  • 5 Best Online Communities for Kids

    If you don’t have young kids, than you probably have no idea that social networking has really taken off for kids. In fact, I’d call these social play sites. Our kids are completely addicted to them. They are safe, fun, and most of them teach values that any parent would like to encourage. Here are…

  • Engaing students online

    Later this morning I’ll be jumping in on a conversation with Tim Schmoyer and a bunch of other youth ministry practicioners to lead a discussion on engaging studets online. It’s actually something I started doing back in 1994. My first freshmen evangelism paper in college was about doing ministry online… so it’s something I’ve got…

  • Oops. A little over technology

And we’ve come to this conclusion: Most decisions are morally neutral and the outcome depends on you. Quick disclaimer: Look, I know that there…

  • How Apple Handles Viruses

    As a recent convert to Mac, I truly enjoy the simplicity of our computers. When I say “convert” I also mean that literally. We went all out. I have an iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro in my house.  With that many Macs in our house I try to keep up on the latest news. And…

  • Paul and the Internet

    I’m a web geek, my wife is a (hot) web geek, and my kids are web geeks. If you don’t have young kids I don’t think you really understand what I mean by “our kids are web geeks.” So here is a visual for you. Paul, who turns 5 next week, navigates the web very…

  • A guy looking for a job

    OK, he probably didn’t get fired. But making fun of people lined up to buy the iPhone 3G was probably not the smartest thing he could do that increase his popularity.
