Vote Ron Paul
Today, my vote for Ron Paul mailer showed up. That makes me happy!!!

Foo Fighters vs. John McCain

So, if you did not know I was suppose to go to the Foo Fighters show last night in OKC. Well, the show was canceled/rescheduled due to illness. Oh my, I was in morning for hours! But quickly I redirected my attention to the Florida primary. I was excited…

Well, Florida came and went…and I sure wish that the Foo Fighters show was not canceled. Florida frankly stunk. The dems did not count, and the repubs voted for McCain. Oh my….

Anyway some very interesting things are brewing:

John Edwards is dropping out. (Bill Clinton is on the phone with him promising him the world right now!)

McCain wins Florida, and in my prediction seals the Republican Nomination.

Foo Fighers vs. John McCain….I vote for Foo…. Grohl and Hawkins would make a great Indi ticket. :)

But on a serious note, pay very close attention to Edwards…his endorsement will be HUGE! I don’t think it would be over for Hillary if Edwards swings to Obama…but there is no doubt that if Edwards jumped on the Clinton machine…The Big O would be done. I can not see Edwards supporting Hillary..but I have been wrong most of the time so far.

Tiger Woods SOLD OUT!

This is ridiculous! Tiger, what the heck are you thinking? There is no amount of money that they could pay you for you to say this. And there is no way, no way that Elin rides in a Buick.

The Reality of Angles

Have you ever noticed that objects or things look different from different angles? The angle in which you look at the new Honda Accord…it might look a little like a popular German sedan. Maybe the angle of how you take pictures of yourself. Some of you might like the angle from the left…maybe the right. Or…maybe the angle from above is the best. How about those crazy pictures that if you look at them just the right way, or at the right angle you see something that you don’t see from other angles. (I personally NEVER see that stupid thing!)

Today I had an opportunity to see life from a different angle. I would like to take a moment and thank my friend Paul for allowing me to adjust my angle for a few hours and see life a little differently. See, Paul is homeless and in America without a green card. That being the case, he still has an a amazing story, and God is doing amazing things through Paul. Today I was able to adjust my perspective a bit, and see life from a different angle…and it was amazing and very eye opening.

The reality is friends….we look at life from a vary, vary narrow angle. It is times like today, with Paul that I am able to realize that my angle, and perspective on life is ridiculously narrow. You see, everything that I do, say and see is from my ridiculously narrow angle. The way I look a politics, the way I look at my family, and most of all, the way I look at God. The Reality of Angles! I am really trying to widen mine…how about you?

The Friday Dump

Ok, maybe that was not the best title….but maybe it was. Here is a very random dump of information.

I am excited to launch our new LifeChurch.tv site Feb 8th

The new site will be connected with Fellowship One.

Fired up about attending SXSW.

I am addicted to Twitter. Check my Twit out here.

It is awesome to have a development “team”…

If LifeChurch.tv was the most innovative church in 2008…just wait! You know the song. You ain’t seen nothin yet.

YouVersion Beta R6.5 is now live. Share it with others.

Speaking at MinistryTECH. I have NO idea what I am talking about.

Are you Fuddled? You can get UnFuddled with an awesome tool. We are using it for the new site.

HD 720p podcasts are tweaked and ready for prime time. We will make the official with the next series.

Foo Fighters concert is going to be amazing…I just know it.

Apple, please release the new AppleTV upgrade…please…hurry.

Date night tonight. That is the best news of all.

Gotta run. Have a great weekend!

Old School…Memories!

Tonight I was doing some picture management for Robin. After changing computers around I need to get all our pictures back in one location. Anyway, I ran into this picture of Brian Bailey and I leading a session at a C3 conference in Jan 2005 about blogging and technology. Wow, feels like ages ago…I thought I would share.

Brian and Terry

I loved that 12″ Powerbook!

iNeedHelpVoting.com

Just seconds ago I registered iNeedHelpVoting.com. Now, I really don’t have much of an idea of what I am going to do with it, but it seamed like the right thing to do.

So, do you need help voting? Maybe you really don’t know what the candidates stand for. Do you really care? Here is a very interesting site that might give you a little assistance.

Can you guess where I landed? (x)

Holy blank…. Hillary Wins!

Jaw dropped and in utter amazment, “The Clinton Machine” takes New Hampshire. Hillary wins… What is totally nuts, just a few weeks ago Hillary was leading the polls in NH by 10%+…yesterday most polls put Obama up by 7-11%. What a swing, and that is what makes New Hampshire so unique with 44% Independent voters.

Here are the results.

Democrats (87% in)

Clinton 39%
Obama 37%
Edwards 17%
Richardson 5%

Republicans (86% in)

McCain 37%
Romney 32%
Huckabee 11%
Giuliani 9%
Paul 8%
Thompson 1%

If you could not tell, I am having a blast with this….and was really wrong again. Maybe I need to start listening and reading some new information. :) Actually I should stop reading and listening to anything but Brian, he almost nailed it this time!

I can say that I am a little, well actually, a lot disappointed with Ron Paul’s results. NH was suppose to be a solid state for Paul, and he fell short. I was hoping for 3rd, expecting 4th and got 5th place. Oh well, thats politics I guess. I still love his message.

Next Primaries to watch:
South Carolina, January 19th
Nevada, January 19th
Florida, January 29th

Unintelligent New Hampshire Predictions

On the heals of my Unintelligent Iowa predictions…here is my “guess” for New Hampshire.

Democrats

1. Obama 40%
2. Clinton 29%
3. Edwards 22%
4. Richardson 5%

Republicans

1. McCain 31%
2. Romney 27%
3. Paul 13%
4. Huckabee 11%
5. Giuliani 9%
6. Thompson 3%

It should be a fun day following POTUS, CNN,  MSNBC and Twitter hearing the results come in all day.

Ron Paul backlash…

Many of you might know, but Dr. Ron Paul was left out of the Republican forum on the Fox News Channel last night. I personally think it was crazy to leave him out, and a total mistake on Fox News part. How can you leave a candidate out that pull double digit support in the previous Caucus and has raised over 20 million dollars in the 4th quarter, more than any other Republican candidate. Insanity!!!

Anyway, Ron will be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight, so I look forward to that. If you are interested, here are the latest town hall meetings from New Hampshire.
