Family First

February 2, 2009

Ed Stetzer just posted some practical thoughts on how he maintains the priority of his family in the midst of a very busy life. I’m sure some people note how much he travels and speaks, and wonders where does his family fit in? He lays it all out there for us to see and in [...]

Hulu

February 2, 2009

I’ve been using Hulu for a while now. It’s a slick site that streams TV and film. Programming does have commercials, but films are unedited and they have a good and growing selection. One of my favorite commercials from the Super Bowl was from Hulu. Full disclosure. I appreciate that.
