sticking a fork into my lifestreaming

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Mon, 07/06/2009 - 18:25

Steve Rubel (formerly of Micro Persuasion) is one of those “A-list” bloggers, and he explained “why I am forking my content“. He signed off his main blog with: So Long Blogging, Hello Lifestreaming!

I’ve started to put my content into several different buckets, too, coincidentally. And it happened to happen around the same time.

Fellowship of American Chinese Evangelicals newsletters online

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Sat, 06/13/2009 - 09:53

Worship services and churches for the next generation, and even English ministries, were not all that common in ethnic Asian churches back in the days.

One factor that likely contributed towards the development of English ministries within the Chinese/ Asian church was an organization called FACE, the Fellowship of American Chinese Evangelicals, which started:

recalibrating my talking points

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 11:41

Keen observers here at my personal blog may have noticed a change of pace with blog posts as of late. This disruption of rhythm involves 2 things.

One, I’ve been rethinking how I can better communicate my own voice while representing 2 important leadership organizations. Something that’s dawned on me is the stewardship of leadership. In recent years more than before, God has opened more opportunities for me to be more than an amateur color commentator on the Asian American and multiethnic church, which is still how I prefer to see myself. And a lot of this comes from my employment and association and affiliation with L² Foundation and Leadership Network.

input wanted for accounting church software

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Sat, 06/13/2009 - 12:27

A good number of you expressed interested in an accounting and database software for small churches that is under development by some people I know of. Here’s an update from Dan Kelly, who’d like to have input “from people before the software is complete to ensure it meets their needs”:

Sulu actor is also a Pastor’s Kid

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 18:12

In this Asian Pacific Arts interview, The Game-Changer: An Interview with John Cho, by Oliver Wang, we discover a bit of the actor’s family background and intersection with faith. Arguably “Hollywood’s most visible Asian American” with his latest role as Sulu in the Star Trek reboot. I first saw John Cho in the infamous Harold and Kumar movie.

APA: Your father was a minister. What denomination?

JC: This was a denomination called Church of Christ.

It all unravels eventually. Whether it’s getting tired of hiding the indiscretion, telling a lie, living a lie. Or, getting caught red-handed.

orange you like David Crowder

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Thu, 07/16/2009 - 12:13

Are you seeing orange everywhere too? It’s fast becoming the hot color of the season or something. I got this link, like many of you, titled “Twitter will kill you” and being an avid twitterer myself, I’m open to hearing what the critics critique, or what the mockers mock. And look what shows up in the video:

Am I a sell-out too?

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Mon, 06/08/2009 - 10:49

Danny Yang has now apologied for triggering a firestorm of comments for his provocatively titled blog post, Is Francis Chan a sell-out?

francis-chan The title obviously struck a nerve, and provoked a good number of mis-readings and reactions, even though it was clearly spelled out in that very blog post that Danny did not think he was a sell-out:

Why is it so hard to find a church

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Sun, 08/09/2009 - 11:26

Recently I’ve been asked, time and again, “I’m having a hard time finding a church.” I find the question surprising. Look at this map below of Irvine, California, where every red dot represents a church. (granted, not every Google search of the word church is a church, but most of them are churches.. and not every church has the word church in its name.. so let’s call it even.)

Which is the best video interview style?

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Mon, 08/03/2009 - 21:36

I’ve used several different ways to record video interviews on a shoe-string hacker’s budget. I don’t have names for these video styles, maybe some video producer can reply with what they are called. Now, which technique do you think is best?

3 things about twitcam you might not know

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 20:59

Online Experiment #231. After a couple of tries of using twitcam.com to livestream in conjunction with my secondary twitter account @djchuang247, there were a few aha’s that weren’t all that obvious to me, especially with a minimalistic web page design. The minimalism does make it very easy to use, granted.

to Texas and back

Submitted by UrbanMinistry Bloggers on Sat, 07/25/2009 - 00:34

Thrilled to be in Dallas this week for the Ideation Experience hosted by Leadership Network. I didn’t spend much time at the laptop keyboard and made most of my time with f2f conversations. For great notes on the process of ideation and innovation, see http://jennicatron.tv

And, while it is possible to type on this smartphone, blogging thoughtfully does go so much better, and faster, on a full size keyboard.

To glance back at my week, look at my instablog http://daily.djchuang.com and my 24/7 twitter feed http://twitter.com/djchuang247
