Ting Vs Charge for Cell Service
I like Ting a lot. The pricing model is well conceived, and the resultant costs are low. The customer service is fantastic. The website and mobile apps function flawlessly. I never get unexpected charges. Laura and I have been on it for three years, and our average...

Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption now has a promo page on bjupress.com. If you haven't yet purchased a copy, you will want to do so now that there is a promo page. Bryan Smith, the presenter on the video there, is the one whose vision I was trying to live...
How to Listen to YouTube Lectures as Podcasts
Update: I have a massively revised version of this set of tips here. I am all the time seeing YouTube lectures I want to listen to—that's right, listen to, not watch. I just can't watch a YouTube lecture. I'm distracted by all the other things I need to do on my...

Kindle Aping Oyster?
Wow! This could be extremely cool—Amazon opening a subscription service like Oyster Books. Or, like Oyster, it could be extremely cool and ultimately not conducive to my personal and financial purposes. I really liked Oyster and signed up immediately, but I let my...
Droplr Awesome
I love Droplr, and over the last six months I have used it nearly 800 times. It's one of the very few online services that I pay actual money for (I used to pay for LastPass, but I switched to 1Password, which is slightly better for my needs and has a one-time fee)....
