A Mobile Start Towards Context

Am writimg this on the Nokia N900 with MaStory (formerly WordPy) and in many ways this device represents a point that some have realized, mobile computing is here to stay. Sure, everyone won't do everything from their mobile, but the capabilities are there to do more than most had imagined. And along with some mobile interations which are specific to this media, life changes.

Thing is, mobile is a personal movement too. It changes according to the user's context and at the same time submits to it. After a good bit of reading and reflecting, it seems the Body is changing likewise. Changing to fit the contexts of tech, new minorities/majorities, and a call to be organic and orthodox-like ridgid. Kind of fun of fun if you ask me.

For this site it means we too will change and adapt. But starting things on a mobile happens to be good enough for now. From here, its all about people and engaging them in their context while giving them Christ's context. For how we do mobile, this is the way forward.
