Wednesday Morning Run-Down

• Spent a great day with Charles Hill and the Sticks team in Tampa, FL yesterday. Awesome guys. Although it poured rain the entire time in "sunny" Florida.
• Great book on the presentation secrets of Steve Jobs. via @jontyson
• The Dream Year class is making HUGE strides toward their dreams in just two months. I'm going to feature some Dream Year stories at STORY 2010.
• Love these faux "leather book" cases for Mac laptops. via @johnbryson
• Learning about more and more Christian thinkers / leaders attending the 99percent in NYC. I'll be there...
• After reading Story by Robert McKee, Ainsley and I both yell, "No inciting incident!" at the beginning of most movies we watch. "Booooo!" Great book for communicators in the church.
• John Maxwell's new book looks interesting. Although...
• Scott Hodge said some great things about Adobe Pro Connect for things like coaching networks.
• I got a personal e-mail from Anne Lamott last week, which, for a writer, is like hearing from Bono.
• My wife Ainsley has grown the Whiteboard Facebook group to over nearly 240 people in just a week. The WIBO virus is spreading.
• The winner of two free tickets to Whiteboard was Rick Estes. He was randomly chosen from people who helped spread the virus. More giveaways to come.
• The difficulties of ministry can either make you angry... or wise. The backstabbers, the stand-you-uppers, the liars and the abandoners. They can either make you deep-centered or defensive... better or bitter.
