A new edition of the GNT for the digital age. Unicode, no DRM. And, at last, a printed GNT with sharp, beautiful typography? We'll see. HT: Rod Decker

Audio from Amazon’s Audible
I got Freakonomics (something fun for me and wife to listen to) and Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, something by a major secular church historian I thought I ought to stay aware of.
All Are Yours, But You Have Only One Father
My pastor preached a message last night on 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 which I thought showed great insight into how the Internet has affected Christianity—and what Paul says we should do about it. Here are my notes to that sermon. Party Heads Immediately after Paul’s...
Seminary Project Lab Workshops and Live Webcast
The following is a promo for Duncan Johnson’s sure-to-be-valuable lectures. I strongly urge guys training for the ministry to go to or watch at least the first two. I use a different system than Zotero, but if you have no system, go to the third one as well! Saturday,...
Paper-Writing Tech Tip
I’m writing a dissertation in Turabian format, which means double-spaced lines (except in footnotes). That, in turn, means I can’t see very much of my work at once: By Word’s count, I can see 299 words on that screen. But my writing style involves a lot of re-reading,...
I See Where They’re Going with This!
AutoHotkey
One of my favorite little programs is AutoHotkey. You can write nearly any macro script you can think of to perform nearly any task you do often. I’ll give one example. I found that I was regularly having to find my tagged link for Amazon books, copy it, and paste it...

Logos for Mac Leaving Beta
Logos for Mac has done a lot to catch up with Logos for Windows in the last few months. I am really liking it. It is now about to leave Beta, and you should check it out (note their cool giveaway, too!). A reminder: BJU students and F/S may use this link to get a...
Pogue Rules
David Pogue is the best tech columnist I’ve come across. Sensible. Funny. NY Times. He just wrote an article you should read if you are paying someone to filter your Internet for you. In the article he recommends Open DNS, the service I personally use to do my...
Boomerang for Gmail
If you’re not using Gmail for all your e-mailing needs, you should be. Gmail archives your messages instead of automatically trashing them. That means it keeps all your e-mails forever, so you won’t lose messages or addresses or file attachments. And if you need to...
WardMarkTechTipBlogPost
An acquaintance recently wrote me: I took your seminar a few years ago on electronic filling and it has helped immensely. I've even moved to a different seminary, and it is still an effective system. In a summer course the other day, a fellow student bemoaned not...
