Just like the fact that there appears to be an app for everything these days there’s also a timing for everything as well.
Not all apps will be wildly successful; sometimes it’s more of a timing issue than functional one.

Some day I’d love to speak at a TEDx (or even TED) event one day.
We’ve got one here in Atlanta, just announced for this year on November 8th, 2013. The theme this year is Catalyze:
Our theme this year is “Catalyze” and we have begun curating our speaker roster for 2013. We are looking for inspirational talks about catalysts in action as well as initiatives/projects/programs that have been unexpectedly accelerated or changed by catalysts.
If you’d love for me to speak at this even then you should consider nominating me (*wink* *wink*).
There’s something powerful about a great story and Redwall is one of them. I have read nearly all of Brian Jacques‘ series, only missing a few at the end.
The story of brave mice fighting all sorts of anthropomorphic characters gripped me as a young child and I can still remember the haunting (yet comforting) appearance of such characters (or ghost) as Martin the Warrior.
My pastor has often said this, which I was reminded this morning a handful of times:
Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.
I’ve been thinking about that heavily this morning and it’s rocking my face. Meditate on it for a bit and see what happens.
I took my family out to dinner last night for a simple celebration regarding the completion of the Kickstarter Campaign that I narrowly survived.
I like to keep things simple, meaningful, and intimate. It’s all the celebration that I need. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, just enough.
When I started TentBlogger.com a few years ago I had no idea what I was really doing except that I believed a new philosophy was being developed (curated, institutionalized) within certain online communities that understood the concept of “being a tentmaker online,” or in other words, being a “digital tentmaker.”
You can read more of my somewhat exhaustive overview of this idea here: What is a Digital Tentmaker?
I own more than a few John [dot] whatever domains and there’s one that’s recently come up that I’m thinking about not renewing, and that’s http://john.ly.
The reason I had purchased it was because my middle name is “Lee” and it was neat to say “john ly(lee)” as a domain name.
But, I have no reason to keep it. If there are any other johns out there who want a sweet domain name then this one’s up for grabs. Send me an email with an offer.
I almost never do this (reblog myself) but it’s because Pat himself may never bring this to anyone’s attention directly, but his podcast has hit the top charts on iTunes over the past few days!
Make sure to download it, subscribe, and hear my interview with him in the last segment. I really, really had a great time with it.
Thanks again Pat!
I sat down and finished in one sitting Nolan Bushnell’s Finding the Next Steve Jobs. It was nothing short of fantastic.
The last book that I read about Steve Jobs changed my life. This one didn’t, but it definitely has impacted my thinking in more than a few ways and has validated a number of ideas that have been circling around my head for quite some time.
