TOKBOX with Jason Curlee and others

I just got off Tokbox video chat and it was a great conversation with leaders around the US and had a candid conversation about ministry and life.

I was an reluctant twitterer, but now I have to say that it is a great tool for ministry. I would have not known about this unless I got DJChuangs tweet. Also tokbox is a great tool. I’ve used it before and think I’m going to use it more often now.

Thanks Jason Curlee for setting this up. It was great meeting all of you.

 

Idea Camp

This blog has been my way of expressing my ideas and sharing things and people that inspire me. Charles Lee is definitely one person that has been a person that I look up to. When I was first starting Art United, he sat down with me at a Starbucks in Brea and listened to my ideas and gave me great advice. He also partnered with Justice N.O.W and shared a great message on the issue of Human Trafficking. He also a founding member of Just One, a great organization that really makes a positive difference in this world.

Charles Lee has done it again. This time he put together FREE hybrid conference for idea-makes to share, network, and implement ideas called THE IDEA CAMP.

Playing with Animoto with VJ Nase

I showed Justin how quickly you can make a photo montage using animoto. We made this in 6 minutes and 39 second.

Check it out!

 

ANIMOTO

I recently saw this website that automates the slideshow making process. It is so simple and so great.

Check it out. It took my facebook pictures and allowed me to pick a song and voila it made this.

Here are some practical things this will be good for.

1. Report night slide shows
2. Wedding Montages
3. Baby’s first birthday montage
4. Music Videos

Definitely take advantage of it. Short 30 second versions are free. Click here to check it out.
