5min Life Videopedia
I came across this site on TechCrunch and will be giving the site a more thorough persusal when I have some actual free-time to do so.  The concept is intriguing (user-submitted 5 minutes tutorials on everything under the sun) and the potential to learn some really cool stuff is great!  I can see myself trying out the Salsa tutorial or maybe learning a couple of breakdance moves…just because I can.

Cool Site of the Day

Looking for a hip poster to add to your wall art?  Check out the cool posters from the gang at “ThePosterList” [ LINK: www.theposterlist.com ] Some of it is a little politically slanted (not my way) but the designs are definitely top-notch.

Establishing a Not-To-Do-List

August 17, 2007  |  by Jon Haarstad  |  Cool Links, General  |  No Comments

Recently I’ve been keying in on a couple of resources relating to lifestyle design.  The first and most important foundation is the principles of GTD (”Getting Things Done” by David Allen).  The second and more recent addition to the reworking of my priorities and life schedules is coming from the writings of Timothy Ferriss.

Check out Timothy’s recent blog related to a wonderful concept – “The Not-To-Do List: 9 Habits to Stop Now”.  This is a good discussion of cutting out the things in life that do more harm than good.

Pownce Invites Available

July 27, 2007  |  by Jon Haarstad  |  Cool Links, General  |  No Comments

I finally received my Pownce invite.  Wahoo!  So that means two things.  1) I’m now on Pownce and 2) I have invites to pass out.  Comment to let me know if you would like to receive an invite.  I will pass along invites (limited) to those I deem worthy…whatever that means.

A little self-promotion…

July 22, 2007  |  by Jon Haarstad  |  General  |  No Comments

To all my church friends (and beyond), I thought this would be a good time to invite you to check out an online tool/resource I hope to use for Portland Christian Center (”My-Actual-Church”) in the next phase of our web development cycle.  I passed along some logo ideas to the folks at MyChurch.org and they were gracious enough to not only give them a serious look but also move it up the chain and consider the ideas for the next phase of their development.  They just posted a blog to that effect so I invite you all to hop on and check it out.  Feedback is being requested.

Since I’d like all my church friends to hop on board, I can now offer one more reason to do so – to support me.
