10 Million bucks says Google wins!
Google GPhone is not real, but Android is. Android is the Google Cell Phone platform that will rock the industry. Again, Google leads out with a wonderful “open” platform that will soon dominate! Check out this video to learn more:

Oh yea…the 10 million bucks… “The Android Developer Challenge will award $10 million to developers who build great apps for Android. Learn more!“
I wonder if the iPhone SDK will look anything like this. Link

I found this on YouVersion today. We launched version .01 of the Dashboard, and it lets you see the most recent contributions to YouVersion as well as some other stuff I will blog about later.
Anyway…I thought the video was great. Very convicting for me since I have a very hard time turning the critique mode off! Actually if I was really honest with you, I would tell you I do not currently have the…

Mini Me is Tree! This weekend our little Reese turned 3. Holy cow, where has all the time gone? Next Reia will turn 6 on Christmas Eve…what a blessing it is to have such a wonderful family.
Media Temple Grid-Server
One month ago on Oct 6th, 2007 we moved a lot of our web hosting to Media Temple (MT) Grid-Server (gs). So far, so good. Actually no… so far, so great. Let me give you a little background and why we made the change.
For the longest, we had hosted ourself via dedicated servers at Softlayer in Dallas. We LOVE Softlayer, and continue to use them on many projects. For example, we have 11 servers with Softlayer being used for YouVersion, Open, Video Streaming, Second Life Quicktime streaming, LifeChurch.tv, and some SMS projects.
Again, I love Softlayer, but I do not want to become LifeChurch.tv Hosting. Well, what I mean by that is we were really getting deeper, and deeper into an area where there are tons of professionals. So we decided that we were not going to become a professional hosting company, and we are going to use professionals. So we looked all around, and choose Media Temple (gs).
Currently we have 2 Media Temple (gs) accounts with an addition Lite MySQL GridContainer. 1 (gs) account for production, and 1 (gs) account for development. What is a GridContainer you ask? “MySQL GridContainer is perfect for customers who require large amounts of database memory and guaranteed performance with absolute reliability for their database-driven websites.”
Sites currently on 1 MT (gs) account- MySecret.tv, 30DaystoLive.tv, Blog.YouVersion.com, SatanHatesLife.com, Spread.LifeChurch.tv and Swerve.LifeChurch.tv.
When I first looked at MediaTemple (gs) I saw that it was $20 per month, and said something like… “There is NO way I am going to use something that is $20 per month to run our sites.” A month in we could not be happier. Here are a few things that I really like about the service.
Outstanding Control Panel
GPU Usage Reports
GridContainers
Reports (Urchin)
So far, there has been one challenge that does not have a solution. SSH. Each $20 account only has one SSH admin log in. So for us, with many different developers and external contractors we are unable to give SSH access to remote contractors. So, we have had to make some procedual changes, but it has not really caused to many issues.
If you are looking for a great place to host your websites, take a look at MediaTemple…it’s hard to beat $20 /month!
