Our community has been trying to address bullying in a proactive sort of way… at the very least we are trying raise awareness of it and tackle it in the places that awareness shines a light on.
Below is an infographic about bullying online:

I’m a little late with this… we’re already over a month into 2012. But I’ve recently been learning how better to use Twitter and leverage it to connect and resource and collaborate with other people.
This video describes the impact Twitter has in not only reporting the news, but connecting people together over some really important matters.

Dencity provides a color-coded representation of what 7 Billion people on planet earth looks like.
As you can see, the United States is sparse when it comes to population density. Just look at China, India, and Pakistan as well as Indonesia, central Mexico (near its capitol), and central Europe.
I live in a rural town in northwestern Wisconsin with a population of a little over 2,000 people in the city limits. Seeing a map like this helps give me perspective on what 7,000,000,000 people looks like.
Mark Wilson (my lead pastor) over at Revitalize Your Church wrote a post called “One in Seven Billion” where he referenced a handy tool from BBC where one can find out where they fit in that enormous number.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately, as I’m sure the rest of the inhabitants of the USA are in these uncertain economic times. We don’t know what to do about the declining economy because what has always seemed to work in the past are not working like they used to (or should in some people’s minds).
I’m not ready to make a value judgment either way yet, but in the meantime it’s good to gather data and gain perspective on what is going on “economically” around the world.
Thus the embedded graphic above.
In many countries, a significant percentage of the population survives on just a few dollars a day. Here’s a look at the distribution of consumption in several developing nations.
Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

YouTube video description:
Technology codes our minds, changes our OS. Apple products have done this extensively. The video shows how magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for digital natives. It shows real life clip of a 1-year old, growing among touch screens and print. And how the latter becomes irrelevant. Medium is message. Humble tribute to Steve Jobs, by the most important person : a baby.
