Two Kindles and the Earthquake in Japan (Guest Post)

Sus Schmitt

While taxiing to the end of the runway, maybe five minutes before full power would be applied and we would take off, the huge 747 began bouncing up and down, the wings flapping. It wasn’t nearly as bad as some mid-air turbulence I’ve experienced, but we weren’t in the air! There isn’t supposed to be turbulence on the ground!
When the pilot came over the loudspeaker he said, “Folks, we’re having an earthquake.”
People around us were using their mobile phones to check news reports.
Our mobile phones on the T-Mobile system (GSM system) don’t work on Japan’s cellular system. But Kay and I each have an Amazon Kindle with 3G world cell phone service for downloading books and also with very rudimentary web browsers

But what if Facebook offered a different kind of status to update each time we logged in?  Instead of posing the question, What’s on your mind? What if Facebook asked, What’s in your heart? Would we type discontentment, idolatry, satisfaction, joy? Since we all search for significant connection and community in this life, Facebook seems like a natural tool … Continue reading Adorn Your Facebook Profile

Are You Easy to Find on Facebook?

Sus Schmitt

Would you like a unique Facebook address, but the URL for your Facebook Profile looks like this? facebook.com/profile.php?id=(random number) Would you like it to be: facebook.com/(your name)? You should be able to go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ to create a unique URL for your profile. However, if your name is very common, Suzie Q, for instance, you may have to settle for a name like SuzieQ2. If you have a fan page, you can also have a unique URL after you have twenty-five fans for your page. I was able to do this for eQuipping for eMinistry using http://www.facebook.com/eQuipping4eMinistry (While you’re at … Continue reading Are You Easy to Find on Facebook?
