I create culture shifts. Web Evangelist. Strategist. Consultant. I help non-profits and faith-based groups make the necessary cultural changes to fully embrace online media.
While I firmly believe that there are times when the use of flash can increase usability, I would argue that in most cases there is always a better alternative.

Each of us makes a choice to open our lives to the world online. Some tweet every living moment, others opt to not participate. It’s not my job to judge which is right or wrong.

Call me a hardliner on the subject, but if you’re willing to share your life online – be prepared for the world to be watching … including your pastor.
