This tool might become the best friend of web designers and layout people from around the web. With ConceptShare, you can use their free, web-based collaboration tool for any design project you're working on. This short tour gives a quick look at what you could do with it. I bet some web development companies with clients in other states or countries could really use something like this instead of trying to talk about a design over the phone because you can highlight and draw basic outlines on the image itself as well as leave comments. Of course, it would work to collaborate with other graphics/media types as well as web design, but my focus is definitely web-related.

My friends Rus, Nick, and Jon have given the next couple years of their lives to be missionaries. No, they're not in Africa or India. They're missionaries to a part of the city of Indianapolis in the state of Indiana, right here in the United States. Why? It's simple.

These men are not preaching some "you need to be saved or you'll go to hell" gospel. They're preaching the Gospel of life together in a Christian community. They're not trying to count the number of people they've brought to Christ, they're making friends to share life with in Christ. Just check this out:

Their brand new blog is a great place to learn more about what they're doing and what the People of Praise is bringing to the world. Of course, feel free to join the discussion there about what life in Christ really looks like.

For my friends in the People of Praise who want yet another easy way to get started with blogs, I've put together a current OPML file of all the blog feeds. Save this to your desktop and then import it into your feed reader such as Google Reader. The only downside is that this won't automatically update. However, I've included the feed of People of Praise member blogs with it so that you'll be notified of new blogs. Enjoy!

Update: Justin noted to me that this file does not include The Bunge. Don't miss it or you'll miss out, seriously.
