Picture how we think...

Living is simple.
Life is complex.

Words have such power,
yet pictures turn "pow" into "DY-NO-MITE!"

a guy who gets to dress up other peoples wordsWe just watched Tim Burton's delicious visualization of
R.Dahl's Chocolate Factory...
we laughed,
we drooled,
we oompa'd and we loompa'd
(this part gave me nightmares when i was a kid)

I dreamed aloud that my kids
(each more graphically talented than i)
would one day turn some great book into some great film.

I began to feel that gloom again,
the one that always says I've got nothing
of value to say, or write, or create...



...and then i stumbled, with help from McNair,
onto this wonder-blog which catalogued
some of the great infographics running around out there.
i immediately found three to send to friends,
i love it when a well done graphic can wrap a complex idea into an interesting package.

i geek out over the educational possibilities.
my right-brain wants to ride a roller-coaster right now...

let's take for example the perplexing task of ordering the
you really want without feeling like a fool.
now you can print this picture, put it in your purse,
whip it out next time you're in line at Peets,
and get the macchiato of your dreams.


now if i could just find someone with the talent and the time
to render my thoughts on discipleship, church history, and the hybrid church...
now,  i'm not talkin'    
or bar graphs people  ...

i want a !


that would be nice.
but for tonite i'll have to settle for words.
sigh.
