Greetings, Pie, and Some Milk

Don't even ask me where that title came from. But it was something that just ran thru and so I went with it. There has not been a whole lot to post about this week, the team is readying a slew of reviews on some very interesting software, and so those are coming pretty soon.

There is also an extra MMM surprise to come in the next few weeks, and this is something that you won't be able to miss at all.

In terms of news, there are tons of new phones coming out, even more laptops and personal media players. But those are only hardware and not very effective without a system that will at least show you how to best use them. A great set of posts at Tony Dye's website talks about these and other IT related issues discussed at a recent IT roundtable discussion. This is great, especially when trying to manage a ministry or organization. But there is always growth to be had.

I have been learning the value of just taking more time in worship and reading the Word lately. A new program I have been using has been great in helping me there (the review is coming and so I dont wanna talk to much about it). But it has been great being focused on the Word day in and out via my Treo.

So yea, we are still rolling here. And there is news to come. I am pretty sure that tomorrow will be nice and news filled (as that tends to happen when I come out and say that there has not been a super amount of news to report). If there is something that you would wish for MMM to review or report on, just drop us a line and we will see about talking about your product as it fits the pupose of this ministry.

Personally, I have been digging a lot into the mobile web and considering moving to a new device that will extend my abilities to be more all the more. The only thing is that I really like using the Treo and it is well made (read: efficient) for the way that I like to work. The new models coming out do not really make a signifiant improvement, and so I am looking around to see if any are better for my needs. Probably nothing for a little while yet, but there are some pretty exciting models coming, eaching with nice features that might work well for you while ministering on the go. There is even some software out there that is making it a lot funner to connect with news, events, and people. All in all, the mobile side of me has been growing, and as I grow, I'll be sure to share, and hopefully point someone to a better use of tech than just talking on the phone.

Demetri let me know that over at GearDiary, there is a giveaway of a soon to come phone that works on Cingular in the US (and is already for sale in parts of Asia and Europe) called the 8525 (or HTC TyTn, or a slew of other names in it various forms around the world). I would recommend checking out GearDiary for more than the contest though, Judie has been writing about mobiles for a long time, and her neat integration on life and tech is really neat.
