i am second
Feb 23rd
i came across iamsecond.com a few months and recently it was on the collide magazine blog, so i took some time to check it out again. here’s the description of the site from the about page…
“i am second is a movement where significance in life is a shared value among people of all kinds. actors. athletes. musicians. business leaders. your next-door neighbor. people just like you. their authentic stories here on imsecond.com provide insight into dealing witht he typical struggles of everyday living. you’ll meet people who overcame destructive lifestyles. plugs you’ll discover those who’ve tried to go it alone and have failed, yet still found a life full of hope, peace and fulfillment.”
the site has some really great video content. they are very strong stories protrayed in video format. the videos have a unique look and site is pretty slick as well.
if you have some time to sit and watch, you should check it out.
on a side note, it has the amazing story of josh hamilton, a fellow journey church member.
thank you google

i continue to find the benefits of investing in the benefits of google. i consider myself a fairly avid blog reader, at least of blogs that i really want to keep up with. until recently i had been subscribing to all of the rss feeds using the tools in firefox. i had heard about all of these fancy rss readers, but i never did enough blog reading to merit having a seperate program for reading blogs. on a bit of boredom the other day (i don’t know where the boredom came from) i decided to explore google reader. i was skeptical at first, but immediately fell in love with it. iGoogle is my homepage and of course there is a gadget for google reader. now i can receive all of my unread blog posts directly from my homepage! i no longer have to go to each individual blog and see if the writer has posted something new. of course i still have the option to visit the original blog post via a link from the gadget, plus take advantage of the other many features google offers me. thank you google…
