Baptist Assembly 2006

I’m off to the Baptist Assembly this weekend in Brighton. I’m staying quite near the Brighton Centre. If your there and want to meet up then e.mail me so we can arrange something. I have just changed my mobile number so don’t rely on an old one, drop me a line and I’ll let you know the new one.

Videoblogging on a LG U8380

I thought I would try videoblogging so I tied my new mobile to the steering wheel of the car (with one of those annoying red elastic bands that the posties can’t be botherered to pick up).

The phone is an LG U8380, it is a great phone. I got it from themobileoutlet.com. They do a 12 month contract on three and they refund the entire phone rental (you have to send your bills in to claim it).

What Not to Wear.

I just had a phone call from a researcher from the BBC program “What not to wear”. They had me worried for a moment, I thought I had been nominated! They wanted me to advertise the fact that they are looking for participants in the program.

They sent me this and asked me to distribute it.

Easter Break

Easter Break

We made our annual pilgrimage to the east coast for the week running up to easter. Spring Harvest is a conference that takes over the Butlins Holiday camp in Skegness (and Minehead). We like it, the kids love it. You can be at meetings from dawn to dusk, but we like to chill out a bit and not do everything.

I always try and organise my holidays so that I go away on a Monday so that I am not faced with leading services when I return. Easter is always different, the good thing about returning to conduct Resurrection Sunday service is that I have some familiarity with the theme! The services were packed with action today. It was good to see so many people enjoying themselves.

I feel refreshed and ready to get back into the week ahead.

Talking about technology

I just got back from talking to a year six class at Skerton St. Lukes about how I use Information Technology in my work. I was there at David’s invitation.
Once we got over the fact that I don’t sit looking glum from one Sunday to the next, but that I can be quite busy, the conversation was great.
I particularly enjoyed playing Alice singing “When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears” and talking about why we played a clip from the Incredibles in a church service.
The other topics we touched on were:

• Using Mobile Phones.
• Using E.mail, VOIP and Instant Messaging.
• Blogging
• The point of RSS feeds.

I enjoyed my visit, I hope they enjoyed having me.
