So sorry for not posting in a couple of weeks. Life has been busy. I should be able to get some new posts up in the coming weeks. I have also obtained the domain gradientthought.com, which is not live yet (so don't bother opening the url). This is a better address in the long run and will afford me the possibility of gretaer expansion to the website down the road. Stay tuned...

I came across this article in Wired Magazine today. It reveals just how precious a thing "freedom of speech" is. See for yourself...

I believe that I have gotten it all wrong as a leader. Somewhere along the line I bought into the lie that convinced me it was my responsibility to originate, initiate, demonstrate, administrate, facilitate, moderate, aggregate, affiliate, congregate, concatenate, conglomerate, integrate, populate, proliferate, propagate, abdicate, quantitate, agitate, infiltrate, dictate, dominate, subjugate,

Anyone who has been trying to come up with something to do with friends or spouses has entered the "I don't know, what do you want do?" black hole of indecision. Well, it may not be too long before we can disengage from that psychosis with the following declaration of freedom: "want to orbit the earth"?

I found this article by Brian McLaren today entitled Bless This House? I found it to be very insightful as many are seeking to "improve church" to make it more relevant, impacting and meaningful. You can read the article in its entirety here.

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for new background images to use in presentations and stuff. Sometimes I end up not finding much and get inspired to create my own. So I thought I would pass them on to you...and of course, they are free. I put some recent ones online today, but I will be digging some older ones out of my archives and posting them in the near future. The images will

I came across this site while browsing digg.com. The site tracks its user's preferences in music. If you enter a band you like, the site returns the top 100 artists that other users who like your band also listen to. Not every match will fit your taste, but you have a good chance of coming across an artist you may not have known about. Check it out: www.last.fmUPDATE: 11.04.05I just got the

I am sitting at home. It is November 1st, 2005 and the chill of fall in Northern California has begun to settle in. I am trying to figure out what would be a really exciting reason (not to mention a good one) for starting 'Gradient Thought' (which, by the way will from now on be referred to by the initials 'gT'...just so you know). It isn't my first attemp at a blog. Previous attempts have come
