January 2009 ws the Boulder Podcamp. It was awesome. I wish there were another next month.

Good on you, Chris.

Really interesting!

You are unique (as we all are) - and it's good that you know yourself - more than many do. That's a great step in the right direction.

Micah, thanks for your honesty. It's so refreshing in a world full of facades.

Part of what you struggle with is basic introversion. You might consider doing the Meyers-Briggs test. (It's pretty easy & there are some free on-line ways to do it, I think.) That will reveal some stuff you may never have thought of.

One characteristic of introverts is that they are drained by parties. You are not alone! I feel this way too, as do many many others.

Try Africa or Papua New Guinea on for size.

I put the word out on twitter & facebook.

It's obvious you know how to leverage bit.ly. Cool!

You're the best, Chris!!

Humility is greatly under-rated by many - but you GET it.

Understood, Chris.

I had some strange problem getting a booking on-line. I finally talked to a human & got in that way.

I hope your problem is solved very soon.

At least Apple has good software interface - I assume that is why you might want to stick with them, if this experience hasn't killed them for you.

Great story! One aspect of the equation not covered is how connecting with people just makes you feel better about yourself too.

LOVE it.

Sad to see spammers hit our beloved Twitter.

David, I have thought along these lines for a long time. I just wish this message could somehow permeate the fabric of the modern American church's thinking.

His ego is so big that it spills out of the edges of the video.

Reminds me of the Mini ad that came out when the new Mini was new - it showed a guy in a giant pickup next to a guy in a Mini - and said something like, "Your procreative performance is the inverse of the size of your vehicle." (Of course the ad was worded better than that!)

So - the prominent positioning of the Pepsi can... how big was the ad revenue?

So old-tech. What a pleasant contrast to most of life today!

You're moving forward, Micah - and that's what counts.

Inspirational for us all.

I agree with Jim - this was a great presentation at Wordcamp. I wish more of the humor there showed in this post! (Micah, you're hilarious. And you have the ability to mix that with some really solid content. That's a rare mix.)

Re: We Dont Need to be Noisy to Create Noise

paulmerrill — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:34:57 -0000

Great post, Micah... a good reminder that we can't promote ourselves very well by dragging others down. It's far more attractive to be positive and encourage others. That reaps benefits beyond just the simple promotion.

I agree with Jen Frazer - basic respect for women does not necessarily have anything to do with your religion. (Though it can and often does.)

GoDaddy stepped in the pudding this time.

Hey DJ. Glad for what you're doing for the church.

My one plea is to push you in the direction of helping out the church beyond the borders of the USA... helping our inward-focused church become less so... maybe we can do more about the spiritual needs of those who have no access to even hearing about Jesus.

Re: How Much is a Twitter Follower Worth?

paulmerrill — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:42:50 -0000

I'm just a baby at twittering, but I would love to get that $223 my followers are worth.

If I "cash them in" do I then have to delete them? Kill them?

Al I know is that you are a voice of honesty to who you are. That came out very clearly at the Thin Air SUmmit. (I enjoyed meeting you there, even though it was briefly.)

Another hugely destructive thing about the bottled water paradigm is the waste of energy to transport it to your door or the supermarket and in manufacturing.
