the myriad show.

So I went to the Myriad and Wes Jensen show this weekend and it was amazing.. It totally sold out and I had a lot of fun.. I got to take some pictures, and a lot of them turned out pretty good.. Here is one of my favorites.. I may post some more later.. Let me know what you think about this..


Something else I did this last week is launch the new Myriad site.. It is still sort of a work in progress, but everything should be working.. I will be adding a blog and something special that you will just have to check back and see.. Go check it out and let me know what you think...

I hope to be able to make more space in my life to do what love to do.. So you may be seeing stuff on here like more photos, poems, stories, music, and videos...

my new mac..

So.. as I told you i have been having trouble with my computers, well this week I got the new hard drive for Bethany's computer and that was all it took to fix it.. as for mine, i still haven't heard what was wrong with it.. But after a long time of thinking.. I decided to upgrade.. I now have the new MacBook Pro.. This is going to be great for work, and when I have to travel.. I am super excited.. I will also be able to do some work outside of the home office... Sometimes it gets a little stuffy being in the house all day.. So good things..


I have also been getting a few more jobs for my business, and have been more busy as well.. Please pray that God continues to grow my business, so that I can be less busy and be able to do more for the Kingdom..

Poll: How many of you own macs...? Shout out..

breaking the blog silence.. momentarily.

sorry for not blogging... but I have some serious issues right now. Mostly with Apple.. Yes, after almost 3 lovely years with them.. I have had some many problems in the last few months with not one, but both of my laptops [one is my wife's].. So tomorrow I will be sending my powerbook G4 to a guy and I hope that it comes back fixed, and won't cost too much. As for my wife's MacBook I ordered a new hard drive and some more RAM that should do the trick..

I should start a discussion called "things that people should tell you before you buy something.." maybe come up with a shorter name though..

Here are a few things..

1. Most cell phone batteries are not supposed to last more than a year.. [Bethany figured this out] thanks for the heads up Verizon..

2. Most hard drives are not supposed to last more than a year and a half.. [Once again Bethany figured this out].. thanks apple.

3. Sometimes if you have a laptop for years and there doesn't seem to be any problems with it.. it might not turn on after you turn it off.. [Yep that is what happened to me]

These are just a few things that everyone may need to know before they purchase something of value.. One more thing is I think everyone should buy apple care for their computers if they want any help from apple..

Thanks for reading.. I don't know when I will have time to post again, but when and if I do... I have some pictures from a trip that I took to San Francisco that I will put on here.

Talk to you soon..

a liter of cola.. fun, fun stuff.

So we have already come back from the C3 conference in Texas, and it was pretty sweet.. but I still wanted to talk a little about it and post some pictures.. While we were in Texas, we ate a lot of food. But one place we went to was a Memphis, TN style BBQ.. and the had a whole bunch of stuff on the walls and whatnot all having to do with music... It totally reminded me of that movie super troopers for more than one reason.. first the stuff on the walls, and second.. they had served us up liters of cola, well the one Dan has is iced tea, but still.. So all in all good food for the trip.


The conference was really good, and the church, just like everything in Texas was really big... I will post more on what I learned and took away from the conference in my next blog, but for now.. here is a couple of pictures of this crazy big church.. [the vertical lights you see are leds and they changed color alot, the lights and the scaffolding were all rented from Christmas until the conference that year.]

Traveling.

So yesterday me, Dan, Nate, and Nate's dad [Dale] all headed out to Texas for a conference called the Creative Church Conference or C3.. It is this really amazing display of what God's creativity looks like in the church setting.. The bummer is that it seemed like it took forever to get here, and Nate was really sick the whole time.. Dan talks a little more about this in his blog.


Last year this conference got Nate and I really excited for what we could bring to the Stirring, and this year I am looking forward to seeing how it will affect us. The speaker line up is pretty good and besides Ed Young, the two speakers that I am looking forward to the most are.. Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Brian Huston [the pastor at Hillsong church]. So it should be really good. I will let you all know how it goes over the next couple of days.

Noisey child.

o today was a laid back day.. I should have been working, but I decided that it was more important to do the exact opposite today. Me and the family went and visited a few friends [Akshay Lazarus, and Wendy & Andy Williams].. Then we headed over to Bestbuy and checked out the new MacBook Air.. If you haven't touched, or even seen this thing yet... you should head over to Bestbuy sometime and pick it up.. The name says it all.. It is really, really light.. I would probably never buy one [not really built for what I would want to use it for], but they are pretty sweet..


After we left bestbuy we continued down the strip heading in and out of several stores with the stroller.. Almost the whole time we were going around these stores Josiah was sleeping... Until we got into Pier 1.. That is when he started doing this..

I love my son.. He is amazing, and now really loud. The whole rest of the time we were out and about he was making these noises and smiling the whole time.. I love being a dad.. If you aren't then I would definitely recommend it, that and marriage..

Ohio and back.

So i just went on a trip to visit family and friends and now I am back. I realized that almost every time I go to Ohio, I am sick the entire time and a few days when I get back.. This totally is not fun.. but now I am back and I am busy. I thought that this trip would be really easy and that I could get some work done while I was gone, but I was wrong.. and now I have some catching up to do. So if you think about it pray for me.

We had a good time overall and, I just want to publicly thank my family for buying us tickets and flying out to visit. I love you guys. Thanks again,

Check out Skybus.. cheep tickets.

Poll: Where fun and exciting places are you flying to this year.?
