I celebrated my 5th year anniversary with my wife this week and I found this the other night.

She truly does “auto complete” me. I’m going to get her an anniversary card with this on it.

For me it started out as a way to document thoughts, observations, and memories throughout the trip. But the cool part about it was that others back home would be able to read my notes. The idea of taking our whole church on our mission trip to Haiti wasn’t fully realized until much later.

The concept was really pretty simple: I tweet, they read.

I never expected to experience what ended up happening.

Let me start by telling you how I set everything up. It’s an important part of how this whole thing worked itself out.

The internet is a resource warehouse.

There are millions of sites that look to share resources, information, and ideas with you the reader. Some of these sites are very well known. Sites like Mashable, Digg, Smashing Magazine, TechCrunch, are just a few that come to mind. But there are some sites that are filled with resources that you do not know about.

Here are three sites that I think you should check every day:

The temporary landing page for a new real time and live tracking analytics service, ChurchAnalytics, is now up!

We’ve got a month of BETA testing going on right now and we’ll be launching it officially next month.

I couldn’t be more excited!

Make sure you view it in Chrome or Safari for a neat little color-changing effect!

I’ve been thinking a lot about comfort and curiosity, especially when I had a situation recently where someone said to me that they didn’t have computers when they were in college. So how could I expect them to understand something like file management?!

I must admit that I got a little frustrated with this individual. You see, just because there were computers in every room at the college I attended, doesn’t mean they were teaching me the basics there. I learned the basics on my own because… well… they are the basics.

Give up the good for the great, right?

*sigh*

If you haven’t seen Arcade Fire’s “The Wilderness Downtown“, which was announced on Google’s blog, it a fantastic example of the power of Chrome and where it can head as a multimedia experience.

Boot the site up in Chrome, type in your address, and be amazed (and a bit spooked):

That would be a somewhat novel idea…!

Perhaps in the near (far?) future we’ll see ministries and congregations that use the web so much (and well) that they will actively revolt against redesigns, just like the Digg.com community does every single time something changes.

But can you imagine that?
