How many email addresses do you have?

I have three:
1. For work (It only comes to the computer in my office)
2. For my blog (I check it once a day)
3. Personal (It comes to every computer I have, plus my phone. You know, just in case someone decides it’s more important to email an emergency instead of the ever-so-complicated phone call)

Your turn to confess.

Today is the big day! Everyone is rushing around and nerves are on edge. I think I just saw the bride throw up. Awesome! Wondering how you can get in on the action? I’ll be posting live updates via TwitPic and Twitter so come join me because I’m sure there are going to be some priceless moments. The wedding starts at 6:00 pm (EST) but I’ll get some behind-the-scene actions beforehand.

It’s all at: www.twitter.com/stevolec

Cheers, big ears.

On Monday, Apple unveiled it’s newest iPhone. I was watching live updates like the dork that I am and immediately thought I had to get it because it was better than the one I had. I must admit, that there was a struggle going on inside of me because I knew that no one would buy my current iPhone for anywhere near what I paid. How covetous of me! Then I got this email from Reggie Harris:

I know you are struggling with iPhone lust right now. I have faced and successfully fought off gear lust of many kinds from laptops, smartphones, and internet tablets. Let me share with you a few key questions that you need to ask yourself:

1) “Considering all of my stewardship responsibilities in saving, investing, and spending, is this the best use of the $200 that God has entrusted to me?”

2) If the above answer is yes, then ask yourself , “Why can’t I wait 3-6months for this?” (my own time frame is more like 12-24 months, but I’m giving you baby steps)

If you can answer an unqualified “YES!” to the first question and can give an answer to the second that would convince a dispassionate observer, then go for it.

That’s my way to fend off gear lust. Take it for what it’s worth.

It’s like he could read my mind. Anyways, I decided right then and there that I’m going to keep my current phone and fight off the fiendish gear lust. You can’t take me down!

Have you successfully beaten gear lust or have you lost? Please, do share.

Today I thought I was talking to my friend, Amber, on Google Chat. And then I realized…it wasn’t her.

The following image explains it all:

If you’re an avid Office fan, you’ll get the “beets” quote. If not, go here and laugh.

What’s your embarrassing story?
