Just another VansWebsites.com site
– Britekite is a new social media site like twitter that is location based. Here is someone that went to church today…
Good way to invite your friends out.
– I know… I keep posting links to these articles… but it just seems to not go away. This is a good one that points out the bigotry that is coming our way in the church…
I love how they blame the Mormon church for it’s $2,864 donated…
I have total faith that it will come back exactly as they said it is…
– Another great video from SethAdamSmith. This one is very motivational about making a difference. Would be great to use in a seminary class! Some great quotes and video in there! Thanks Seth!
– This is a new iPhone application (costs $2.99), that will turn your iPhone into a baby monitor. Very clever use of technology. Turn it on, and if it detects noise, it will automatically call another number (home number, other cell). Unlimited range…
If I had an infant I would so buy this!
There is even a log created of all sound events… good for analyzing what the baby is doing!
– Oh this is great! Thanks for sharing Larry!! It really goes to show how grateful we should be for the technology that we have! Don’t forget!! It is AMAZING the things we can do…
Shoot… look at me… sometimes I get grumpy because I want to blog and it takes too long… lately I just write my comments on what I have been reading and BAM… automatically posted each day… that is AWESOME!
– Wow… this story is tragic and very VERY sad. What is more disturbing to me though are the comments. I only read through about 15-20 of them, but they are full of hatred and finger pointing, both racially, and politically. It just makes me sick to my stomach to see how greed and hatred has taken hold in our society.
1 John 4:7, 11-12 and many other similar scriptures come to mind… Can’t we all just get along?
– If you order anything online from Deseret Book you get this free CD from Paul Cardall (who I love… he has great soothing piano music). Just thought I would throw that out there!!
Good while supplies last, so don’t wait too long…
– I have long been a fan of GospeLink, but hated when they went to a monthly subscription base… but here is a good deal to get a Free 30 day trial… no strings attached… you don’t even have to give a CC # or anything. Very nice… I will certainly enjoy using it again for the next 30 days…
Check it out!
– Note from a Catholic Bishop to President Monson… wow.. that is the most supportive I have heard the Catholic church ever be of the LDS church.
– The church put together a great compilation of voices from other churches, and even those that opposed Proposition 8 speaking out against the hate and physical retaliation that has come out against the church. Those newsroom folks are really doing a good job of finding the good out there, because there is certainly a lot of bad…
– More Good Foundation found another great Analytics program that would allow you to initiate a conversation with a visitor… this is great! Oh and they use Jing to do a screencast! Awesome!
– Another must see… if you haven’t seen this! Great use of technology… it really fits the music too!
– Great article… favorite line: “The outbreak of attacks on the Mormon church since the passage of Proposition 8 has been chilling.” Indeed.. chilling is exactly what it has been.
– A great new website on the other side of all this Prop 8 hatred… thanks to those that put this together.
– I thought this was an incredibly accurate blog! It is about how the iPhone lets you navigate with one hand in the middle of night while you are up with the kids! I can certainly say I have used those middle of the night hours to get caught up with others thanks to my mobile devices. In all fairness, I could also navigate pretty well with a blackberry one handed.
– It seems that a lot of the discussion surrounding technology and the church have to do with accessing the scriptures in different formats. I have been amazed at the different ways people want to experience them. Here is another good example.
– This is a great example of how technology can hurt you… I think that the problem with TV is that there is too much bad, and not enough good! Notice too that church attendance makes you happier.. who knew?
– Some Great Tips to get into helping with getting the good stuff to be seen on YouTube! Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing Heather!
– Some awesome brother made this video up.. it’s great! Check it out!!
Still doing my daily duty to rate up the good stuff and bury the bad stuff on youtube!
– I have been a regular user of the Scriptures app on the iPhone… but it died on me again today. I keep having to uninstall and reinstall, or restart… and it is slow. I love that it has all the footnotes and so forth, but it just takes too long to load…
Today I read about this new one and downloaded it… best part…. I CAN HIGHLIGHT AGAIN ON MY MOBILE DEVICE!! Awesome! Costs $14.99… but well worth it to me who likes to study in bed and leave the light off so my sweet wife can continue to sleep!
– Oh this is just an awesome… who says there isn’t a need for scriptures on mobile format… this one if for a gaming device… and he actually has managed to get it in .txt format on there… that’s great!!
– I didn’t even know they were making a docu-drama about President Hinckley… it’s times like these I wish I lived in SLC… perhaps one day…. oh, and then I would see snow every once in a while!
– Just in case you hadn’t seen this yet… this is really a great site to point folks to. The church did a really good job on this!!
– As we look more toward social media and viral marketing of the church on the internet this is a great thread to read about the use of church materials…
For now at least the church seems to be turning a blind eye to the use of church materials in YouTube video’s. The problem becomes when others starting taking that and using it for bad… right now members of the church are mostly using it for good videos! Which there are a lot of!
– I spent about 5 minutes today rating down horrible video’s on YouTube and rating up some good ones… this one is great!!
– Oh… this will not turn out well… especially with a gay actor cast as the lead Mormon missionary.. I cringe even thinking about it…
– Good Example of someone using social media to reach out to others and help others do the right thing!
My son’s 8th birthday is coming up in June… perhaps I will challenge my family too!
