Monday Mentions

  • I know I said it before, but I highly recommend Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  My relationship with this book has a story on its own.  I plan to tell it soon.

 

  • And now that I’ve mentioned Francis Chan,  he’ll be speaking at Verge Conference in Austin, Texas in February .  And oh, did you know that’s where Friday Night Lights is filmed?  I feel a road trip brewing.

 

  • Allison Iraheta debuted her single today.  I think it’s so perfect for her.  Unfortunately I don’t like Kris Allen’s enough to buy it :(  It’s just too much of the same thing.  Sorry, Kris!

 

  • I watched the only existing video of Anne Frank several times.  I just love seeing the old film footage knowing that was actual life, not a movie.  I would love to see more of that.

 

  • I loved this post and the idea of a family tree.

 

  • I fully intend to try this crockpot lasagna, this hummus recipe and this granola bar recipe.

 

  • I really love this idea of making your master bedroom more like a B&B.

 

  • I’ve been using some new software.  First, Jing is great for screencaps. Audio Hijack has been awesome for recording Skype conversations on my Mac among other input sources, Switch has been a great audio file converter (they have some other great software too).  I also hear Audacity is great for both Mac and Windows as an alternate but I haven’t tried it yet.

     

  • I’m very much enjoying the Scrabble app on my iPhone to pass time instead of Twitter.

     

  • And lastly, lets end with some Dilbert gold.  I cracked up laughing when reading it at my ILs yesterday, Heather called me yesterday just to see if I’d seen it and now I’m seeing Mashable has highlighted it.

    Amy, I just started reading Francis Chan’s book! I’m only into the fourth chapter. I am looking forward to finishing it! 🙂

    Becky, the first 3 chapters are a bit slow but the good stuff happens in chapter 4 and beyond. Make sure to watch the videos on the book’s site too.

    Ohhh, I really like Allison’s song! When does it actually come out? Any idea? Or, is it just not for sale on iTunes?

    Thanks for playing along, Amy! I loved that Anne Frank video. What amazing footage! I am not sure that I like Kris’ song either. That’s too bad because I really thought I would enjoy anything he put out. I think Allison’s song will be really popular.

    I love the Dilbert!! I will have to watch Anne Frank in a little bit; right now, I am totally putting off my run and your blog has become my enabler.
