Creating and Monetizing Communities
Published by Jeff, on March 3rd, 2007 in Front Page, Geekery, Leadership, Stuff I Find.The title of this post comes from a video posted on Guy Kawasaki’s blog about a Chicago company called Threadless that has users create designs for T-Shirts and then sells the finished product. I thought it was an interesting way to talk about there business, and I haven’t finished watching the video yet, so I’m posting the link here for my own future reference. You might like it too.
If you have the time to watch it, post a comment about what you think about “creating and monetizing” a community.

My home server was hacked!
Published by Jeff, on December 13th, 2006 in Front Page, Geekery, Home Media System.I’m posting this here to hopefully warn other people who are running mythtv on a home server. Here is what happened:
NOTE: Unless you know Linux a little, this won’t make sense.

Last Spring, I wrote a blog article describing my plans to create a “connected home media system.” (It’s the first entry in this category.) It’s been a while, but I thought it was about time to share what I’ve actually done to create the system so far. If you’re interested to read some of my computer ramblings, then read on!

sharemytestimony.org
Published by Jeff, on November 10th, 2006 in Church Planting, Evangelism, Front Page, Geekery.A new website has recently been created by Justin Carboneau called sharemytestimony.org with the primary purpose of giving people a place to share their personal testimonies online. It’s an interesting concept, and his web design isn’t half bad, but I’m personally unsure of the value such a site might have. From the website:
This site was started to encourage people to share their testimony about how they came to have faith in Christ. It is also meant to inspire people to grow in their relationship with God, by seeing how God has worked in the lives of people across the world. My hope is that every Christian who visits this site will share their testimony, because everyone who accepts Christ as their savior has an incredible story to share with the world.
What do you think?

Explain to me, how this fits in with primates??? With all due respect, i think his aim with "god set it up that way" was meant to be an insult of some kind. He sounds very passionate about this subject and with passion comes biases. While i'm not researched in anyway on this specific argument, generally speaking i'm convinced these people only look at their "evidence" with one prospective; 1st proves evolution or doesn't.. They don't even consider any other possibility of what it could mean..Taken at face value because i don't know anything about the human gnome and could be missing key things due to pure ignorance. Start of video; You had plenty of time to research and form a "theory" on something then proceed to drop this well researched project on someone and expect them to refute you on the drop of dime?? I dont think you need a PHD to say; you should allow someone to try refute your findings within a respectable time frame. That seems like the most objective thing to do. Although i think this would show insecurity on "Ken's" part. (To have holes punched in something your just presenting would be kind embarrassing. or was it arrogance?) Rest of video: Sounds like its not an exact match, "within 15 bases", and something about Telomeres not belonging? The choice of "correspond with" instead of something like is "exactly like", implicates some differences as well?.. But i could be completely wrong.. "no reason, no rhyme" sounds like he is insulting the bible as well. Would be very interested in hearing a completely objective view on these findings..
