Diary.of.a.Happy.White.Man

Here you’ll find the journal of an average man wrought with joy. One day you’ll find this diary in libraries across America between copies of Anne Frank and A Million Little Pieces.

I’m Back [and with a new direction]

Welcome. I write for church leaders on topics like strategy and communication. Since this is your first visit, don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed.You might have noticed that I haven’t been blogging lately. There are oodles of reasons for my blogging hiatus over the last few weeks, but the root of it all [...]

Free Wordpress Install/Setup Update

The free Wordpress installs/setups for church leaders are going well. I had to put some parameters on the offer. In the beginning, there were a few folks taking advantage of the free setup and trying to get more than I was really willing to give. Honestly though, it was partially my fault for not setting [...]

The Twitterrific Killer [With Video Tutorial]

As I write this, Twitter is down for maintenance, which makes this post seem a little silly.
I’ve been using Twitterrific (not easy to spell) on my MAC for about three months. Until now, it was really the best option for what I needed to get done. However, it’s become increasingly bothersome to me. The biggest [...]

3 Things Worth Mentioning [And Another Video]

Wow. It’s been a while. I’ve been crazy-busy since getting back from Costa. Between catching up on church work, preparing for our new Wednesday evening schedule, getting back in the rhythm of planning, following up with new clients, responding to the less urgent support requests, completing projects, billing, answering overdue emails, and going to meetings, [...]

10 Reasons to Look Forward to WiBo

There are way too many reasons why I’m stoked about WiBo. To name a few:

Eight smart speakers sounds just right.
Two days away with my buddy, Boyd will be fun.
Lunch with TC and 48 other bloggers will also be fun.
Boyd and I are only carrying one bag each: laptop bag with extra clothes stuffed inside.
Boyd is [...]

This is Why I Run Updatable.

I just spent about 30 minutes talking with a client who is being harrassed by her previous website vendor. I won’t name the web company with which she is dealing, but let’s just say they’re less than professional.
The issue arose when she decided to switch to Updatable (my company) from her previous web company. At [...]
