So, for those of you keeping me accountable to my Three Words, I've finished reading 12 books in the first quarter of 2010.  I'm on track for my goal of 40.  I do have some "bigger" books coming up which will take a bit longer than normal to read.  I also have a Cisco certification test to study for, so, it will certainly be interesting 🙂

As far as "play & share" – now that the weather is nicer, I'm looking forward to being outside with the family more.  We've gone geocaching a few times this last month and found some neat stuff.  I'm continuing to meet with a local pastor to talk about life & ministry and such.  I look forward to that time every Wednesday morning.  I'm continuing to make myself available to other IT folks – both in the profit & nonprofit world.  For any non-profit (especially church) IT folks that stumble here – please – go check out CITRT and get involved.

I also had a unique opportunity to serve alongside two great guys (Gordon & Jon) and help a local multisite church develop a plan for leveraging technology to reach others for Christ.  We spent about 90 days with the staff – meeting & planning some "Digital Missions" efforts for their congregation.

I've talked many times about the random projects I'm working on for LifeChurch.tv – so I won't belabor those points.  We're still pressing forward there and making significant progress on Exchange 2010, Ruckus Wireless, Dynamics SL, Cisco Unity upgrades, etc.

Anyway, that's my first quarter.

What's been going on in your world?
