Two of my fellow St. Simons Community Church (SSCC) staff members just joined the blog/website world this week. Joining Fred McKinnon, Shannon Lewis, and me are David Yarborough and Travis Paulding.

David Yarborough

David is our pastor at SSCC. He is the guy that God has given the responsibility to lead our group of believers in knowing Him more. What a task. I’d say he is doing a fine job and in the nine months I’ve been on staff he’s only gotten better at it.

Not only does he have a new website, but he also writes a weekly article for the Brunswick News called “What’s the Word?”. Catch it on SSCC’s website where you can also grab the sermon podcast, most of the time featuring him.

Travis Paulding

Travis is my boss or supervisor or something. He’s a great video artist and does some pretty pimp things with After Effects and Final Cut Studio. He’s also about 3 months away from being a first-time dad. Woohoo!

He’s fun to work with and probably the best boss I’ve had. (Does that increase my chances of a large raise? Just checking.) Anyway, go to his new blog.

And to those aforementioned bloggers, who are now on my blogroll…. why am I not on some of yours? Ahem!

Ha. Fourth post this week. This one is to announce the brand-spankin-new website for Alex Watson.

This is the third design I’ve done for this site - one for each of his CD’s. The current CD that the site is backing is called Flight EP. In my opinion, it’s his best yet. He had several other local musicians perform on it including TJ Thompson, McKendree Tucker, and Marcus Brand.

You owe yourself a listen (and hopefully a purchase). You can listen on his website or in iTunes. Your choice.

Hey guys. Quick announcement and “hint-hint, elbow-elbow” that GetSkinsNow.com launched this weekend. It was a collaborative work between myself (layout graphics & coding) and HPP Enterprises (content). They have some really neat cases over there for iPods, Zunes, other mp3 players, cell phones, satellite radios and MacBooks.

So my hint-hint is for you to head over there and browse the site. If you’re looking for really good electronics cases, check this place out. They are good quality and WAY below MSRP.

If you know me you know I love worship concerts. Last year, Worship Under the Stars brought the world of big worship concerts to the Golden Isles of Georgia. It was a huge success and brought over 3000 people from different backgrounds, denominations, and demographics together to sing to and worship our King. All this in leiu of Hurricane Ophelia which caused us to change venues and almost cancelled the event!

This year, projections forsee the attendance doubling to 6000. After speaking with both Fred McKinnon and Adam Ogden, it also looks as if this year’s team is kicking the event up a notch in music and tech. This is a must-attend event.

In the spirit of kicking it up a notch, when I was approached again to do the website this year I decided to scratch everything I had done before and hit it with an all-new design direction and back-end. Basing it off of some graphics provided by WUTS’s marketing company, I went through about 3 different designs before settling on one. The final product is now online at http://www.worshipunderthestars.com/. Take a look.

Also, don’t forget to buy tickets. There is a possibility of sell-out so get them early. Buy them here.

Hope to see you there. I’ll be doing photography again so look for the guy with the camera wearing a WUTS staff t-shirt.

There is a place below to leave a comment, so tell me what you think of http://www.worshipunderthestars.com/.

(Sorry, Emeril, for stealing your phrase. Bam!)

I get a slight reminder of the Blues Brothers when I think of Charles Ryan. I could picture him telling his friends and family back in May “I’m on a mission from God” and seeing the reactions. Yeah it’s crazy, but anyone who decides to walk until God says “stop” gets cool points in my book.

So here I am to announce FlippingBlind.com v1.5. I just finished adding new features to his site like a Google map that shows many of the places he has been and the posts associated with them, a new layout, and some minor tweaks and additions that make the experience better.

Head over there and read about what’s going on and maybe drop him a few comments or sign his guestbook. Take me to FlippingBlind.com!
