    A Not-So-Normal Kindle 2 Review

    A Not-So-Normal Kindle 2 Review

    Being the technology type, I had been looking at the Kindle 2 since it was announced and found it very intriguing.  Most everyone that looks at the Kindle, 1st or 2nd generation, balks at the price of the device but being a photographer and traditionally having to spend $1,000’s on one single lens, spending $360 [...]

    The Church’s New Drug of Choice // Part 1

    The Church’s New Drug of Choice // Part 1

    The Internet can be many things to many people.  Can it be the drug of choice today or is that to harsh a term to describe what we as a society have done with the Internet?
    Most of the time we have a negative connotation associated with a “drug”, but drugs can be just as positive [...]

    Can Technology Yield a Better Prayer Life

    Can Technology Yield a Better Prayer Life

    In short, I would say, no.  There are so many things technology can do, especially with networks like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and all the others we know and love, but I am not sure if prayer is one of them when you look at the traditional definition of prayer, communicating with God.  There are sites [...]

    I Have Now Joined the Ranks of Church IT?

    I Have Now Joined the Ranks of Church IT?

    I received something yesterday that I haven’t received in almost 15 years (other than from myself), from a man I respect more each day as we begin to work together.  A paycheck.  It was really kind of strange actually.  Over the past almost 15 years, Deb and I have owned our own business and worked [...]

    Let Me Text You with My Master Plan

    Let Me Text You with My Master Plan

    I love technology.  We can find so many ways to do things we never dreamed of before and create things we can’t live without before we even knew they existed.  Some things are trendy, some useful, but many are to organize our life in some form or fashion, basically to make our life more simple [...]

    Does a Church Really Need a Website?

    Does a Church Really Need a Website?

    I have been working with church websites since I first became a believer around 1995 and offered to do website work for a large church in Birmingham.
    Of course, this was long before churches decided that having a web presence was just as important for them as it was for the local civic center, and the [...]
