Message over method?

Posted by Brian On February - 9 - 2010 11 COMMENTS

I’ve lived most of my professional career operating under the following guideline:

‘Our methods may change, but our message never will.’

It really sounds good doesn’t it? Being able to say with conviction that we’ll use exciting new methods while keeping our theological heritage intact. It’s a great way to say something we all think.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it true.

Technology is…

…dangerous. I’ve spent much of my life living by the following assumption: “The methods may change, but the message never will.” Unfortunately, this is false. No technology is neutral. Every technology will change you, no matter what you use it to say. Too often we presume to know what a technology will do to use in the church, and too often we accept technology without proper thought. Technology can be leveraged to great heights, but never without change in our message…and never without change in us.

Help with header link…

Posted by Brian On January - 19 - 2010 6 COMMENTS

So if you’ve ever noticed on my site, when I modified the template for my uses I’m unable to click the header to load the homepage anymore. I’m really new to PHP so I can’t figure out how to get that to work.

Here’s the code I’m using in the header to display the image (and the search box):

<div class=”logohead”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

Here’s the code for class logohead:

.logohead{

margin: 0px 0 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0 20px;

width:978px;

height:100px;

background: url(images/logoHEADER3.png)no-repeat;

border:1px solid #fff; }

So that’s it guys. How can I take that code and make it a link to the homepage of my site?

TV on the iPhone…

For anyone looking to watch Full Episodes of your favorite TV shows online, here’s a couple of good options (with varying quality and selection):

1. Download the TV.COM app. It’s from CBS and the content options are slim, but growing.
2. Fire up Safari and visit m.nbc.com. Click on Video…Full Epiodes. Mobile Office? Yes please.
3. Another Safari link. Visit iphone.cwtv.com for CW content. You’re only allowed to use this if you’re 12 or under. Sorry, that’s the law.

For best results, use WiFi.

About me.

In these pages you will find the amassed wisdom of a mid-twenties tech-nerd. I’m almost as passionate about technology as I am about Jesus Christ and my family. When I’m not working as technical director of Rock Bridge Community Church I’m either hanging out with my family or sleeping. This is basically my space to word vomit and share how we do tech at Rock Bridge. Sometimes it’ll be exciting, sometimes it’ll be lame. I make no promises for consistent quality (or any quality for that matter.) Hopefully it’ll be fun and I’ll update it enough to make it worth your while. Peace out.
