I wrote last at my infrequent, long-format blog Rev. Scott Wells that I was cutting back — cutting out, really — my meat eating, and less Google. I wonder what is more difficult.
While I wasn’t terribly clear in my blog post, it boils down to an unwholesome dependence on a company that’s quickly becoming a [...]
Dear readers — both of this blog, and readers generally — how many of you read long-format documents with a portable text readers in the ePub format? (The Amazon Kindle’s proprietary format does not count here.)
By reader I mean “conventional” tablet-sized readers, phones or laptops? Or even desktop computers.
And what do you read with it?

Federal offices in D.C. are closed today because of the snowstorm, and my office follows that decision. But with the year winding down, I still have work to do, and so I wanted to tell you about a tool I’m using that makes that possible.
Dropbox synchs up for files between your computers and at a [...]
So Google Wave is the big new thing, right? (Of course, the same was said of the Segway scooter-ma-bob-thingy and the sight of one still makes me giggle.) It’s a email-editor-chatty thingy, or in English, real-time communication and collaboration.
For church people, the value is in holding remote working meetings. Work up a schedule, draft a [...]

Googling around tonight, I discovered UKUnitarian.org.uk “A resource about, and for, Unitarians” — and a wise, common use of a branded Web resource for (as yet) 31 mostly-small congregations and institutions. Plus, it’s a free service for the churches and simply-formatted sites are bright, cheerful and both better than nothing and better than something over-adventuresome [...]
I recently backed up my home computer, reinstalled Ubuntu Linux and decided the terabyte-sized external hard drive was a must. (I recall my younger self backing up with floppy disks. A quick calculation suggests it would take 7510 pounds of those old disks for my current data. And I’m nowhere close to using up that [...]
Piggybacking on Kim Hampton’s first-things-first approach (do read it) to ability and accessibility, let me humbly ask that all producers of online audio or video media create a text transcript to accompany it.
This is a matter of access in these ways:
Some people cannot see and other cannot hear. Text allows people to read, to hear [...]
If you use Gmail for your church or nonprofit business, just go ahead and review these tips from Google. There’s even a ready-to-print version. (Thanks L. N. for the head’s up)
