If you take a look at my "submit comment" form now, you'll notice the sudden disappearance of the little question to determine if you're human or not. That's thanks to Mollom, a very cool new deal from the guy behind Drupal. Basically, when you submit a comment, my site now submits it to Mollom, it determines if you're a human or not, and, if it can't tell, it will give you one of those test questions. It's over 99% accurate on identifying spam and has been awesome both on the fshbwl and Genesis pages, so that should take care of any issues with commenting once and for all.

Another very cool new deal that I'll hopefully be getting a beta invite to in the next few days is Soocial. Basically, it will take contacts from my Address Book, LinkenIn, Facebook, Gmail, Google Apps accounts, and my phone and keep them all synced. How incredibly cool is that?

Given all that I do that involves faith and technology, this is one of those videos that forced me to stop, think, and wonder. How do you see this connecting to your life? I'll try and post more later on what I'm taking from it.

Given that I've spent the past week updating the business plan and buying a new domain (fshbwl.com) for the Fishbowl, not to mention getting mentioned on a site featured in this video, I serious had to laugh at this. Luckily, I have no dreams of getting rich!
