I’m always looking for ways to better remember things that I come across online or in twitter.  Well it seems you can use a mention or DM of @myen in twitter once you have your account registered and it will automatically enter that info into Evernote.  I find this to be a quick and easy way to save stuff for later, I just hit the Retweet button (so i don’t have to type it all out) and switch it to a “d myen”

What do you use to help stay organized?

One of favorite books that I have actually read (not many of those) is Francis Chan’s Crazy Love. It’s one of those very challenging and make you think type of books that I have to go back and read every once in a while just to get my priorities right.  I’ve included a video below that is the introduction video for book, you’ll want to check this out! Don’t like reading? The audiobook is available for free during the month of July from christianaudio.com. So stop and go download it and start listening and when you finish go tell all your friends!

Have I told you lately how much I love the fact that Mozy sends me an affiliate check every month? It’s pretty easy to get people to sign-up for a free 2GB online backup site that works great.

So follow this link, http://bit.ly/mozyfree, sign-up for your free account and then once you’re registered click on the affiliate link on the bottom of the page and get ready to start getting your checks from Mozy.

This is what I’ve been waiting for and my guess many others have been as well.  Google Apps is releasing a plugin that will allow Apps to act/replace your exchange server with Calendar, Contact, and email syncing with Outlook. Looks.  Hopefully this is included in the Education edition which is free for non-profits.

See it in action in the video below:

I guess I seem to be in the mood for giving stuff away lately.  Just got an email from Grace Hill Media for a free private screening for Eddie Murphy’s new movie, “Imagine That” on June 11th in Tampa a day before it’s official public release. You’ll need to follow the link below to register for this Tampa viewing but you can sign-up for all of their upcoming screenings here.

Summary:
In Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies’ family comedy “Imagine That,” Eddie Murphy stars as a successful financial executive named Evan who has more time for his blackberry than his seven-year-old daughter, Olivia (Yara Shahidi). When Evan is faced with a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, he is forced to finally stop and really listen to his daughter whose imaginary world may have the solution to all his problems. In discovering Olivia’s inner world, Evan discovers what he has truly been missing.

I’m looking for some new worship music to take with me on our Navajo Mission trip coming up in about a month. I want to know what your favorite worship song is that the normal person has never heard of. To help spurn on the conversation I’ll give a $10 gift card for iTunes if you are the first person to have the same favorite worship song as me.

Contest will run for 24 hours and answers must be put in comments.
