texas

let’s you have a conversation with friends (or random ppl) about anything you want - all in a simple page you can subscribe to.

i.e. this page should discuss Texas and how it is the best place on Earth :)

Do Good

what if there was a website for doing micro good - small acts of good right from your computer. as long as you are participating in the website you are contributing…not sure what could be done… notes of encouragement, technical help.

maybe instead of micro good, it is a database of connecting skilled workers with needs in their community and around the world? (this is a non-profit idea of a friend of mine).

i just want to make doing good a practical thing…

Roady Trip

i enjoyed myself

GiveAnAnimal

Well, the heifer and the duck do - so there are two options right now. The others will follow in the next week. Thanks lil’ bro.

trouble with twitter

Cherron - I’ll follow you. You can also follow @OurConvo http://twitter.com/ourconvo

Best Hamburger in Dallas

looks like i will have to try out Willy’s then. it’s not as hard to get a good burger as it is to get one that is worth the cost.

Roady Trip

most of the way we are going to camp, but in KC we are already staying with a friend’s family. thanks though! i love BBQ, so we will check that out.

not a coffee drinker and could do without Sbux forever (terrible, right?).

what low down do you have on Chicago? We have the tower & Gino’s pizza on the list.

this trip is just for kicks and giggles. about 5 hrs of driving each day (more on the front, less on the back-end).

Michigan Prof. Email to Muslim Students

biggest problem is it seems like an over generalization of people. then, it’s also problematic that the prof, in an authoritative position, represents the university - not just self.

i am not one for politically correctness for that sake only, but everyone should be careful who they are attacking. i think the protest and the letter are a bit too broad for my likings.

Swine Flu

in case you missed his remarks, you should see them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1h2t355Bo

absolutely ludicrous for a leader to be saying that.

Swine Flu

Let’s talk personal responsibility versus preparedness organizations should have…

Personally, I think it is all dramatized. I am not going to avoid going around people, etc.

However, if I was the superintendent of a school or president of a university, I would much rather do too much. For instance, my alma mater has more supplies than would fathom from preparation for the Bird Flu. They also set a standard that all classes should have at least one online class per term in order to get everyone comfortable with online teaching in case of any sort of tragedy. I think the campus could close and class remain as scheduled.

If things are contained all this if over near instantly. If we act dumb and take no precaution there is a possibility (arguably quite small) that we could experience a 1918 type pandemic.

For All Mankind

1989 movie? with JFK? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otvtMfEI_9w

Police kill bear who happened to be in the same forest as a pregnant woman...what do you think?

If you enter their habitat you should play by appropiate rules of defense.

Stay out of the woods pregnant woman!

Photography Blog

i have not seen such a specific service. i am familiar with a lot of the blogging products and add-ons, and i am not impressed by any of them. i do like this for a slideshow: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/autoviewer/

Cody+Mac

i think i am going to wait….maybe… my laptop right now is great, fast and all - just would like the newness of a mac

The Other 6 Days

interesting…never really thought about making a conscience effort to serve any of my bosses.

Patriots Cycling

we both had community events we had to go to. maybe we will eventually get a ride in!

Patriots Cycling

Jon Wilson may do a shorter ride tomorrow morning - leaving from my apartment (Austin Ranch in The Colony)

Hannah Montana rocks!

I purchased The Clinb from iTunes..have I lost all my marbles?

Cody+Mac

You work there!

What's your favorite coffee shop?

Cafe Brazil is a great chain in Dallas - best on is off 75 or the one in Deep Ellum. Open 24 hrs.

Another neat on is Mug & Mouse (one near the old Cowboy stadium). It is in the Asian part of town, but open real late, and full of culture.

Patriots Cycling

well, thanks for inviting the rest of the group!

Has anyone seen Seven Pounds?

i heard it got terrible reviews.

School textbooks

http://chegg.com is very interesting. back in my day, they did not have that site! ha

Rangers

160 more games to a perfect season…

Boy In the Striped Pajamas

as the credits roll after completing this movie i am in awe. WWII was horrid anyway, but this certainly makes it hit home at the innocence of those killed. i am not sure it was a great movie, but i think any story about the Holocaust is heart-wrenching.

Skydiving video

i have skydived with both you guys!

life lessons

i have seen a lot of tragedy and very convicted that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. you better live today like it is the last day of your life - do things that really matter. people and relationship really matter. be a giver.

