I love Technology

But not as much as you, you see. I still love technology.

This is one of those things that I see then I say to myself. Wish I would have came up with that first. Anywho, I love it and I'm glad someone did. Next thing you know there will be a Daft Punk iPods video in response to the Daft Punk Hands.

Coffee and Cereal

Welp, It finally happened. I made my point and made some Coffee and Cereal. Check out what happened here and go to my youtube page and rate it as well! Comments on the video rock also!

Planning Center Online

I will make this short and sweet. If you are working in a church and needing some software to help coordinate people, schedules and songs www.planningcenteronline.com is the best thing I have used yet. The best part is the customer service I have recieved. Through twitter the creator of it replies instantly to any problem I'm having or any questions I have and even gave me their gtalk name. Its easy and I'm also getting a huge positive from the folks I have using it. I work with students and coordinating them so any extra level of accountability I can have with them is great. The "Accept" button for the event is the bomb so I know who to check up on and why they aren't replying. Anywho, It rocks and if you are searching use them.

Textmarks.com

This site is brilliant. You choose your keyword such as 3amjosh. If its available you then control it. Someone can send a text that says 3amjosh to 41411 and it will send them back a text with whatever message I choose. Advertising and getting alerts out is quite easy and quick with this. They have some other unique tools that you can use to send out group messages to your subscribers and you can update your response from your cellphone if something were to change. Pretty brilliant especially paired with a nice shirt from Reactee.com

Reactee and Me

So today in a creative meeting Josh Bradley( http://joshbradleysblog.blogspot.com/ ) was telling me about some stuff they saw at a conference at willowcreek. One thing that struck my attention was Reactee.com

Seeing as text message communications and alert type deals are the thing for right now they have nailed it with their custom tees. You simply choose a slogan which mine is "Can't Sleep? Neither Can I" then it says "Text 3amjosh to 41411". All on a handy t-shirt that is american apparel of course. When the person does that they recieve a custom response made by me that says a blip about what my site 3amjosh.com is about and tells them to check it out.

Some people use this as a political or "going green" statement while others are trying to get a date. You get feedback on how many people request your info and all that. Also you can constantly update the reply text your tee sends out.

I think I am going to wear my t-shirt EVERYWHERE i go and see how much my site views and video views go up. Also if you want to help me out or just think my t-shirt is awesome you can buy one and wear it @ http://reactee.com/shirt/order/?rtprdk=7599. Although I'd prefer you to enter through the first link I gave you and then find my shirt but either way.

Text me- 3amjosh to 41411 and help me get featured as their most requested tee off the month. The current winner has 1,300 some odd texts.

Also make your own shirt for whatever you want. Instant communication is amazing and advertising is seeing a new means of getting information to people how they want it.

ALSO there will be a coffee and cereal video coming up this week with my celebrity guest I promised everyone. So be patient and it will be here before you can say "Ni"

Coffee and Cereal

You heard it here first folks! I have invented something that people might say things at first like, "what is he thinking" but will soon change to, "why didn't I come up with that". Anywho not sure if I can market it since its only something I'm combining that has been waiting ever since coffee and milk were established. Well, I figured it would be worth the shot because of a couple of things.

Cereal sweetens my milk. When I have my bowl of cereal no matter if its special K or fruity pebbles I know that in the end I'm going to enjoy the last sip of milk with its super sweet taste.

Caffeine in my cereal! Thats two birds with one stone. Who doesn't want to have their caffeine in an edible form?

So mark your calendars for this weeks 3amjosh where I will be experimenting with different cereals and coffee and who knows, you might see a coffee and cereal shop or it will be the new trend at Starbucks. If its stolen I'm going to sue Howard. I know you read my blog.

Anywho, if you have any ideas at what cereals might work best let me know by a simple comment and I just might try it on my next video blog.

Kitten Cam

Here are our kittens on their Live 24 hours a day 7 days a week camera feed. Lillian(mama cat) is sick so can no longer nurse so now my wife and I have to nurse her. I just heat up the rise bag and make sure the milk is up to temperation while she does the hard work. Anywho we will feed them and all that jazz on here as well. Watch Them Grow!
