Here is my first iPhone case testing video with ZellaTek.  While some of our videos will certainly be wild and crazy like this one, most will be more normal everyday type videos to show how certain cases hold up to real life situations.  Hope you enjoy!!  Until next time.

The picture no one wants to see.

Posted on January 25, 2012 by

Earlier today I posted this picture on my Facebook page with the caption:

“I am just wondering, when did this stop being a baby?  Wait, when did this stop being a human?”

I was in no way trying to offend or make angry, I was merely asking a question of our culture.  When did our children stop being our children and become a choice?  When did fellow humans stop being human and just a bunch of cells?  While I certainly know that abortion is a very sensitive subject and many have strong feelings about it, I was unprepared for the backlash I received from posting the picture.

Abortion is a tough issue and I think we do ourselves a great disservice by not really addressing it.  Since abortion became legal 50 MILLION children have been aborted!!!  50 MILLION!!!!  Future Presidents, Doctors, Lawyers, Mom’s, Dad’s, Pastors, Teachers. Nobel Prize Winners, etc. all dead!!  Many killed because of convenience.  Others because of pressure.  Some because of rape or incest.  ALL still dead.  Many who commented on the post asked that I remove the picture immediately because it was gross or disturbing.  But should disturbing pictures of an aborted baby be taken down because they are “gross” or “disturbing?”  Should we turn a blind eye to something because it makes us uncomfortable?

While I am not here to condemn anyone who has had an abortion.  I do desire to talk about the fact that much like divorce in this country, abortion has become WAY to easy to get!!!  Abortion is the little sin that no one really wants to talk about and wrestle with!!  While I am staunchly pro-life I do wrestle with abortion.  Here’s what I mean:

* I believe life begins at conception.  I believe life is precious and should be protected.  I believe that when sperm and egg meet we have life and that life should be given EVERY opportunity to live, no matter the circumstances that brought it into the world.  I believe that easy to get abortions are wrong.  I believe that information should be fully disclosed to the woman. man, and everyone else involved on what happens during an actual abortion.  I don’t believe that rape and incest are grounds for abortion.  As a matter of fact the only time I think that an abortion is MAYBE the right choice is when the life of the mother is in actual danger of death.  That means that the baby and mother will die if the baby is not aborted.  EVEN THEN I WRESTLE WITH IT!!! *

I have a wonderful bride whom I love dearly!!  I would honestly wrestle with the decision of an abortion if we (key word here is we) were pregnant and her life would end if we carried the baby to full term.  Anyone who says they wouldn’t wrestle with that decision is a liar!!  If you haven’t talked about this issue with your spouse, YOU SHOULD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

Many will take what I am saying and claim that I am supporting abortion.  That is not what I mean.  What I mean to communicate here is that I believe we make abortion a light issue by not wrestling it out.  I believe that we are afraid of what it would mean for us if we actually talked about it.  I think we would be surprised by how we really feel about it.  Most would say that they are totally 100% against it, while others may favor it as a last effort to save the mother.  Either way I think we should talk about it without name calling and anger.  I believe we can be more effective in handling abortion if we were to look at the above photo and call it son or daughter.  Maybe I should call it Truett, Graham, or Breslyn.

Often times when we put a name to a face we personalize that individual.  Maybe if we humbly came together to discuss this issue with closed mouths and open hearts we would be able to effect more change.  Maybe.

Until next time.

 

Much love,

Shawn

What you don’t want your roofer to find.

SOPA, ACTA and the end of the Internet

Posted on January 23, 2012 by

Unless you were in a coma last week I’m sure you saw the uproar over the draconian legislation introduced in Washington called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).  While it was guised as legislation that would put an end to piracy on the internet it was an attempt by the government to censor websites they deemed dangerous.  However, after a strong response from several major internet sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and several others the legislation was put on the back burner.

But don’t let that fool you!!  If there is one bill that the government is offering that gets defeated, you can pretty much guarantee that the Thought Police in Washington will either have one as backup or try to sneak one in on another bill.  Say hello to ACTA!!!  What is ACTA?  Almost the EXACT same legislation as SOPA!!!  Check out this video on what it the potential of doing if passed:

From Wikipedia:

“The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a proposed plurilateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement.[1] It would establish an international legal framework for countries to join voluntarily,[2] and would create a governing body outside international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations.[1][3] Negotiating countries have described it as a response “to the increase in global trade of counterfeit goods and pirated copyright protected works.”[2] The scope of ACTA includes counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the Internet.[4] Groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) oppose ACTA,[5] stating that civil society groups and developing countries were excluded from discussion during ACTA’s development in an example of policy laundering.[6"

The reason the governments around the world are beginning to crackdown on the internet is because the internet is the last beckon of freedom and free speech the world has.  Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace have helped social movements grow from a few protesters to MILLIONS around the world.  Sites like Google and Wikipedia have opened up the flow of information to every person with a computer or smart phone.  This is a threat to the establishment authority.

If the world is to continue in the spirit of freedom that is sweeping the globe it will because the internet remains free.  Should there be protections for intellectual property?  Absolutely!!  However, there are already laws to deal with such problems, they only need to be enforced!!  For now we must keep our eyes open to keep governments from restricting free speech on the internet or we all may be criminals soon!!  Until next time.

Much love,

Shawn

Imagine

Posted on January 19, 2012 by

Imagine for a moment that this was actually taking place in America.  How would you feel?  How would you react?  What would you do to protect your family?  What would you do to defend your fellow countrymen?  How would you feel if one of your family members were killed, raped, or imprisoned?  How would you feel if your grandfather or grandmother were harassed by foreign troops?  How would you feel if your wife or sister were afraid that foreign troops were coming to take you from them?  Now Imagine what those in Iraq or Afghanistan feel.

Our current foreign policy is unjust, illegal, and dangerous to our national security!!  We MUST CHANGE IT NOW!!!
