be the same as I was this year or do I want to take a flying leap into the unknown?
I think this year calls for a flying leap. The years are growing on me and within the next two years I’ll be dangerously close to turning thirty years old. As thirty is a stones throw from forty I figure I should do everything I can to be the man I want to be this year. It’s an effort to look at my future through a very long lens.
As I grow older I see the benefits of changing habits and life choices. As a stroke survivor this line of thinking is magnified thousandfold. With the risk of a second brain malfunction hanging over me in the wings I’ve got to take the reins on the horse of life and make it my own. The time is now. It all starts here. And I can do it.
Draw the Line?
*updated 12/20/2009 @9:30pm* I’ll blog more about this in this space by Monday afternoon but I wanted to open up the gates to see what people think of this article titled “Evangelical church opens doors fully to gays”.
Thoughts?
If you look down in comments you’ll find two amazing Men of God who lay the case out pretty effectively. Scott Roche (spiritualtramp) and Jason Ackerman (jasonmonster) are two fairly well balanced Christian men of whom I’ve had the honor to work on a few things with and as far as I can tell, they know what they’re talking about.
The bottom line is quotes and ideas that both Scott and Jason point out. This one got me (and Scott) going. “I just didn’t feel God would tell a person to deny a big part of who they are and to keep it a secret.” When you sign up to be a Christian (as the name implies – CHRIST-like) you’re setting yourself apart from the world of sin. Mind you, we’re going to sin everyday but the focus of being a Christian is to work against that part of our humanity. We strive to be Christ in everything we do and if we’re going to even break even on that agreement we’re going to have some rules about what is cool and what is not cool.

Just Think…
This is but a few months away… (picture is from the blizzard that shut down the airport for three days).
Behind the Writing – Columbine (part 1)
editors note: this is a ongoing series as I begin to write a final column for the Lullaby for Columbine Project. Feel free to comment and ask questions in the comment section below.
Writing for the ten year anniversary of the Columbine Massacre is without a doubt a tall order, as I am learning. To try and pull the last ten years together into one simple post is something I didn’t expect would be this hard, but it has become a great weight upon the heart and soul. I’ve completed about 684 words and it’s a very rough draft. As I wrote it I began to feel those old memories and feelings bubbling up again from the depths.
Wordcamp Denver Wrocks the Rockies
The unique power of the internet is in the community that thrives in all corners. From the artsy fartsy to the geeks that worship at the altar of Shatner to the guys building the foundation upon which the internet superhighway runs it’s an amazing place. Part of that foundation is bloggers and the programs that support their writings. To wit the blogging platform Wordpress is the superstar, the clutch player and the one you turn to when you need near perfection in your blogging software. It’s also free. Open source. In use by big names. And we have conventions. Did I mention it was free?
Wordpress has spawned Wordcamps worldwide. Over the years it’s been happening overseas which if nothing else exhibits the growing reach and strength of the software. Denver has been without since the start. Mind you, there’s no shortage of superstars of both the blogging world and Wordpress in the metro area. If the line up at Wordcamp Denver was any indication we were almost overdue for one of these events.

Denvertweetup and away
When I say, “Oh yea, I’m twittering right now”, I get looks of either terror, horror or absolute fear because they have no idea what verb action I just subjugated upon them and they’re thinking all kinds of things about me right in that moment.
And that’s ok. You see, I’m ok with the uncomfortable glances and odd stares. It shows I’m probably doing something right. For those behind the ever moving eight ball here’s the basic idea twitter: Community and razor quick information disbursement all in one. There are numerous articles out there that explain exactly what you can implement twitter for in your business and/or personal life and you should seek them out via a Google search.