Quotes

“You will find, as you look back on your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others.” - Henry Drummond

Fly Fishing Lower Moutain Fork Beaver's Bend

i am going to Beaver’s Bend April 24, but no fly fishing. I will talk to people I see and let you know what i find out

Patriots Cycling

i have to be back at my apt at 12:30, so if get started on time i should be good to go

iPhone

i doubt you last that long

PostSecret

this is really interesting…which one is yours Rachael?! ha. I like the one about tipping making one racist. We even had African-American servers at Pappadeux that talked about this being a near fact.

School textbooks

http://half.com was where i always purchased and sold the textbooks. much better than the book stores (by 1500%)!

Paris move!

obvious one is go to the Eiffel tower. i would do the whole french bakery scene and the Louvre Museum.

Best Hamburger in Dallas

MooYah is my favorite hands down. so great!

Denominations

chad - i don’t think you answered his question. :)

Where the Wild Things Are

interesting - had not seen/heard of it, but i would be down to watch it. digged the soundtrack

slumdog

if you can afford $9 for a matinee, it is still at Grapevine Mills, but for the North Dallas snobs you also still see it at the Angelika (cheaper). it is a good one to see in the theaters too - lots of details and well depicted.

In and Out Burger

had my first in & out experience about a month go in San Francisco. greatness. really liked the shakes. have no idea about there expansion plans.

How do I start my own art-based company?

You can operate your business as a sole proprietorship if you don’t have a lot of personal assets - this attaches the liability of someone suing to your SS# (if you were making a lot of money you should form a LLC - Limited Liability Company).

Buy a .com - GoDaddy is near the cheapest, but certainly has the best customer service. You then can install Wordpress (a blog format), but has tons of easy themes and plugins that can make it look nothing like a blog.

Then you should open a Google Checkout sellers account. No monthly fees and super easy to have a shopping cart. You pay near industry low of 3% for credit card processing.

While, I cannot do it for ya, I can answer your questions when you get stuck and searching Google does not prevail.

Healthcare Right of Conscience

I think an example of this would be doctors who are Pro Life would be required to perform abortions? As long as we are able to choose our doctors (which I hope forever), then this regulation doesn’t make sense. There are other places a person could go.

Sweet Tea

Rudy’s BBQ (best tasting and love the food to accompany it) & McAllister’s (32oz of goodness)

Denominations

do you want one big church on the side of the street? effective churches with good church discipline (and such) are typically smaller. you live in the Bible Belt and there are going to be a lot of churches.

i am not so sure that i feel divided because of denominations. i know which i believe are Christian and believe they have the same RELATIONSHIP that I do - rather than a religion or denomination.

Photo Tips

Let me give you a couple of websites:

Remove Backgrounds From Photos For Free With Fotoflexer (http://fotoflexer.com/)

PhotoPerfect Express is a free, powerful image optimization tool that covers a wide range of photo enhancement scenarios, and can provide casual photographers with great results. (http://www.arcadiasoftware.com/photoperfect-express.html)

Avoid Mediocre Portraits with These Tricks (http://digital-photography-school.com/10-ways-to-take-stunning-portraits)

And John, yes I think there is an alternative, I am just not sure what it is…

Favorite Charities

I am a big supporter of the YMCA & Red Cross.

YMCA - Christian mission with a practical purpose. They don’t turn anyone away for financial need. They are truly about building strong kids, families and communities. See http://ourconvo.com/ymca

Red Cross - they are the people side of disaster. You probably won’t think to support them until they show up whenever your house burned down or was flooded, but without them you may be left with nothing or no one.

Project 25:40

i love that you two are involved in this convo together - two of the most passionate charity organizers I know.

annoyance - i think you have to be smart with your marketing. give people the option to opt in and opt out of receiving info. people are not shy to let you know what you think, but you will always feel guilty - especially if they are mainly your friends and family.

abortion

which quote? i tried to start the “discussion” without stating my side on it.

slumdog

This is a movie everyone should see to increase their knowledge of the world. Great action packed drama.

iPhone

i like reqall pretty well too, except with today’s update it kept crashing. the UI is a bit slow too (even on WiFi). there are now pro accounts that you have to pay in order to integrate with your calendar?

wewerenaked.com

chad, we all want to know when the next shirt will be released?

kayakingwithjake

dallascowboys

millions of dollars later - loosing such money makes me cringe.

Skydiving

Bodily Contained USB
