This is just a quick update to say I’m having fun working with the team at Halogen, a new socially conscious cable television network based here in Charlotte. It’s also a shameless attempt to get the most views on my Halogen staff video! (Click to watch above)
Seriously, since I joined Halogen three weeks ago, we’ve [...]

I’m positively geeking out at this point about the Theology After Google conference, March 10-12, in Claremont, California, because one of my all-time heroes of the Web and journalism—Jeff Jarvis (BuzzMachine.com)—is now planning to participate in the conference via Skype.
Jarvis is a former TV critic for TV Guide and People magazine, and he’s the [...]

No, I didn’t buy a new car. It’s something even better! I’m excited to finally be able to share that I’ll be starting my new job next week as Social Media Manager for the Halogen TV network, based here in Charlotte. Halogen’s tagline is “socially conscious empowering entertainment,” and all of the station’s content revolves [...]

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking, via Skype, with the “Theology After Google” class at Claremont School of Theology. Tripp Fuller, who is co-leading the class with Phillip Clayton, recorded my abbreviated talk on “The Theology of Twitter,” and I’m grateful to him for posting it online:
I’m extremely excited to be speaking at [...]

On Wednesday, I had the privilege of speaking with Luke Renner, the founder and president of Fireside International, a non-profit media company based in Haiti. He’s been in Port-au-Prince since the day after the massive earthquake there, reporting on the situation and sending back photos and videos telling the stories of what’s going on.
Luke was [...]

I have a guest post up today at CatalystSpace.com. It’s called “Community Is Crucial, Especially Around the Holidays,” and, as you can imagine, I wrote it last month, reflecting on the suicide of my online friend Gideon Addington.
I talk a little about the “weakness” of social networking in creating the kind of community that [...]

I (heart) futurists. I actually fancy myself to be sort of an armchair futurist (*wink*). I especially love learning about new technology and looking ahead to the potential implications and ramifications of these advances.
Here are a couple of videos that I watched recently that scratched my futurist itch …

I’ve been doing quite a bit of thinking lately about who I am and what I want to do with my life. This process of personal reflection began in March when an issue arose with my former employer that caused me to stop and reevaluate some things — and opened up some space to do [...]

This is the first day of my unemployment. So why do I have “Last Day of Our Acquaintance” running through my head?
Maybe because it’s hard to believe that I’m no longer gainfully employed. I’ve had a full-time job non-stop for the past dozen years or so. I guess I just don’t feel unemployed yet. And [...]

I had the opportunity to speak on theology and social media recently at the Christian Education 2.0 conference at Pfeiffer Unversity, which gave me a chance to think about three distinct challenges facing churches as they engage social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, blogs, etc.). I posted the presentation “The Theology of Twitter” on [...]
