Thoughts and Then Some

Greetings all; I want to first apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have been one part quite busy, and another part breaking into my new Treo 680. I am almost at the point of having on it most of the software that I had on my 650, but there are yet a few things to add (like the keyboard driver for my external keyboard). While much of what I needed to do has kept me away from the desktop, here I sit at one again because not everything is "smartphone mobile-enough" yet.

Here are some notes of some notable posts in the past few days that I have bookmarked in my RSS feeds:

- Church Tech Matters has posted part three of their Bible software review. This installment looks at some of the web offerings and throws in the question of which one do you use. There are a few that are nearly good enough to be a full study Bible (given a solid Internet connection and an input device like a TabletPC), but what do you all think about online Bible resources?
- Church Tech Matters also posted about a Christian Blogger survey that is being undertaken. Results will appear at at Church Communications Pro and Rick Warren's Ministry ToolBox.

A neat post there talks about mobile phone use in developing countries. The state of the mobile device is much different there as people use their mobile devices from everything from talking to people to fighting crime. Tis a great place and opportunity to teach a healthy use of mobile tech, while enabling the Gospel to have some digital legs as well.
- A story in the Washington Post talks about how one church is making technology work towards connecting and expanding the reach of the local assembly in the DC Metro area. I think that the most impressive thing is that this church has gotten so large that they realize that getting bigger is not necessarily the answer, but that they have to be more responsive in taking the Gospel to those areas that need it. Their use of technology (mobile, audio, video, people) to do this is quite impressive. While a large church, there are many ways to apply what they are doing to a smaller area or towards a smaller ministry effort.
