How to Download
The easiest way to download the YouVersion Bible app for Java is to visit http://youversion.com/download from your Java-enabled mobile phone. From there you’ll be taken to the Java application store where you’ll be able to download the right version for your phone.
Now you don't need a "smart phone" to have the YouVersion Bible app! You could always access the mobile website with any phone that has a mobile web data plan, but now you can have a native app that is installed right on your phone! Read the full post (click on link above) and try the download.
According to Wikipedia, Web 2.0:
refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.I think that a similar paradigm shift has occurred in our understanding of leadership. Our interaction with the Web and the expectations it creates have shaped what we expect from our leaders.
Therefore, if leaders are going to be effective with the current generation of Internet-savvy web-users, they must shift their leadership style. I call this Leadership 2.0. Here’s how it compares to Leadership 1.0:
I love how technology has started to bring a bit a revolution to the paradigm of leadership. In this guest post on the Catalyst blog, Michael Hyatt discusses some of the main points which include:
* Embracing change
* Demonstrating transparency
* Celebrating dialogue
* Encouraging collaboration
* Practices sharing
* Welcomes engagement
* Builds community
Read the article and think about the organizations or leaders today that you admire and want to follow. Do they exhibit Leadership 1.0 or 2.0 characteristics? Which would you prefer to be?

I am really liking the Google Chrome browser. It is fast, light-weight and maximizes your viewing area nicely. Like Mozilla Firefox, it is also customizable (at least with the beta version for the pc). There is a growing list of extensions available and I'll probably do another post about which ones I like and use the most, but I wanted to highlight one of them today, thanks to a post by John Antonios - Autopen.

Better Security through SoftwareOne of the best defenses against security threats is a good offense, and we want to help you take the offensive by having the latest security software installed on your computer. Today, we are announcing a year-long partnership with McAfee to offer all 350 million people who use Facebook the ability to download a six-month subscription to McAfee security software at no cost, along with a special discount once the six months are over.
I was both surprised and glad to see today that Facebook is teaming up with McAfee to help you protect your pc from malicious attacks to steal your identity or ruin your computer.
If you don't have an anti-virus, anti-malware product, I STRONGLY encourage you to take advantage of this partnership today. 6 months for free - who can argue with that?? NO EXCUSES!

Couldn't help but laugh at this one today. It also made me think about how we so often overlook or don't even notice the everyday things (branches) in our lives and when someone does, it seems funny or even weird. Yet, the truth is those ordinary, everyday things in life are also some of the most remarkable.
Ever stop to thing about the beating of your heart or the breathing that you are doing right now? If you are like me, you probably don't give things like that much consideration, unless you have an illness or pain which causes you to think about it. Yet, if they stopped, we would be history within seconds.
What about the not so life threatening but still everyday things like your friends or family? What about your home or job or car or clothes? Chances are we get bored with the ordinary and the familiar rather quickly and soon we start craving something new. I guess it is just human nature.
Maybe that is why I like technology so much - it is always changing, always creating something new to learn or understand.
I read this passage today in Job 37:24 which says, "So bow to him in deep reverence, one and all!
If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship him." I believe taking notice of the countless everyday things in life that God blesses us with is a small way we can worship and give reverence to Him.
Noticed any "branches" today?
