How 'bout a mobile version of the Church Crunch site to show us how to leverage the iPhone & Android phones a bit more? ;)

I actually find it more sad that Churches hold onto their code. I would love to see an open sourcing movement for Church technology.

I would have to say that I am reading my Bible far more often since I have it on my iPhone. This is one area that my iPhone has truly helped me to get more scripture into my head. And I use the YouVersion app, and am looking forward to the upcoming reading plans feature.

How well do you know Russian? :) ( at least I think that first image is in Russian )

If you use Chrome as your browser there is a Wave Notifier extension you can use, which has come in handy for me. granted this only works if you are camped out in front of your computer...

Seems to be really laggy at the moment. If those things get worked out, this will be really cool.

I have a whole bunch of Wave invites to give away if anybody wants one. I am having a hard time giving these things away, it almost seems like the Wave bubble has burst among the people I know.

If you are interested in an invite send me a message at jeff [--at--] thebristows.com

I see 'Online Church' as simply a tool at our disposal to reach more people. There are people who are camped out in their homes on the computer far more than we may want to know. And this behavior makes it so traditional relational techniques simply will not reach these people. And I believe that this group is a growing breed. How can we reach these people if we have no means to interact with them? I see 'Online Church' or eVangelism as essentially a way to reach people where they are, and in this sense, physically where they are (at their computer). We can reach a whole subset of our culture that is nearly impossible to reach using traditional methods. As long as the technology doesn't change the message then the gospel is being spread.

Why Pro Life is the best book I have read on this subject. I hope more people will read it, Randy doesn't get clogged up with the arguments of the day, and just tells it like it is with compassion and evidence. It is a great read.

30GB of MP3 storage for only like $30. Woot special. I use my iPhone mostly, but I do like my old Zune. And the Zune software is better than iTunes in my opinion, though I rarely use it since my iPhone is with me all the time.
