Donate to Wikipedia

I admit to being somewhat cheap. If I can use an online service for free, I generally do so. I've never paid Dropbox a cent (though I've come close, and I've sent them a lot of customers). But the laborer is worthy of his hire, the Bible says, and there are a few...

BJU students, click here and you'll get free space in the fantastic online storage site Dropbox. They're having a "space race"—the more BJU students and faculty/staff who click, the more free space we all get. I'm up to 5GB of additional free space for the next two...

Top 50 Biblioblogs for November 2012

I just checked out again the Biblioblog top 50—the 50 biblical studies-related blogs that had the most hits in the past month. That includes a pretty big bunch of blogs, nearly 600 from across the theological (and even atheistical) spectrum. So why are there...

Black Friday Deal for Bloggers

I use the Standard theme for my blog (as do Brian Collins and Andy Naselli, FWIW). It’s very well done. I ponied up $100 for the Support License so I could install it on other people’s sites. But till Monday, that license is only $69.30. And the basic, one-site...

Check Out the New Frame-Poythress Site!

I've received a lot of benefit from the works of John Frame and Vern Poythress, so when I noticed that their site design was sending out a 1996 vibe, I e-mailed their webmaster and offered my services. The result is finally up! Check it out! There are tons of great...

Megaupload.com

So a man constructs a heavily fortified, state-of-the-art port on the coast of Somalia. He allows any ship in the world to come into the port carrying whatever they want to carry—as long as they promise, cross their hearrrrrts, that they’re not pirates. “We promise!...

David Pogue on the Religious War Among Technology Enthusiasts

David Pogue, entertaining and perceptive and level-headed tech reviewer at the NY Times, proves again why I read every one of his columns in this genuinely helpful post. When you buy a product, you are, in a way, locking yourself in. You’re committing to a brand....

Nerdy Tuesdays: GREP

So. I had a huge list of books that was to go up on a website I designed. The list included ISBNs, and I wanted to make every ISBN a link containing my Amazon affiliate code. The list included the ISBNs in a convenient standard format: "ISBN 1234567890123." All the...

Five Reasons to Buy Logos

Several concerned friends have contacted me about a blog post detailing Five Reasons Not to Buy Logos. I urge everyone considering such a purchase to read the five reasons, but you could save about 80% of your time reading that post by being a regular reader of...

Automatic Screenshot Uploads to Dropbox Public Folder

For the extreme nerds who, like me, often feel frustrated with the limited screenshot capabilities of Windows 7, long for their Macs whenever they need to take screenshots, and are huge Dropbox fans: This guy has done us all a good service.

Audio Book Advice from a Pro

I asked a good friend of mine who does quite a bit of commuting and who knows books what he thinks about audio book sites like Christian Audio and Amazon's Audible. I asked him if I could turn his excellent answer into a blog post: I have pretty limited exposure to...

Google and Privacy

Every once in a while I give in to the temptation to write an assertive post despite believing firmly that there must be an alternative perspective of which I am unaware. I'm afraid I'm bowing to the rules of the blog genre: I'm posting this despite my ignorance. (I'm...
