Guest Blogger: Michael Muller

As promised, we have lined up a wide variety of guest bloggers for you over the next few months, and I am proud to introduce you to our first guest. This gentlemen is a great friend, great musician, great client, and all around nutbag. He is one of the most creative and inspiring human beings that I have ever met. If you are a musical aficionado you are probably already familiar with the band Balmorhea. Their album 'Constellations' was described by the BBC as 'unravel hidden seams of loveliness.' My review was much simpler... 'It's just bad to the bone.' Watch out, you will probably get hooked. Make sure...

One of my favorite things to design is sermon series artwork. It has the challenge of a custom logo, targeted audience, and most importantly a clear, yet meaningful message. This is a fairly new phenomenon over the past 20 years via the ever evolving mega church.  In fact the mega church has created a bit of an animal when it comes to the modern worship service. It is now commonplace to have the perfect walk-in music, a countdown video, fog machines, and laser lights all before the service even starts. Lifechurch.tv just recently launched there series At The Movies. Some of the campuses had themed out their foyers in such a way that might...

Every week I seem to get in a conversation about Twitter and how people just don't understand it. In-fact, most people I meet are down right intimidated by it, and that is probably why I love it. We keep out the riffraff by making it feel exclusive. It is the world's largest fraternity, and you don't even have to pay to get in. For some reason it makes you feel cool when you post something funny or profound to all 100 people that might happen to have read your tweet that day. Will Ferrel recently posted one of my favorite quotes:

"Twitter makes me like people I've never met and Facebook makes me hate people I know...

Every week I have the privilege of working with different churches and non-profit organizations, helping them find ways to raise awareness, increase effectiveness, and ultimately further the mission of their organization. I cannot tell you how many times our conversations begin with, 'I want to do what they are doing?' As a father of 4 kids under the age of 7, I am very familiar with this statement. My typical response is, 'Well Son, our family does things a little different, Bobby's parents may let him ride his bike in the middle of the street, but we'd rather you not die, so stay on the sidewalk.' Its sad to say, we never really outgrow the...

Last week I was at home watching the kids, and of course just like a good Dad... I lost one them. Luke was nowhere to be found. He wasn't outside, wasn't in his room, he wasn't anywhere. I must admit that my first reaction was not one of worry, but rather, I was furious. It was time for bed, and that meant he was messing with 'my' time. Lo and behold I found him in my office (formerly my closet prior to watching too many episodes of small spaces on TLC.) 

"What are you doing in here? I have been looking for you everywhere." 

"Dad I am making you a video." 

"Luke... Go to Bed!" 

Here is a snippet of the video.
