Who Knew Twitter Was Useful?
I just read an article from G4TV's blog and it contains a new interesting use for Google Maps and Twitter.
Outbreak 2.0: Tracking Swine Flu Through Google Maps And Twitter
Can't get enough swine-flu excitement? Who can?!? Thankfully the Internet has evolved to the point where everyone can track their favorite diseases and outbreaks like never before. First up is a Google Map that pinpoints every reported case of swine flu around the world. From Mexico to America to Spain to New Zealand, you can follow swine flu victims across the globe.
Speaking of follow, your day isn't complete unless you've received Twitter updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Busting out emergency updates one tweet at a time, CDC's Twitter page gives you up-to-the-second information on the latest swine flu conference calls, respirator suggestions, and recommended antiviral drugs.
Now if I may be serious for a moment (channeling Lance Storm), it's pretty amazing that the Internet has evolved to the point where millions of people can easily get updates on a disease outbreak. While some will check out the information simply because it's there (Wikipedia syndrome?), others will use it to keep their family and friends safer. It's truly amazing.

Steve Harvey: Stick To What You Know
I was shocked to find out that Steve Harvey has written a book about male/female relationships. After picking my Jaw off the floor, I realized that I have no reason at all to take his advice. I happen to have the book as a PDF. Take a look at the book
Harvey's book is called "Act Like A Lady; Think Likeex A Man". I think fundamentally this is bad advice. He is right when he says that women can't expect men to act and think like women. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to mention from what I read that men can't expect women to think like us either. The fundamental problem is that Harvey's advice conflicts with the Bible. I think he's right many men are driven by:
The question I have is this: Is this the right motivation we should have?
According to our creator...no. Our motivations should be centered to follow Jesus.
I also wanted to point out that although Harvey has gone on record saying that he has not turned his life over to Christ. He at least has that much sense. I would argue that he has a "head" knowledge of who Jesus is because no way he could say what he does in the following video unless he knew something about Jesus.

I think he's right many men are driven by:
his title (who he is), how he gets that title (what he does), and the reward he gets for the effort (how much he makes)

According to our creator...no. Our motivations should be centered to follow Jesus.
