What I’ve read the past week:

Ten Ways Ordinary People Became Good Leaders, part one (and part two) (from Thom Rainer): This is just a really really cool article. Being a leader, a good leader, is much more than the glitz and charisma that meets the public eye (if even that). As I read this article, I can think of quite a few ‘ordinary’ good leaders, too. And, this article encourages me as I do a good job with #5, #7, #9 while I continue to invest in the other ways.

Imagining a More Engaging Web: 3rd Anniversary of IE Test Drive (from IEBlog): This is a cool milestone for IE. And I’ve got a few features from over the years making some of these demos work 🙂

Man offers to sell house for bitcoins (from Ars Technica): This is kinda ridiculous. Whether it goes through or not, it’ll be interesting to see what bit coins can do to the world economy if it gets this kind of traction

Why we shouldn’t be so quick to set sail with Rob Bell (from Think Christian): The author does a good job of identifying the how the thoughts were formed rather than the thoughts themselves. Nuanced, but critical.

The Bible: It’s Just Not That Into You (from Rachel Held Evans via Ashley): Things that make you go “hmm…” She hit that mug right on the head.

Well, since I can’t share articles on Facebook, I’ll start posting them on my blog. I’ll start periodic posts call “good links” to collect notable articles I read around the web:

Want to Talk to Non-Christians? Six Tips from an Atheist (from qideas): One of the most honest articles I’ve read on the dialog between Christians and Athiests. This guy is a real bridgebuilder.

The Google Graveyard (from Slate): heh. esp regarding Google Glass

Meet the men who spy on women through their webcams (from Ars): This article does a good job of feeding my paranoia about technology.

Are we on the brink of a new Reformation? (from 3DM via Ed Stetzer): Really cool, thoughtful, catalytic article. “What we want is an orchard”.

Focus on mission, stay true to the cross, pope tells cardinals (from Reuters): While I’m no longer Catholic, I’m intrigued by Pope Francis. In addition to being a Jesuit (woot!), he has a clear concern for and identity with the poor. I’m curious to see how this pans out in the countries (and congregations) who don’t share this same sentiment in practice.
