  • If you were wanting to run BibleWorks 8 on your Mac …

    now might be a decent time to think about it. Parallels is currently $15 off (normally $79 and currently $64).  That lasts through April 15th and they’re throwing in some free tax software too.  If your not sure about running Windows on your Mac, they also have a 15 day free trial version if you…

  • If you want to waste 99 minutes of your life …

    then watch The Invention of Lying.  It’s not just the caricature of religion that is ridiculous; it’s really the whole premise of the movie.  “Being honest” apparently means blurting out random stuff even when unsolicited, even though that principle is not applied in a balanced fashion throughout.  You only have to blurt out random oddball…

    and it is just about the coolest thing … ever.  I have been dropping hints at my wife for quite a long time now.  I think she finally got fed up with my old phone, which was on its last leg (I promise I didn’t just pretend like the service was bad just so I…

  • Daily Hebrew and Greek in BibleWorks 8

    Probably the feature that I was most excited about when I found out I would have the opportunity to review BibleWorks 8 was the Bagster’s Daily Light feature, which allows this resource to be viewed in the language of one’s choosing whether, English, Greek/Hebrew, or otherwise.  I run my website and blog related to the…
