We’re off to Lake Malawi for a few days of relaxation. The computer and cell phone are staying home. See you next week. These photos of Lake Malawi are courtesy of my friend, Tim Cowley. See more beautiful photos of Lake Malawi on Tim’s Blog: The Former Optimist: Beach House [...]
Here are some places to get started: Tripping on the Trinity has a pseudo-choral rendition of 2 Corinthians 13:13. Grasshopper Greek: Apocalyptic Rock has Revelation 4:11 set to a rock beat. Check out the comments about “worthy is the barber.” Sing The Greek Alphabet Song is just what it says. Two different versions: one by [...]
Note: See yesterday’s post for the beginning of this series. Much of what I’m talking about here is targeting the end users themselves. But it makes a lot of sense to target the “middle men” such as Internet cafe owners and dump digital data on them that they can give away. The contents of CD-ROM [...]

This photo from 1998 in Portugal shows the kids sitting on Dad’s lap. From left to right: Henry, Andrew and Eleanor. Eleanor’s birthday is today and Henry’s is tomorrow. We still have the copy of Curious George seen in this photo but it has completely fallen apart and is tucked [...]

Um jovem em Angonia, Tete escuta música no seu telemovel. Recebeu os mp3s atraves de Bluetooth do aparelho dum amigo.
Everywhere I go in Mozambique these days, I see young people with earphones hanging out of their ears attached to their mobile phone. Where did they get the music that they’re listening to? Hardly anyone is hooked up to the Internet. There are no music stores. Another common sight is one guy staring at his [...]
“Nomadism increases productivity—you get more done. With it comes an addictive behaviour that also occurs in gambling. There is a random pattern of awards, you never know when it pays out, so you keep going.” Source: Author interview with Andreas Kluth I am so there! What is interesting to me about the “new” trend [...]
An article by HASH at White African called Think Different: Africa’s Technology Gap got me thinking about the ways that the digital divide is not as wide in Africa as we might assume. Mobile phones are a perfect platform for Africans to get on the Cyber-Highway. Mobility One way that mobile phones distinctly [...]
This is not a rant. But the title was my entry in the caption contest over at The Ongoing Adventures of ASBO Jesus. There are many very funny comments (43 and counting…) Read: Another COMPETITION!
“You must have way too much time on your hands.” How many times have people told me that? For some reason, normal people find that someone who spends a couple hours a day writing and reading blogs is some kind of social deviant. But the truth is I spend a small fraction of my life [...]
The nice thing about being the pastor is you always get to have a sermon on a topic you’re interested in. But if you’re the poor saint in the pew, church can sometimes be tough. Thinking about this made me realize the many ways that blogging is better than going to church. 1. If a [...]
It’s always interesting to discover who reads my blog. Two of the more secretive Lingamish addicts are Chris Tilling and Mark Goodacre. I know this because although they’ve never made reference to this blog in print or seen fit to put me on their blogrolls, my stats page tells me that I get multiple daily [...]
