In terms of browser performance, JavaScript is key. After all, more applications are beginning to base huge components of their user interface and even part of their data layer on functionality offered by the platform. That’s why the major browser vendors are so focused on optimizing their JavaScript engines. Sure, some are faster than others. [...]

This is pretty neat stuff if you ask me. Joel Lingenfelter shows us how they created a simple way for volunteers at their other sites to create a wireless network that connected to the main campus via VPN. Check out this video walkthrough:

It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally here: Google Voice is now open for business without an invite! Thank goodness, because I, for one, have loved the use of Google Voice, even if the auto-transcription service still has a little to be desired. Is this something that you would suggest your ministry team [...]

This could be a godsend for the right ministry (both small and large) that has the technical chops to make it happen. OpenVBX has launched their open source version of their popular phone system software to other organizations for free. The only “catch” is that you’re going to have to use their cloud-based system to [...]

Hmm. I will admit that I have slowly become a WiFi snob. I expect a building and location to have a wireless access point and if it doesn’t I quickly dismiss it as being stuck in the stone-age. I need to stop that (and maybe you do too).

But, I will say that the automated transcription service is still, hands down, the weakest part of the service. It does though provide some pretty entertaining messages at times. For example, I got this the other day and [...]

If you would have asked me two years ago what I thought about netbooks, I would would have told you they were a good solution for your grandma or a slick looking waste of money. If you would have asked me 7 years ago about a full sized notebook, I would have told you the [...]

The information technology world of ministry and the church is changing rapidly. Actually, I think it might be more of an instance of the Church catching up with the rest of the world. But, in either case we have opportunities for radical changes that are actually healthy for our organizations. But, I’m not sure we [...]

The first time my mom saw the iPad I was honestly shocked at how engaged and interested she was in the device. To me the iPad has been somewhat of a larger-version of an iPhone, and the iPhone didn’t really impress her when she first saw it. But the large screen, the navigation, everything really [...]

Apparently if you leave your iPhone in a place where it can get really, really hot, it’ll actually lock up on you and give you the above warning sign! I had no idea, and it’s not like you want this to happen anyways, right?
