Written by I’m in the middle of the second read of an amazing book by Gordon MacDonald called “Ordering Your Private World.” I thought I would share a snippet that really hit me today. I may post a few others as I go along. Ours can be a worldly religion, meaning that one can go a long [...]

Completing My Library
I know I haven’t posted in like 2 months, so I’m opening things back up with a revelation. As of about 5 minutes ago, I’m officially 100% up-to-date with my iTunes library! 5,865 songs at 33.42 GB total. I have been working on this for about 10 years, and now every mp3 has the proper [...]

Wow. I’m impressed. Back in November, I posted about installing ActiveCollab so that we could try it out for our planning for Apex and the “new” website. Well, it’s now February, and we’re still using it. I think we’re all hooked on it, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Here are some of [...]

Just read a post over at Lifehacker about a new feature that was rolled out in Gmail (which I just noticed this morning also). Now when someone e-mails you a Word document as an attachment, you have the option of opening it in Google Docs. They’ve been doing this for a while with Excel documents, [...]
