This is very cool. Should have interesting implications for buyers, shippers and possibly vandals (sad but true).

FedEx is going to offer a new service called SenseAware that allows customers the ability to monitor the actual environmental conditions of their shipment(s) by utilizing a GPS device. Very nice website by the way!

You will gladly pay the $120/month for this service if you ship perishable goods or expensive items, etc.

I’m most impressed that you as a customer can begin to track their package through every distribution center, truck, airplane, train and so on to determine the overall treatment of their packages during shipping. To see which people were negligent with your goods or where in the shipping process your stuff was ruined. That is invaluable information. This will profoundly impact quality control procedures for tons of companies.

Many implications, but overall a great feature for companies and individuals.

Found a great resource for anyone looking to use jQuery on your site.

jQueryPlugins – Plugins, Extensions & jQuery JavaScript Library

This is a great site that is structured like a blog. Plenty of samples and examples for you to use because the code and demos are available right there.

If you’re married, then you should read this book. If you plan to be married, read this book.

Piper really dissects the truth and core of marriage. “Marriage was designed from the beginning to display the new covenant between Christ and the church.”

A man and a woman unite in one flesh to honor God, bring glory to His name and be a reflection of the relationship God has with His people, (the church).

Men, realize that your marriage is the most important thing in your life, aside from (but in addition to) your Father/son relationship with God. The more you put into your marriage with your wife, the better it will be. If you neglect it, expect it to deteriorate.

Also, realize that just as Satan tried to tear Jesus away from the Father, Satan just as desperately wants to tear you away from your wife. To separate and destroy the body of Christ. God is the victor though and if He is the defining factor of your marriage, the head over it, you win too.

More on this book soon…

We have a new puppy to be a little brother to our 2yr old Yorkie. They do very well together just as my wife and I hoped. But when one is sick, it’s difficult keeping them apart.

I don’t have children yet, but I will say this about dogs. Having a sick dog is the worst, like having a sick baby I imagine. They can’t talk or point or help you know what is wrong. You have to guess, judge bowel movements, puking, etc.

Honesty, I don’t think vets can do much more than guess either or make ‘educated’ guesses. They’re stuck attempting to treat a silent patient. I know they try, but throwing pills, scans, blood work, etc into the mix in hopes of finding something out of place is costly and often pointless. I don’t envy veterinarians.

The worst part of having a sick puppy is the way they look at you. Obviously something is wrong. In my case, she’s not playful or jumping around or chasing her new little brother. Even a ball, a BALL takes effort to play with. It’s just sad.

Should we pray for God to heal our pets? I don’t think it’s out of the question, but I’ve never had reason to consider it before. In all, sick dogs are the worst. Hope you get better Berkley.

100 Most Creative People by FastCompany

Fast Company Magazine (@FastCompany) has put together a collection of 100 people they feel are the most creative right now in business. What I find interesting is the wide array of people that made this list. Fashion Designers, Artists, Movie/Film/TV, Entrepreneurs, Engineers, Techies, a Poker Player and some are simply regular people with a great idea and plenty of drive to achieve their unique vision.

I like that most of these people are successful within a specific niche. Many are masters at their trade or skill or area of interest. Some are willing to think outside the box, stick with it and create totally radical products/services/ideas.

This list also provides us an opportunity to see the faces of people who are behind many of the top industries around the world.

Not to mention, I think Fast Company did a great job with this page regarding style and interactivity.
