Twitter schooled me 7000 edition
1. Twitter moves fast. Very Fast. If you follow a lot of people, and you blink, you WILL miss something. {p.s. – it’s ok to miss something!}
2. A lot of people on twitter have the same job – “internet gurus” or “SEO experts.” {I have no idea what either does by the way.}
3. You can use twitter to do some REALLY cool stuff. {like this}
4. You can almost become obsessed with how many people are “following” you. {You just have to learn to not care about it.}
5. People that you interact with on twitter are REAL people. There is actually a human {and often times a family} behind that avatar.
6. Twitter is really a time machine. {for instance, one day I sat down at 1pm and starting using twitter, one second later it was 5 pm – crazy!}
7. I have no idea how Guy Kawasaki makes his living.{I mean it, I really have no clue – do you?}
8. People who don’t use twitter have no idea why people who do, do!
9. Even though it’s really awesome to build so many new friendships on twitter, I have to be really careful to cultivate the friendships I already have. {this includes friends, wives, dogs, fish, etc.}
10. (TweetDeck) + (Any other thing) = “Any other thing “not getting done very well, or taking much more time then it normally takes.
11. My relationship with God is more important then my relationship with Twitter. {much more important.}
12. My relationship with my wife is more important then my relationship with Twitter. {much more important.}
13. It’s sort of funny {and annoying} when someone sends a message to me and says “hey will you follow me?” {unless of course it’s @human3rror, in that case that you should follow him, because he really likes followers!
14. There’s a guy on twitter who has over 20 Emmy’s! {plus he’s a Christians, my friend, and I’ve hung out with twice now – sweet!}
15. There are some SUPER cool people on twitter. {I’ve gotten to meet MANY of them first hand!}
16. When someone sends you DM they expect you answer it within five minutes. {note – I don’t take my laptop in the bathtub with me!}
17. It hurts the feelings of my friends and family when I use twitter on my iphone while we are out at dinner or just hanging out. {they are super nice, and would never tell me that, but I know it does. I really need to stop doing that.}
18. I do not need to get on twitter during church service, or class lecture. {I need to stop doing this also…..}
19. I sort of like it when I post a picture on twitter, and it gets a lot of views. {any other people out there check their picture views?}
20. Twitter is funnier then a “beachball at a Nickelback concert”! {pop quiz – anyone know where that quote comes from?}
These are just a few things I’ve learned at 7,000 twitter posts. What are some things you’ve learned. {Rather you are at 70 posts, or 70,000.}
Train Friday goes viral
It was less then a week ago that the idea for Train Friday was born, and the response has been amazing. People have been blogging about it, tweeting about it, and making videos like this one.
We have no idea what will happen tomorrow, but we are excited to see! What started out as just a fun idea as morphed into something much more. The rapid speed that this idea has caught on is proof of the power of social networking. {more on that subject in later posts.}
We hope to see you there!

innovation 3 the aftermath
Long after the lights went out at innovation3 last week, there was a determined, awesome, and humble, group of people who would were simply not willing to let the party die. Who kept the party going. A group that started large, and eventually slimmed down to five. The #5.
This is their story.
dennys + free = crazy delicious
Today Denny’s gave out free Grand Slam’s to anyone who showed up! Being one to never turn down a free meal, me, John, and Jonathan, thought we’d take them up on their offer! As you can see in this video, we had allot of fun!
Did you go to Denny’s today? If so, how was it? If not – what did YOU have for breakfast???
{p.s. – I”m not sure why the video is cropped sort of weird, I think the image stabilization had something to do with it. – sorry}
trains burgers and free wifi
Yesterday I decided to board the TRE and head over to Ft. Worth for a little adventure. I enjoy doing random things like this for several reasons. 1. I get the chance to meet people whom I would never, and hopefully find a way to share Christ with them! 2. These sorts of things really help me to get my creative “juices” flowing, which in turn helps me in my sermon preparation. (and I often find great illustrations by doing these sorts of things. 3. Get’s me out of Dallas for a little while; which is always good! 4. It’s just fun. I enjoy random. Random can be good. Random can be fun. (as long as we’re not talking about Scripture, or teaching Scripture in which order is VITAL. God is a God of order, not a “random” God!) But in life, we need to mix it up sometimes! We need to ride more “trains!”
-Enjoy,
{rick}.
Batman and Robin remix eposide one
I can’t believe I’m making this public! A few summers back I was part of the programming team for a student venture youth conference in Colorado. We made a series of videos to play during that conference, the fruit of which you are about to witness! I will be posting the rest of these in the coming days! Enjoy!
{p.s. – I apologize in advance for the red tights!}
they love me in japan
I was in Tokyo, Japan a few years back, and I got to meet this AWESOME guy. He is some-what famous in Tokyo. He is know as the “eye glass rapper.” He just stands in front of this eyeglass store all day, and raps! He was nice enough to let me spend a few minutes with him!
