PICLENS Firefox Plugin

I discovered the PicLens Firefox Plugin today and was impressed with its abilities to pull photos from a Picasa Web Album or Flickr collection and on the fly create a fully 3D photo browser. From the website: PicLens provides an immersive full-screen experience for viewing photos on the supported sites listed below and on sites [...]

WordPress 2.5

I upgraded the WordPress installation on this blog to version 2.5 today.  There are more changes in this update than in any previous one that I’ve encountered.  My favorite is the media browser that allows you to view all your uploaded audio/images/video in a very elegant way.  Of course the entire admin section has been [...]

Bible Desktop – Software Review

I’ve been using some new Bible study software called Bible Desktop. It is written in Java, which for you non-techies simply means it can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux with a few minor differences in the way it works on each. For Bibles, dictionaries, commentaries, glossaries, etc., it uses modules from the Sword project, [...]

Current Reading

Hey just thought I’d mention the new sidebar widget that features the books I am currently reading or have recently read. Web 2.0 is so much fun. (Did I mention I hate coding? I like copy and paste though which is all I have to do to benefit from a lot of Web 2.0 technology)

Google Reader – How do you read the news?

Twenty years ago, the average American would sit down to a cup of coffee in the morning and read their favorite newspaper such as the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times or perhaps a local newspaper.  If you wanted to find out how your out of state relatives were doing, you’d sit down and [...]

Word Press – A short review

Well, who could imagine it to be this easy? I was able to set up a Word Press account, import all my Blogger posts from the last year and write this little review in under a half hour! To all you friends, neighbors and country men out there in the blogosphere who are using other [...]

Wikipedia

I am amazed every time I need some detailed information on a given topic at the thorough in-depth articles on Wikipedia. To think that an entirely volunteer unaffiliated group of people from around the world can produce a research tool of such magnitude in a few short years! If you haven't added it to your [...]
