Thursday, October 1st, 2009Remote for Powerpoint and keynote
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Tonight I installed an app on my iPhone that is truly amazing. I can control my Keynote (or PowerPoint) from my phone. (Click here to install it on your iphone) 
Now why in the world would you want to control your presentation with your phone?
- I can see my slide notes on the screen of my phone.
- If I turn a different mode on – I can see my slides – on my phone.
- As a remote – running over WiFi – I get a much more consistent and solid connection to my computer than I would from Apple’s IR remote or a third party remote.
- I can see a timer on my phone – to keep me on time with my presentation.
- The software has a pointer that I can use over my Keynote to highlight sections on the screen.
- Honestly – I can’t find my Apple remote – and this is much better than setting my laptop in front of me and hitting the space bar.
This is truly awesome – I am sold. And – it cost 99 cents! Imagine spending a buck and getting a remote for your presentation. It’s not another gadget to carry around or loose – I always have my phone.
I am in geek heaven – not really but at least on a geek high.
Pointer for iPhone – company website
Install the App on your iPhone
You will have to install an app on your computer (Pointer Server) – which you can download from their website. It might add an additional 2 minutes to your install – but well worth the time.

Thursday, December 4th, 2008This is our last video email of the semester at DTS.
This was produced by the amazing team that I am blessed to work with. Ryan Holmes (Production Manager) and Jessica Holland (Producer) traveled to Stillwater, Ok to film this. Joey Woestman (Producer) edited the story and created this video. Jonathan Galloway (Audio Enginner) makes sure that we sound good.

It is very powerful. The stories are amazing. I especially liked the stories from Greg Ellis and Brian Welch.
Logos for Mac @ Prepub
Friday, November 7th, 2008
Logos is Bible software and I have been using it since 1995. Over the years the software has added great academic and practical functionality to Bible study – as well as literally thousands of books to the library. I originally purchased the scholar’s library (a big package with hundreds of books) and I have been adding to it since then. But since I switched to an Apple a few years ago, running Logos through a virtual PC has been a pain.
I have been trying out Logos for Mac since the alpha was released. I have to admit – I am a Logos fan, but not a fan of running Windows in order to get to it.
I have been running Logos on my mac using Parallels for well over two years. But the problem is Windows. I really don’t like having to deal with Windows in order to get to Logos. Logos has a great library – but is also very slow.
This was the original concept icon for Logos for Mac
But now, Logos is native on my Mac – and I am a big fan. It runs much faster on my mac than it does in windows. Try searching for “God” in Logos on a Windows computer and you will need a pillow for the nap. But the Mac version – is so much betta.
Now my Greek and Hebrew don’t search correctly (hey, I am still using the beta) but for referencing the hundreds of books in my library. It is awesome. I am really looking forward to the actual release – which is soon!
Last night Logos sent me an email notifying me that they are now accepting pre-orders. The best part is that I only have to spend $59.95 to get the mac version of the engine. For a limited time Logos is offering a free upgrade if you purchase $250 worth of other products from their site. I already have a huge library and my economy isn’t getting a bail out – so I’ll just stick with the upgrade. As soon as I get my hands on a copy I will post a thorough review.
