How-To Use the New HP Internet Monitor In Your Church
Does your church offer public computer access?
No, I’m not talking about free access to the church’s wifi network for anyone with a mobile computing device on them. I’m talking about a public computer for those that don’t have such technology at home.
Traditionally, this has been a touchy area for churches. Having a public computer available for anyone to use presents a multitude of issues: access to pornography, malicious intent, and the vulnerability of viruses.
Well, Thursday HP announced a new line of computers designed specifically for this use: the 1912nm Internet Monitor:

Is IFTTT As Time Saving As It Looks?
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with IFTT, which stands for ‘If This Then That’.
IFTTT is an app, a service that automatically does certain actions for you (the ‘that’) based on predefined triggers (the ‘this’).
Let me give a few examples:
- If I star a post in my Google Reader, add it to Buffer
- If an email comes into my Gmail with the word ‘newsletter’ in it, forward it to Evernote
- If I favorite a Tweet on Twitter, retweet it
- Download my Instagram photo’s automatically to Dropbox
There are many channels to choose from, including Facebook, Buffer, Twitter, Gmail, Evernote, Foursquare, etc. You activate each channel once, then create a task or ‘recipe’ which is a combination of a trigger and the corresponding action.
IFTTT checks every 15 minutes for new triggers and executes the action.
Here are a few of the recipes I’ve made for IFTTT:
An Interactive Online Tool to Help Worship Teams!
As worship leaders we are often in a league of our own (interpret that how you want 😉 ). We are usually misunderstood, ignored, or just too plain cool for everyone else.
Pretty Funny! Pretty True!
On the surface, the average churchgoer probably assumes we pick a few songs, gather for a quick practice, and then sing it as best as you can. But contrary to that, let’s assume that as worship leaders we take our calling very seriously. So much so that we actually want to give our best, we strive for excellence, and we want our worship team to do the same. [In the process however, let’s not make it overly spiritual, or too technical. Rather, a healthy balance of both.]
I strongly believe that If we want excellence from our worship teams, as worship leaders, we need to equip them with the right tools to achieve it.
Thankfully, today we have many tools at our disposal to help us get to that level and I want to introduce you to Worship Artistry. [Read more…] about An Interactive Online Tool to Help Worship Teams!
