Let’s Speed Up the Learning Curve
Yesterday's post is a great example of how a site gains popularity. I found a new site that I love, and I wanted everyone to know about it.
Since this site is only as effective as the quality of the opinions that debate here, the more we can spread the word about it, the smarter we'll all become.
So, I've tried to make it as easy as possible for you to share particular posts you find interesting on Facebook, Twitter and other social sites. If you look at the bottom of each post, you'll see a "Share" toolbar. By hovering over this toolbar, and clicking on your site of choice, you'll instantly post a link of that particular post to your wall or microblog and help recruit new opinions for that day, and hopefully for the long term.
I love the brains we currently have on this site, and I'm grateful to how much I've learned in the past few years because of you all. Now, let's make this place even better. Next time you like a post, click the "Share" toolbar, put it on your Facebook wall and let's get some new opinions in the mix here.

The Bored-Again Christian Podcast
"For Christians who hate Christian music."
Now, I've talked about this idea for a long time. In fact, that's the real point behind my band, Relevant Reverence. I often received compliments of my music along the lines of, "I wish more Christian music was like this."
And my response was always, "I'm sure there's a lot of guys like me in their basements making awesome stuff. There's just no way to hear it."
Turns out that show-runner Pete has been introducing the world to independent artsy Christian music through The Bored-Again Christian Podcast for years now. I just found about it a couple days ago, and can't recommend it highly enough. If you like the "idea" of great Christian indie-rock, but assume it must suck, give this a listen.
