Web Services I Need Please
There are so many things that I wish existed that don’t yet. Would you invent this please?
1. A way to brainstorm on a computer. Like a massive white board, where I can easily drill down on topics to see the details. I can zoom-out and see the whole picture, and look at the details on [...]

As the kids say…
I’ve been hearing some cool new words/phrases lately. If you want to be cool too, start subtley incorporating these into your word usage:
JUNK = instead of “oh crap” you say “aw, junk!”
FIRE = “that’s sweet” is now “that’s fire“
da JAM = similar to fire – “your tuppe is da JAM“
killer = awesome, sweet -
what’s crackin [...]

Race as a Brand
I was thinking this morning about Culturism again.
Our brains are setup to work with “stereotypes.” In the Cognitive Science world this is called … I forget what it’s called – schema or something. We categorize, lump, and simplify concepts, places, objects and we make associations in our brains. We associate “fire” with “hot”, “orange”, “cooking”, [...]

Livin’ in a Van …
I had a very awesome meeting with Los yesterday. We had lunch and talked about blogging. That guy is genius, but anyway – he told me that part of his blogging success is that his blog has a face and a personality. He also throws in posts about his personal and family life, which adds [...]

Most Segregated Day of the Week
This is another installment of my thoughts on Culturalism Not Racism.
In the Church we sometimes talk about how the Church is pretty segregated. It is. White churches are mostly white, black churches are mostly black. Why is this!? The Church should be one!
I think it’s because of different church cultures. The typical White church and [...]

Culturism, not Racism
I’ve been thinking about Racism for the last few years. A common refrain I hear that condemns racism is that “people shouldn’t be judged because their skin is a different color.”

Churchology.com
I’m trying to make a new website. I’m interested in branching-out into the Church speculation/content/discussion/blog world. Churchology.com will be my flagship. But not if I can’t get a hold of Bryan Johnson. According to WhoIs.net, he owns Churchology.com, and he hasn’t responded to me emails, so … we’ll see.
I’m also thinking about starting a podcast, [...]
