ustream.tv experiment #2
Our second attempt at webcasting stuff from the church will take place this morning at 9:00 AM. For those new to the ustream.tv concept… be warned. This is nothing like broadcast television. Think of this as a live camera feed, completely raw and unedited. (Something similar to the raw feed you can watch on FoxNews.com)…

3 free webtools that have made significant improvements
I’m a self-proclaimed webdork. But as a webdork and the developer of some websites/blogs, there are a number of free web tools out there that are not only awesome, but have recently gone from "awesome" to "awesome-er." iGoogle (Formerly known as "google homepage" or "personalized homepage.")

A cool widget feature
This has a lot of applications. For YMX, I’d like to see our members help us just tell their blog readers about what’s getting published currently. But this could also work well any blog as it places easily on just about every blog and social networking platform out there. It’s called "widgetbox." Widgets are a…

Windows Vista
Last night at midnight, Microsoft released it’s new operating system called "Vista." This is the first major release since Windows XP in 2002 or something like that. I’ve seen some screen shots from Vista and it looks fine enough. I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying it unless you are getting it free with a computer. I…

Cool fundraising widget
Just found this and I thought it was worth passing along. This would be perfect for anyone raising money for anything. Mission trip. Camps. College education. Pointless computer upgrade. It’s pretty slick. What I really like about it is that it’s a widget that people can take from your site, if they believe in it,…
