Look ma, I’m on the TV!

Well John and Jen blogged it so I guess I can too…

Bluer, the small community of faith I belong to, is going to be featured on ABC Nightline news.

Yeah. It takes a while to sink in.

I’ve been told I cannot, under any circumstances, wear my monkey shirt. Which is cool, because I vowed to never wear it to church after the first time – it was so distracting some people completely missed the scripture I was reading… and that’s just not cool.

Monkey Scratch and Sniff T-shirt

John asked:

…please pray that somehow the Kingdom is served by this.

Ditto.

NCU Discussion of Facebook

Tonight I had the privilege to talk to a group of North Central University students about blogging, syndication and podcasting. The invite came from my friend Stephen who teaches the class.

During the class we decided to record a podcast together. The subject at hand was FaceBook, a social networking site for college students. A recent article in the school paper had ignited a debate about the school ‘lifestyle policy’ and people bragging about defying it on FaceBook, the possible blocking of FaceBook by the administration.

Here are the unvarnished and uncensored thoughts of 8 students: Facebook Discussion [5.4 MB MP3]

For the students, here are some resources for you:

I’ll post MP3s of my talk here as soon as I can.

Here’s the audio from my talk. It’s raw and unedited. It was a live, 3 hour lecture with little prep time, so keep that in mind as you listen ;-)
