Blackle
I saw this on an old high school friends Facebook. Sorry Sharna, you aren’t really old… but you are an old friend. It’s called "Blackle" and it’s a Google alternative that is essentially Google with a different style sheet. The theory is that by making the screen black/gray that the combined monitor energy savings will…

YouVersion Alpha Test
I’ve gotten a sneak peek at Lifechurch.tv‘s new Bible resource called YouVersion. (To see full-sized screenshots, click on the images) Just in my initial look at their alpha test there are some features that are absolutely going to revolutionize how some people read/use the Bible online.

Pet Peeve: Church websites that don’t have addresses

Lappy go poo poo
It finally broke. The little connector thing that connects my laptop to the wall busted. I tried to repair it and it ended up shattered in several large chunks. $42 dollars later at the Dell.com store and I’ll have a new one in the next 24-48 hours. And yes, I said this to Paul and…

New stuff is in the air
There must be something in the summer air that has got me going… but there are all sorts of things swirling around my head. Sometimes I pray "stupid prayers" to God. I asked Him to take what I’m doing and blow it up for you. Maybe that meant "destroy" or maybe that meant "make it…
