Juggling your day-to-day tasks as well as bigger projects can be a real pain in the neck. It’s easy to lose track of things and get double booked. That’s why having a tool which helps you to keep track of what you have going on and coming up is very useful, and the easier it is to use, the better. That’s why electronic calendars are great to have, and luckily there is a new contender vying to be your calendar application.

Riddle Me This: What About Low Bandwidth? [Podcast #194]
Phil is back on the podcast!?!
We not only welcome him back, but we also answer a question submitted by John Wilkerson regarding bandwidth.
If you have sermon audio being listened to overseas, should you require a lower bit rate version for mobile downloads? Is it worth the while? Is it just those downloading media overseas?

Dwell: A New Way to Listen to Scripture [Kickstarter]
On a recent discipleship course I was attending, there was a sentence in the material that struck me:
The Bible and prayer are two ways to hear from God.
It’s kind of an obvious thing, but the sort of stuff that we can not really apply in our lives. We know God speaks through the Bible, and we want to hear from God…but do we turn to his word?
Well, there are various reasons why we don’t but easy of access can be a big one. For some people, reading just isn’t the easiest thing. It could be because of eyesight of specific learning difficulties. However, it would be bad if we just wrote these people off as being unable to learn from scripture. Luckily there is a new Kickstarter project that might help. Even better, it can also boost your scriptural habits even if you enjoy reading the Bible.

Last year, I set a goal to read 30 books. Eric and I even talked about it on the podcast last year. (We also discussed my Facebook fast. That didn’t last very long since the Facebook Groups app was mothballed.)
