Think about the first time you rode a bike. Were you amazing or did you scratch your knee? I’m guessing you got hurt… if you didn’t get hurt… I’ll bet you didn’t go off and win the Tour-de-France that same year. But maybe you’re pretty good now right? That’s called experience. I know, I know. I’ve got some pretty revolutionary stuff in this blog post.

Now do you remember the first you saw a tornado? For me it was in the movie Twister with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Young Philip Seymour Hoffman talking about the suck zone… flying cows… Aunt Meg’s burgers. Brings me back…

Anyways. When you first saw that tornado, either on the TV screen or in real life. You didn’t have a sudden urge to run right up to it and go for a quick little tour around the corn field did you? No… of course not. That would be silly.

I wrote that useless post to lead up this really good next line:

Wise comes with experience, but it doesn’t mean you have to go through the eye of the storm to know a tornado is windy.

When you think about it… this business model seems very similar to the Christian church. We want to make God’s word available to everyone, so we print the Bible in a bunch of different languages. Members of the Christian community are called Christians but we are cool if you believe in Jesus but don’t call yourself a Christian. Okay… so only a couple things they listed correlate to the Christian church. One thing they didn’t discuss in the infographic is how Wikipedia is funded. They are 100% funded by donations. Sound familiar?

Back in the day… my good friend Mike Kramer would get us all excited about a short video he wanted to make.

He made a lot of them.

I am such a skinny, nerdy playa in this one.

What kind of old school creative stuff do you have lying around?
