Are you an "open source" person?

Open Source Your Brain!

Some maybe fimiluar with the concept of "Open Source Software" (think firefox) and even fewer of you still may understand "Open Source Leadership." Well the world is changing. FAST. No matter what you do in life, to truely understand how the world is working and will work over the next several decades, you need to learn what "Open Source" means. So I have compiled a few weblinks that I think could be very useful to people wishing to learn and grow along side the world around them. They are:

Wikipedia
Free Beer For Geeks
Bytes From Lev
Local Open Source/Space Meeting

Now that you have some knowledge about being an "Open Source" leader and what that might look like, do something with it!

Million Dollar Website Idea #1

www.your-YP-is-toast.com

This would be an internet gambeling site that would take wagers on how long your new Youth Pastor was going to last at your church. You could enter all their biographical information, how they got selected to come to your church and how the last youth pastor left the church. Based on this information folks could enter a betting pool by picking the date they would either leave, get fired or "resign". Think "40 Days and 40 nights" with Josh Heartnet.

Disclaimer: This idea has nothing what so ever to do with my own personal life or the countless friends I have watched get screwed by the church (yeah right! I'm picking 9 months and 22 days for the new guy)

**** After hearing the idea, Renee wanted to add one more dimention to the site. Upon the YP being bet upons dismissel, they would recieve half the pot. The "church" isn't going to take care of them so somebody should.

I'm an every two month blogger?

MySpace has been running my life recently. Our HIO MySpace group now has over 3900 people in it. ELI is growing by leaps and bounds. We could hire three more fulltime people and still not get all the bases covered. The organization will be featured in the June 19th edition of the IBJ. And our promotional deal with RadioNow93.1 starts this Friday. There are a thousand other things that have kept me from this blog (fundraising, Renee grad, Jamie in Japan, ect.), but I promise to do a better job of posting over this summer.

Bumper sticker of the week: Seen while driving home on I-70. Car was a Honda, with a middle-aged white male driver. Plates where from Missouri.
