A really nice New Inception Infographic coming from a design competition thrown by FastCompany. Really a great new infographic!

So I've got my face firmly planted on the storefront glass window. And no, its not the Mac Store I'm staring in this time. Its the new website entitled Dribbble.com instead. Shaun Inman is in. I'm out. Cameron Moll is in. I'm out. My face is pressed up against the glass and my eyes are wide staring in.
Its rare a video completely stops me in my tracks and makes me crane my neck. But this video popped my head clean off its shoulders. Check it out.
So this past weekend I did something extremely un-impulsively crazy. I got a tattoo. Yeah, that's right... me, the geekiest white guy on the planet... a tattoo. The nerd in your class that looked down his nose at all you unconventional types. The guy who never swore, never drank and probably the last thing on his mind, ever, was a tattoo.

Five inspirational social networking websites for non-profit and Christian organizations that strive to solve problems daily around the world.
I believe that the Church is losing out on millions and millions of dollars - potentially billions - every single year in licensing costs and SAAS fees. Thinking about this problem a little differently I realized that the Church has within its walls some of the most amazingly talented developers, designers and leaders in the world. Why aren't these world class developers using their talents to solve problems key strategic problems that the Church is curently paying large dollars for monthly and annually? Or better yet - why aren't these developers creating unique solutions that only the Church really fully understand? And better yet, why aren't these developers and leaders giving their time to the Church for free to help solve a problem world wide and not pillaging the bride of Christ with high usage fees and licensing costs? Right.

But I commend the guys of World Wide Open for giving it a go regardless of the outcome. It is this kind of big picture thinking that is severely lacking within the body of the Church right now. How are we globally thinking to solve world wide pandemics as Christ's Church is supposed to be doing daily?
See. This is what I’m talking about. This is a company out of MN that is throwing the gauntlet down....

Many companies today dive into web2.0 (blogging, twitter, viral media campaigns, social networking) experiments because others are. Not for any underlying reason. It is important to be intentional about our efforts within this arena. Go where your customers are going. Start the conversation where they want to have it... not because your nearest competitor may beat you to it.
Heck, they are so outside the box they occassionally redesign "the box" as exemplified by the above milk box experiment. Just love the solid coloring and evocative white on the face. The type is a beauty to behold and the splash at the front bottom just adds that extra something. Very nicely done.
