I’ve read my fair share of blog posts, articles, and books on helping kids and teens navigate the digital age they live in. The brand new book Right Click: Parenting Your Teenager in a Digital World may not be the most extensive one, but it is one of the most level-headed approaches so far.
Right Click was authored by the Fuller Youth Institute, the same research institute that also published the widely acclaimed book Sticky Faith (if you’re a parent and you haven’t read that one: read it. Seriously, that book has taught me so much on how to ‘transfer’ my faith to my son). That means they don’t just throw alarming statistics around—on the contrary. They even warn that stats on teens and media use for instance are anything but clear. And they completely stay away from quoting anything on teens, digital media, and sex, since these stats are notably unreliable. I appreciate their value on being accurate and supporting their claims with research.

Back in October 2014, we posted a marvelous video by Joseph Herschel the Rube Goldberg Machine Master. Now he’s back with a new series of wonderful videos as ‘Jiwi’ an investor with range of Rube Goldberg machines that will supposedly make his life easier. However, for those around him, including his sister June, his machines tend to cause chaos for everybody else.

Back in 2010 Tom wrote a post for ChurchMag about a new utility called Ninite, and though the core concept of the site has remained the same, I thought it was about time we gave an updated review. I ran across Ninite after getting tired of having to install apps like Java, Quicktime, Chrome, Flash and Adobe Reader (neither of which are available anymore as was requested by Adobe) one at a time for every system I had to rebuild. Ninite has quickly become my go-to place for installing any of the applications they support.
