The #1 Resource for Church Technology Creativity & New Thinking
Being a bit of an Apple fanboy (there I said it!), I love this! Rob Beschizza Managing Editor of the tech blog Boing Boing has put together a little video showing a whole barrel-full of apple design over the years.

I’ve never thought much about using a text snippet manager, before, but after seeing this app, I had to take a crack at it!
You can use the TextExpander app for email signatures or a multiple paragraphed response. It’s easy to use and has a lot of uses.
This is how it works:
TextExpander saves you countless keystrokes with customized abbreviations for your frequently-used text strings and images.
So, for instance, be typing “ddate,” it would automatically add the current date: “February 7, 2012.”

I dislike the traditional Church tract.
I have never been a fan of handing out tracts, fake million dollar bills or funny little mind games as a statement of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, these little papers, booklets, etc have made me less motivated to actually witness to strangers because the way that these tracts have been poorly thought out.
Would somebody really want to listen to you explain the gospel on a fake dollar bill?
The answer, more often than not is, “No” — they could care less!
However, I have recently discovered a new type of tract called The Story from Spread Truth Ministries. They have even developed an iOS app for iPhone that allows you to share the tract on your mobile device.
Very nice and innovative!
If you’ve never heard of Steam, it’s a PC/Mac gaming portal (like an iTunes App Store) that gives its users instant access to over 1,100 games that can be purchased, downloaded and played from any computer. There is also a community you can engage in, chat with friends while gaming, get automatic game updates and best of all, enjoy Steam-only special offers that included low prices and free-play weekends.
With a soon to be released mobile app, users will be able to purchase new game releases and special offers straight from their iPhone or Android, something that previously could only be done from the Steam desktop app.
If those in support of SOPA/PIPA were really interested in stopping piracy, they would follow Steam’s lead.

The iPhone was born in 1983.
Crazy, right?
Hartmut Esslinger, founder of design firm frog design, designed a touchscreen phone prototype for Apple while he was under contract by the company to work on projects like the Apple IIc.
This is a prime example of not letting your dreams and ideas die, but nurturing them and letting them grow. Sure, this phone isn’t nearly as awesome as an iPhone, but it was one of many steps toward it.
