Its probably not great taste to keep turning emails into content, but this is another one of those cases where it just makes sense. Especially if you are interested in using QR Codes in ministry. QR Codes in Ministry QR Codes have been used for more than a decade in Japan and SK. Essentially, its […]
It is considered standard fare when meeting someone in my travels to be asked for a business card. And most times, I’ve taken that request with such disdain. I mean really, we’ve got mobile phones – just ask me for my mobile number and SMS me your contact information because you’ve got that saved (and […]
Always nice to see others putting together various experiments and implementations of edge-case technologies. This one, from the folks at Church Mag is taking the idea of QR Codes, and mapping some interactive and sharing elements to it.

Some years ago, the year when I attended both the BibleTech and VSN Leadership Conferences, I did something that was weird to some, amazing to some, and confusing to others: I plugged my mobile into the projector, and using a Bluetooth keyboard or joystick, was able to control the presentation (see the VSN video). This […]
One of the things that I like about many Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches – that is, the really old ones – is the purity of form and function. Everything from the stained glass to the arrangement of the seating, to even the weight of the doors, conveys to you some sense that you […]
