Campus Crusade blogger McRyanMac complains about Blogger.com and hits the big time. In a single post, he gets mentioned on Wired News and Blogger Forum. Well done!

Read MoreMotion 2 and VJs
Motion 2 (debuted yesterday) could be a solution for Video Jockeys who don’t want to pay for extra software (like I did with Arkaos). “MIDI support allows Motion 2 to be “played” like a musical instrument with animation changes triggered by playing a keyboard or using faders or knobs on a MIDI controller.” Link

Today the Cardinals enter into their private conclave to begin praying, discussing, and choosing a new Pope for the Roman Catholic Church.

Read MoreEars on Their Heads, But They Dont Hear
Bremer-Murray: I showed it to my daughter, and she couldn’t stop crying. She said, “It literally took my breath away, Mom. I can’t believe I’m crying like this.” And she’s not overly spiritual. It really affected me. Di Sabatino: I’m amazed at the ability this has to reach out to people who are not really…

My butcher let me in his huge freezer this week. We discussed the dead animals hanging there and ooohhhheed and aaahhheed at the aging rib roast that, after 17 days of hanging, had gained some character. Can’t beat a rib roast of grass-fed Aberdeen Angus from Scotland – really . . . it doesn’t get…

Read MoreEmergAnt.:4 New Media Fluency
The minds of the emerging generation are being shaped by the computer screen more than the television screen. We see things in layers and loops and links and labyrinths. We do not see new things replace old things (like video clips in a linear movie) but we see them find their place in nested layers.…

“Stewardship is about service and not doing what is necessarily in our own interest. This is in direct contrast with the typical paradigm of the use of power in business which is leadership. Stewardship moves power and choice down and to the edge of the organizational chain where actual work is done.” Ross Rodhe Ross…
