A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the shepherd, “If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?”
The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered, “Sure.”
The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his notebook and connected it to a cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the Internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, received a response.

Very interesting op-ed by David Brooks from the New York Times this past weekend. In it Brooks addresses the culture shock awaiting the current class of college graduates as the leave the very structured life of their adolescence and enter the chaos that is the adult world.
This year’s graduates are members of the most supervised generation in American history. Through their childhoods and teenage years, they have been monitored, tutored, coached and honed to an unprecedented degree.

Social Media Effectiveness research
My latest project aims to understand how nonprofits can use social media to create awareness and develop community.
The Social Media Effectiveness study builds on the 2010 Excellence in Online Ministry study of social media presence management best practices from over 100 leading ministries.

Last December I was interviewed by Jake Spring of The Sun News, a daily newspaper in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for an article on church social media. He was interested in some of my research on how churches are using social media and wanted to know what trends I was seeing.
The article was published on December 24, 2010. I guess I’ve been pretty focused on what my family is going because I didn’t know it had been published and only just thought to look for it. You can see the article online here.

My dad was born on a Monday and died on a Friday.
That seems kind of appropriate; but I’m not really sure why.
He lived 22,992 days, of which I was alive for 11,999 of them.
That also seems kind of appropriate.
My dad died at the age of 62 after a nearly 4 year fight with lung cancer.
He never smoked a day in his life…
as Vonnegut would say – So it goes.
My dad was a good man. A man of solid values and integrity of character.
I know this because I saw my dad’s character tested when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1984, through the 11 years that he provided for his family while caring for his wife, and in the last months and weeks in 1997 as stuck with her and took care of her as her body finally gave up it’s fight.

The Facebook Tango
Shortly after quietly introducing a new feature that would allow application developers to access users’ contact information, Facebook has disabled the feature.
According to CNN:
“Over the weekend, we got some useful feedback that we could make people more clearly aware of when they are granting access to this data,” Facebook wrote on its developer blog. “We agree, and we are making changes to help ensure you only share this information when you intend to do so.”
