#GoWeek

By Andrew Ledwith on August 24, 2011 • Geek • 0 Comments

Last night at the Go Week kickoff Michael Mears briefly mentioned the Twitter hashtag #GoWeek. If you’re not on Twitter, a hashtag is a way of categorizing tweets by subject. So if you’re tweeting about Go Week, by including #GoWeek in that tweet it would show up in a search amongst all other tweets with that hashtag. It makes it easy to follow what’s happening throughout an event whether or not you know the people talking about that event in the real world.

Because I’m king of the geeks I’ve set up Boxcar on my iPhone to alert me whenever someone tweets using the #GoWeek hashtag. Overkill? Maybe. But I’m experiencing Day 1 of Go Week from my office in the College of Business instead of amongst the students, so I’m eager to find out what’s happening.

No New Podcast Episode this Week

By Andrew Ledwith on August 23, 2011 • Share • 0 Comments

As you might have noticed (emphasis on might) I did not post a new podcast episode yesterday. This is the first time since I started podcasting back in May that I’ve missed a week, which if you’d allow me to congratulate myself I think is a rather impressive accomplishment. Yesterday I had a lot of work to do at all three of my jobs. One of my new tenants moved in, I attended part of a planning meeting and also a pool party with the FSU Navigators, and my job at The Marketing Institute was as busy as ever. Plus my new roommate moved in and I wanted to help him get situated with whatever remaining time I had.

I invite you to listen to a past episode. My favorite one so far is episode ten, entitled The Healing Process.

UPDATE: No new podcast on the 22nd or the 29th. Same old story: too busy. But next Monday is Memorial Day and I promise I will have a new episode that day.

Go Week 2011 – A Mission Trip to Campus

By Andrew Ledwith on August 19, 2011 • Ministry • 1 Comment

Go Week 2011Classes at Florida State start on August 29, but the campus will be abuzz with activity during the days preceding. This has always been a time when campus ministries at FSU like The Navigators make a big push to connect with incoming freshmen, to help them move in, serve them lots of free food, give them the lowdown on Tallahassee, and provide an overall warm welcome.

This year is no exception. For the second straight year, campus ministries are teaming up in order to make the biggest impact. Between August 24-26 a total of eight ministries are participating in Go Week. The FAQ on its website explains:

Go Week is a “mission trip to campus.” It is a time of serving campus through a variety of ways and connecting with literally hundreds of new students. It is a time of coming together with a dozen other campus ministries to make much of the name of Christ all across campus.

The future is full of possibilities and opportunities. The question becomes, how will I get where I’d like to go? How do you live a life on purpose? Is that even possible? What will I have to sacrifice? What am I willing to endure?

Who will come with me?

An Ugly Heart Observed

By Andrew Ledwith on August 15, 2011 • Podcast • 0 Comments

In this episode I share thoughts on how the Gospel impacts our actions in day-to-day lives and how forgetting the Gospel leads to an ugly heart. Sorry for the mumbling and low volume. I wasn’t entirely awake yet when I recorded this episode.

Rough Thoughts on Psalm 102

By Andrew Ledwith on August 8, 2011 • Podcast • 0 Comments

I haven’t had too much time to process these thoughts–or any other thoughts in recent times for that matter–but in this episode I’m going to share some first impressions. Yesterday my pastor gave a message on Psalm 102 that I found to be especially applicable to my year. I also give a brief update on my ridiculously busy month.

A New Way to Introduce Myself

By Andrew Ledwith on August 2, 2011 • Share • 0 Comments

Personal Page

I really dig this new page I whipped up. It’s on a subdomain of my website: whois.jaledwith.com. I intend to use it as a way to introduce myself to people via the web. If I ever get around to having some calling cards printed I intend to include this page’s address on those cards (or possibly a short domain that points to this page).

Even though my blog is my primary web property it’s not exactly a great way to find out who I am and what I’m all about in a hurry. The first content you see on my blog is whatever I’ve been writing recently. Yeah, the About Me page is just a click away, but even that page is about me in relation to the blog. This is much more general. Plus, I think this new page is a lot more striking than my intentionally minimalistic blog.

I made this page using The Personal Page, a great template developed by Naz Hamid. This is the first time in a while that I’ve made a website without using WordPress. I’m pretty sure the first person I saw using this template was Chris Bowler. The photo is by Bryan Zhang. I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of this shot, using it on my new Nav prayer card and several places on the web.

Let me know what you think of my new personal page.

Casting a Vision

By Andrew Ledwith on August 1, 2011 • Podcast • 0 Comments

In this week’s episode I talk about my recent experience casting a vision for the Wildwood Young Professionals. I candidly share my dislike for the role in general and how I’m really just imitating what I’ve seen others do. I also give a brief update on my property management situation.

I will eventually start using a better microphone. Sorry for the crackling. Also, sorry for my loud roommates.

Engagement Safari

Watch on Vimeo: Safari Engagement

Lionel Worthington, star of the Campus Safari videos, was part of his most important project yet last week. This time he was playing a role in a real-life engagement story. It was a classic bait-and-switch. Sara, the actress who played Annie in the second Campus Safari video, was asked to rush out to a park in Tallahassee to shoot another video. This time she was to play an adult and would need to be dressed up for the part. Shaun, the man who is now her fiancé, was there waiting for her.

To really sell the scheme Bryan, the director, sent Sara a fake script. He and Zack were at the park shooting this little intro, I presume in order to keep her truly unaware until the moment she saw Shaun. Well done, men. And again, congratulations to Shaun and Sara!

Installing Mac OS X Lion

By Andrew Ledwith on July 25, 2011 • Podcast • 1 Comment

In this week’s episode I ask that you indulge me as I geek out and talk about my experiences installing Mac OS X Lion on two different Macs. Even if you’re not into that sort of thing, the first story is pretty interesting even without any technical knowledge.

At one point in this podcast I say that I wish my computer was roaring like it used to. I apologize for the unintentional terrible pun.

Just for grins, I counted how many bounces it took for Chrome to open when I went to write this post. It bounced fifty times before opening. Yes, fifty. Ugh.
