Musings, Technology and The Gospel

  • Where to Find the Mormon Church on Twitter
  • – Great compilation of all the LDS twitter feeds!! Thanks for putting this together David.

  • LDS Living
  • – This is a fantastic report of all sorts of data about the LDS church and its members. I found it very fascinating to read!

  • 99 Cents Could Buy A House
  • – This is a brother from the church donating 100% of all the proceeds from the purchase of this song to build a home for refugees. Come on… it’s .99 cents. Even I can help out with this one… and I get a song in return! Sweet! It’s got a nice 60’s/70’s feel to it!

  • Provo and Orem do not disappoint when it comes to drinking and smoking
  • – This has list of “Heaviest Drinking Metro Areas” and “Most Sober Metro Areas.” Provo falls in the second category, but I was surprised to see two of my North Carolina towns in the Most sober top ten as well! Go NC!!

  • Ward/Stake calendar subscriptions
  • – Did I mention I love the LDSTech Forums? Here is another great post that has a link off to the product line for the church calendaring system. Now if we could actually make some progress on getting this stuff developed and implemented… I so wish I could contribute more than ideas… perhaps one day! (I just need to learn a programming language that would be useful!)

  • Emergency Notification and Texting
  • – This would be an awesome addition to the church system. I said as much on the forum, but just to repeat here. It could be set up on an opt-in basis. I know many, many folks would like this type of functionality… especially leaders of youth!

    I did some research into SMS texting a while back for my job and the big drawback is getting a SMS number to text from. It was absurdly expensive (like $30K a month or something like that). Now granted, this was a couple of years ago and there are a lot of free services out there that offer SMS as part of the software (Read: Google Voice), so maybe the prices have come down, or maybe we could tie into one of these online services.

  • Share Your Voice Online: Adopt a Site
  • – This is fantastic! The More Good Foundation folks are providing church related domains and training folks on how to maintain them! If you have wanted to do something to contribute to good content on the internet related to the church, here is your chance! :)

  • I Resign from the Republican Party
  • – Wow… this is really interesting… I have to say that I agree with much of what Larry says here… I’m not sure if I will change my party status.. but I just may…

  • Teen Mobile Phone Use
  • – This is amazing to me to see how much the youth use technology in the US…
