[Kid Inspiration]

I am sitting in the Mall at the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando Florida usin’ some free Wi-Fi too write this post. I haven’t blogged but have been twitterin’. Check out Twitter.com/kidinspiration

I love holidays and this is proving to be one of the best ever. Great people, fun times and my mind focussed not on work but on my family and fun.

This is the biggest holiday we have ever had in ten years of marriage and working so we are making the most of it.

So my prescription for a holiday is go far far away. I think it helps the mind to be in another time zone and hemisphere of the globe.

Anyway work hard and rest well, right now I am resting well… As much as you can rest in Disney World

The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade… True story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the First pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, ”…And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, ‘Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?’” The teacher paused then asked the class, “And what do you think that man said?” One little boy raised his hand and said, “I think he said… ‘Holy Crap, a talking pig!’” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

Here’s what I twittered today.

• The Church used to be great with technology. We nailed it with the printing press. Why are we so slow to see the potential of technology? Link
• twttr still seems lk the latest thing in the Church but old news 2 the world? Link
• So 746 Tweets about #hillsong this week. Not bad. 1,097 about #swineflu and 22,309 about @iranelection Link

(In reverse order just like twitter presents them)

This is what I ultimately find most inspiring about the Twitter phenomenon. We are living through the worst economic crisis in generations, with apocalyptic headlines threatening the end of capitalism as we know it, and yet in the middle of this chaos, the engineers at Twitter headquarters are scrambling to keep the servers up, application developers are releasing their latest builds, and ordinary users are figuring out all the ingenious ways to put these tools to use. There’s a kind of resilience here that is worth savoring. The weather reports keep announcing that the sky is falling, but here we are — millions of us — sitting around trying to invent new ways to talk to one another.

If your question is: So do you think twitter/facebook/whatever is a useful tool? You are asking the wrong question and have completely missed the point.

It’s not about the specific tool, whether it’s Facebook/Twitter it’s about the technology and the way it changes society and the way we interact/get news/connect/etc. etc.
