The thoughts, opinions and experiences of John Andrew Ledwith • jaledwith.com
A couple weeks ago my now-former roommate Joe got married. Like most couples Joe and his bride Mandi had wedding pictures taken on the big day, and like most twenty-first century couples those photos hit Facebook not long after. My friend Scott and I have been having a lot of fun with one of those pictures. Here’s the original shot, taken by Krista Stone, depicting Joe jumping for joy.
Does anyone else dislike Facebook’s “Reconnect” feature? It’s on the home page, under the box that suggests people or pages you might want to connect with. Suggesting a first-time connection with someone is actually somewhat helpful. But suggesting I contact a friend I’ve been out of contact with for a while because some Facebook algorithm thought it’d be nice? That’s nearly useless. And because I can never leave well enough alone I found a way to block the bothersome nag.

I’m one of the Thomas Nelson book review bloggers. Earlier this week they were looking for bloggers to review Donald Miller’s upcoming book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Now, Donald Miller is one of my favorite contemporary authors. So I had already preordered the book. Months ago, actually. But I couldn’t resist being one of the first to have it.
I got my copies on Thursday afternoon. Wait, they sent me two?! The note included with the books suggested the second copy could be given away to one of my blog readers. I’ve never had a contest on my blog before. Sounds like a great idea!
What do you want your clothes to say about you? Well, now you can take chance out of the equation.
I recently read on Mashable about two different services that will turn your favorite status update into a t-shirt. If you’re like me then you just rolled your eyes. Status King allows you to take a Facebook status update and create a t-shirt out of it. If you’re more into Twitter, pipe your favorite tweet into TWItoShirt for the same deal. Each shirt will run you about $20, depending on the style you choose.
