"Prepare to jump to... Ludicrous speed!" (Spaceballs)

I'm posting after a week. What a week. Topping the list of accomplishments for the week was the secret launch of the new therockchurch.info, a project that began back in late July. It's a work in progress, although the new buzzword for that is "beta". I still have a few pages to complete, but the majority of necessary information is available. It doesn't display properly on IE 6.0, but that's okay, everyone should be running FireFox (HA!).

I Fit...I Am The Rock Church Night went off with a bang! Over 300 people showed up for our annual Volunteer & Vision meeting. Youth Pastor Travis and Children's Director Staci did a great job at hosting Bingo.

Interns began the year last week. Staci and I were given the opportunity to take the 1st years for a little exercise and it was a great experience. The Interns are definitely meshing as a team and getting used to performing cohesively.

And to prove my geekiness, I picked up a smokin' deal of a 20" wide screen LCD monitor from newegg.com to complete my trifecta of LCDs. That's right- 3 monitors. I'll downsize back to two, just so my cubicle outlet doesn't explode (Clark W. Griswold ring a bell?).

My next future dilemma is a phone decision. I can go with the Apple iPhone or the BlackBerry Curve. I don't need a music library, just pictures. I need internet, texting, and email. I have resigned to the fact I'll be a phoneslinger, wearing the weapon on my hip; ready to retrieve it at my whim; affording me multiple opportunities to drop-test the phone from a mere 28" off the ground.

I began earnestly today on learning Dreamweaver CS3. It's been pretty much an assault on my patience and senses from the get-go. I can plunk away at a basic web site, and try to figure out how to do stuff. I have no clue on some of the tags, I just swing away at it. Usually it's hit & miss, and I have to wait for the order to go all the way around (start from scratch). In short, I've been standing on shoulders of geniuses (original programmers) and trying not to fall off.

That said, I think my first effort isn't too shabby. I have some fine tuning, but the template is nearly done. At 9:20 I finally stepped away from the fire. I'll hit it hard tomorrow around 2 or 3pm.

And no, I'm not going to share it with the world (yet).
