    • Read “Newslettering” on Scribd

      Newslettering: Creating Effective Newsletters With Love Scribd picked up my eBook! Ok, getting published by Scribd is like getting picked up by youTube, but here it is anyway, for your viewing pleasure. (BTW, Scribd is great for any PDF file sharing, try it out!). Thanks for all the positive feedback about “Newslettering”, I’m glad some…

    • Newslettering: Creating Effective Newsletters With Love

      Friends, I’d like you to meet my first eBook! Download “Newslettering” here. (in some browsers, right-click to save) When I joined Youth With A Mission in 2002, I realized that one of my most important tasks, though not in the “missionary” job description, was communicating with friends, family and supporters about what I was up…

    • My first eBook ships tomorrow!

      Maybe a year ago or so I discovered the ebook. I’ve loved how Seth Godin has been giving his ideas away via the ebook for a while and David DuChemin’s ebooks about photography are inspiring and helpful. Ebooks are a low-cost, fast, efficient way to share ideas. They can also look really amazing. And now…

    • The Art of NOT Checking Your Email

      Yesterday I tried a little experiment: I checked my email inbox precisely ONCE, just once in the entire day! Of course my curiosity nearly got the best of me at times, “Imagine what new and exciting or urgent emails could be waiting for me right now!” But I refused to crack, and checked and responded…

    • My Ode to the Margin

      Margins are the most under-estimated spaces on a page. I often find myself figuring out, my attempts to maximize each sheet of paper, exactly how close to the edge of a page my printer will print. I try to eliminate margins. Most all of us concern ourselves more with the content than the space around…

    • The “Olivia Photostream” begins

      Tomorrow will mark one week as a father. Olivia has already brought us more joy than we could have imagined, while at the same time bringing us to the end of ourselves on a daily basis. I had never understood what an enormous undertaking parenting is. But we’re loving every minute of it. I’ve always…

    • Lost: Two confessions and a Mystery Box

      Confession #1: I’m hooked on Lost. I never thought this would be me, eagerly awaiting each Tuesday, joining in discussions following each episode, mulling over key lines, speculating, wondering what might happen next. I’m hooked, and I’m loving it. But I must confess one other thing: I haven’t always been hooked. No, I’m a fair-weather…

    • Reminiscing on a Friday Night

      It’s a quiet, snowy Friday night, and I’m feeling sentimental. Within the next week or two our lives will be turned upside down forever. Our baby girl is due to arrive any day, our jobs are coming to a close in a week, and in a couple months we’ll be moving from the city that’s…

    • Flipping the Switch on Change

      I just finished Switch, the newest book from the Heath brothers (authors of Made to Stick). While I was surprised that the second book from Chip & Dan wasn’t about communication, as their first had been, I really enjoyed this one. Switch discusses how to make change happen, both personally and in relationships, as well…
