Action Method by Behance

http://www.actionmethod.com/

Action Method is a brilliant suite of products to help you get organized on whatever projects you’re working on. Developed by the people at Behance, a platform for creative professionals, this digital organizer has the visual learners in mind. For those who would rather organize themselves on paper, they also offer a suite of products to be shipped to you. I’m a huge fan of this product and would recommend it to anyone.

Why Flat Organizations Don’t Create Great Leaders

For some time now, the predominant workplace trend has been to go flat and democratic – everyone working together in a large open space with direct access to supervisors and even the company president. Merit is based on your skills, creative output, and ability to work with the team. Leadership is about having confidence and speaking up.

Blogs Worth Following

Jonathan Malm

I recently started following Jonathan’s blogs and tweets – and I must say – I love his insight! His focus is the creative process and its application to our work – especially in the ministry world. You may also know him from the popular church website, Church Stage Design Ideas.

Check him out here.

Finally, this video may change your life, or least brighten your Friday. Enjoy.

Hey everyone! Long time no post… Sorry about that. I should be back to my regular schedule next week.

Social Media & the US Presidential Election

Interesting video I found on the web regarding social media’s involvement in this year’s USA Presidential Election.

Stickygram – Update

I’ve attached a photo here of my magnets that came in the mail yesterday! If you don’t know what Stickygrams are, look at last week’s Grab Bag Friday. In short, this company takes your Instagram photos and creates magnets out of them!

The magnets are a little smaller than I was expecting – about 1.25″ squared. Still, the printing was of high quality, and most importantly, they stick to my fridge. Definitely would recommend this service to you!

It’s Friday! Time for a data dump of random things from around the web to inspire your communications through the next week.

Could it be God is calling us to pray for the least churched city, in the least churched county, in the least churched state in America? Could it be the God of the miraculous is on the move, here in Portland? Could it be that Jesus lives in Portland? Churches from around the Portland area will be gathering, together as one family, to pray and fast for an awakening.

Brilliant stuff. Beautiful video too.

FINALLY.  A good web interface for your Instagram account. You can “Like” photos in your feed, manage your pics, comment, and follow people.

Instagram continues to grow in the iPhone community and provides for new opportunities to connect with your followers in a meaningful way. At Remnant (http://remnantfamily.com), the youth ministry I work in, we’ve actually created an Instagram feed on the front page of our website. If you do the same, you can show your audience what things are like in the office, out in the field, or even personal things like a trip to the park with you kids. Either way, Instagram allows you to be even more relatable to the followers with whom you’re trying to communicate. Relatable = Trust In You and Your Brand

Now that you have a great way to view your Instagram posts on your computer through Ink 361, the next logical move would be to have them all made as magnets, right!?

… Just me?

Okay.

Sticky Gram will give you 9 unique magnets for $14.99, and right now they have free shipping. It’s pretty cool, especially if you’re halfway decent with an iPhone camera and haven’t gone haywire with the Tilt Shift feature. I’ve already ordered my first sheet. I’ll post how they turn out when they arrive.
